You lucky dog!  More pics please.

A dozen photos of the main model and some of the pieces close-up:

The electronic gizmo: the red gem contains a watch battery, and briefly
ignites the dragon's eyes and mouth (can't tell in the flash photo.) When
stolen from the dragon, it powers the sorcerer's monument, lighting up 3
runes, and with the secret code (psst: it's 1-2-3) raises the secret chamber
with the mage's staff.

Help us: they've included a trap door. Ugh. It's a clunky 3-piece endeavor
where the lever pulls up the door (and tempts its own breaking point
somewhere near the top.)

The dragon's legs and arms fall off, and the wings have a flapping mechanism
that is quite poor. The chain ring comes off his nose. He's just the right
size to chow down on a figure--the jaw moves. Otherwise sturdy and robust.

Feeling attracted yet strangely repulsed.  This set reminds me of the
'Masters of the Universe' crossed with an early Arnold 'Conan' movie.
