70503 The Golden Dragon is a Ninjago set released for the 2013 wave. It features a golden dragon and a small Stone Army Catapult. The set includes Lloyd Garmadon, a Scout, and a Warrior.

Description

The Golden Dragon is mainly gold and green. The dragon uses the upper head mould from 2509 Earth Dragon Defence, but the eyes are placed further back, and the piece is coloured gold and green. Like the other dragons; it has wings that fold out; a head that launches a ball; a seat for the rider; and legs with black, three-clawed toe elements, but it differs from the other dragons in that it has a split tail and it's wings use blade pieces.

The warrior's outpost features a small black and red weapons rack and catapult with which to launch the scout.

Notes

This is the seventh set that includes a Dragon (including the one that comes in set 30083 Dragon Fight).
Oddly enough, it appears that Lloyd is holding Kai's Fire sword in the set picture. This is impossible due to the fact that it was destroyed in the episode "Wrong Place, Wrong Time".
"The Golden Dragon" is also the name of a style used by the practiced by The First Spinjitzu Master, which Lloyd Garmadon learns after getting powered up by all four elements.
