When I first saw the third wave of Monkie Kid sets, Monkie Kid’s Lion Guardian made my top picks. I greatly enjoyed the stone guardians outside of the Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon set, as well as the costumes from Lion Dance. Additionally, the arcade side build looks fun in this set. This is the fourth set in my

Previously, I reviewed Monkie Kid’s

Second in my Monkie Kid review series comes Red Son’s Inferno Jet (80019). As I am working my way through the third wave of sets in size order, it goes without saying that this is the second to smallest set. It is also one of the less interesting in my opinion. Perhaps even the most uninteresting. However, even this set

However, I went and picked that one up myself out of pure excitement. The big draw these sets held for me was the commemorative 10th anniversary golden Minifigures. Today,

My collection of 10th anniversary golden ninja Minifigures continues to grow. This time, I have acquired and built the Ninjago Legacy Boulder Blaster (71736). Incidentally, it comes with the limited-edition Golden Kai character. In truth, I got the set for free for review purposes. However, I am a sucker for collectibles. Therefore, I might have acquired this set anyway just

The set offers an expansion to two of the most beloved Ninjago sets of all time: Ninjago City and Ninjago City Docks.

Having grown up with LEGO® Pirates, I am a fan of brick-built ships. I am also a fan of Ninjago. Therefore, Destiny’s Bounty (71705) quickly made my wish list. I have the previous iteration of the ship from the Ninjago Movie already (70618). However, I wanted this one as well and was curious to see how the two models compare.
