OK, I really had no idea this was coming when I posted https://www.ispeaksoftware.com/three-builds-based-on-sun-wukong-the-monkey-king/ Who knew that the collectible Monkey King minifig was just a test case for a whole new LEGO theme of Monkie Kid?
Gotta say, I’m kinda impressed by the over the top designs of some of these. They do draw on LEGO’s experience with the Ninjago line. My complaint about LEGO pricing remains, though – no normal kid can afford to collect that toy line. 8 sets with the cheapest at $35? 3 of the sets over $100? (170 + 150 + 120 + 90 + 70 + 60 + 50 + 35) = $745 What kid has that kind of disposable income? You could buy two video game consoles and a game for that! I find it very offensive to my wallet.
