Monkie Kid is an interesting theme. It offers stunning sets, like the Legendary Flower Fruit Mountain. However, it also delivers a ridiculous number of Ninjago-like vehicles, like Red Son’s Inferno Jet. Needless to say, I am big fan of the scenic sets and buildings. Less so the vehicles. It looks like the summer 2022 Monkie Kid sets bring a similar selection of kits. Let’s take a closer look!

Closing thoughts…
While the summer 2022 Monkie Kid wave is small, it is interesting. Certainly, the Heavenly Realms makes my wish list. It looks like there are a lot of great techniques and interesting designs there. Additionally, the Minifigures look amazing! While not the top of my list, the Dragon of the East intrigues me as well. I have built several LEGO® dragons lately for fun. This one appears to have a built in submarine, which interests me a little less. However, I might acquire it anyway. Interestingly, this set appears to go well with the Underwater Journey polybag from early 2022. I felt that one needed a complimentary set, and here it is! What do you think of the summer 2022 Monkie Kid sets? Let us know in the comments below or reach out on social media.
Until next time,
