80039: The Heavenly Realms Set Review

Despite the theme’s limited availability, LEGO® Monkie Kid has rapidly become the go-to theme for wacky minifigures and impressive builds. It provides everything from small vehicles to big mechs but one of my favourite Monkie Kid offerings are those sets based on a location. Flower Fruit Mountain and The City of Lanterns were amazing sets but do they have some competition from the set I’m taking a look at today? The...

80023: Monkie Kid’s Team Dronecopter Set Review

The second largest of the new LEGO® Monkie Kid sets just so happens to be the first of them to be revealed late last year. Since then the set has been given a name change, but still remains an interesting addition to Monkie Kid’s line-up of vehicular weaponry. Although it’s not really a helicopter or a drone, it is a feature-packed build, which also includes the largest number of characters of any Monkie Kid set. The...
