==Trivia==
*The Firstbourne is mentioned in this set as "the mother of all dragons," as she is in the series.
*The Firstbourne shares the same tail function like many other dragons where the tail can sway back and forth by way of technic function.
*Despite riding Firstbourne in the set, Kai is never seen doing so in the show - instead, Wu rides her while wearing the Dragon Armor. Kai was likely included to hide the twist of Wu being the one to fly Firstbourne and his red robes match Firstbourne's color scheme.
*This was the cheapest way to get the Hunted Cole, Heavy Metal, and Chew Toy minifigures.
**The Cole minifigure in this set, however, has a gold logo on his bandana, as opposed to the orange logo that Cole's Hunted variant sports in the series and 70655 The Dragon Pit. The bandana piece is the one from The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
