Rumors have circulated the web for weeks now regarding the new theme from the LEGO® Group. At last, the official news is out. Consequently, we have a rundown of the new Monkie Kid sets coming out this summer. Monkie Kid is based on the popular Chinese tale of the Monkey King. The theme’s first wave features eight sets. Additionally, Monkie Kid has an upcoming movie and TV series. We will discuss those in more detail in another post (click here to read it). The sets went on sale for May 15 in China, Singapore, Malaysia, and Hong Kong. The worldwide sales began May 16.
The sets are now available for sale at the LEGO® Store. Click here to go see them (this is an affiliate link that earns True North Bricks a commission should you chose to make a purchase. It does not cost you anything extra to use this link, but it does use cookies.)

Concluding Thoughts on Monkie Kid Sets
Monkie Kid seems very reminiscent of Ninjago upon first glance. However, this theme is reportedly based on an actual classic Chinese tale. I will explore that concept in another post though (click here to read it). In terms of this first wave of sets, there are a couple that appeal to me. Buildings are always welcome, and the Inferno Truck and Warrior Mech sets include some. I am not too keen on the Inferno Truck itself, but the Warrior Mech looks amazingly detailed. I do not normally collect mechs, but I might make an exception here. Finally, the Secret HQ looks neat. I like the shipping containers.
The signage on these all these sets would look great in the Ninjago district of my LEGO® city. Therefore, for me, this theme is more of an inspiration for MOCs. How do you feel about it? Comment below or send me a message on social media. For more LEGO® news, click here.
Until next time,
