2023 Monkie Kid's Team Hideout EARLY Review! LEGO Monkie Kid Set 80044

[@BricksByMind]

Which 2023 Monkie Kid set do you want to see a review on next? Check out my early review of the Monkey King Ultra Mech, if you missed it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGPNoYmthZahas0

[@chinmayramamurthy7549]

Can you do a video combining this and city of lanterns? The lego website says they r meant to be combined but I can't figure out how

[@chinmayramamurthy7549]

Or even just a video combining every monkie kid side build

Translations for the Chinese texts throughout the set: 1:50 wooden Pigsy’s Noodles tile: 美味至上 “delicious first” 5:15 Speedy Panda stand sign: 熊貓食雜 “Panda foods and miscellaneous” 5:21 box: 肉 “meat” 6:50 poster: 告示 “notice” 7:18 stickered tile on the wall: 老沙解魚 “old Sandy dissecting fish” (btw based on what the sticker shows, I think that stem piece placed under it is meant to represent fish bones. Not sure why it’s glow-in-the-dark though.) 8:12 sticker on the wall: 西域新品 “new items from the western region” 8:24 papers on the wall: top left: 貴 “expensive” bottom left: 高老莊 Gao Village (a location in JTTW) Top right: 牛肉 “beef” 8:35 Menu: left: 扯麵 “pulled noodle” right: 涼皮 “cold skin” (a type of Chinese noodle) 8:44 Pigsy’s shop sign: 老朱食肆 “Pigsy’s Restaurant” red 1x2 tile hung under the sign: 正宗 “orthodox” 11:03 stone tablet in the shrine: 如意金箍棒 “Golden Staff” 15:19 note board: 欠 “owe” (seems to indicate that whoever wrote this note owes the Monkey King some money since there’s a monkey symbol next to the text) 15:56 white 2x2 tile: 井兔 “rabbit fallen into a well” 16:00 Red 2x4 tile: 拼搭之道止於至善 “The way of building stops at perfection”

[@BricksByMind]

Thank you!

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]

Thanks. I believe the sign on MKs back is 'Tian' which means Heaven or Sky.

[@caseyhung]

@@TheRealFeechLaManna Yeah it’s 天 which means “sky” but it’s also meant to represent MK’s name since his Chinese name is 齊小天

[@caseyhung]

Also I just found out there’s a bright orange 1x4 tile above the cave which can be seen at 13:47 which says 秘密基地 “secret base”

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]

@@caseyhung Oh I thought his Chinese name was Sun Wu Kung?

[@Henfrig]

The people in the portrait are Timmy and Dr. Cyber from Time Cruisers, one of the oldest lego story themes

[@shqip_sumejja]

One of the best and most underrated themes to have existed as well

[@edoardom3677]

Maybe it's because they are going to time travel too?

[@shqip_sumejja]

@@edoardom3677 "MK is copying hands of time" 🤓🤓🤓

[@bricktopian]

thats what I thought it was too

[@dordeivkovic]

Thanks for rhe review, much appreciated! The "gadget" at the 14:14 is called erhu. It's a traditional Asian string instrument that's played with a bow (hence the magic wand). It's a shame we didn't get a glimpse at how this set connects to The City of Lanterns though. Have you tried connecting them to see how they go together?

[@BricksByMind]

I’ve not tried it yet, but will do it in an upcoming video

[@PowerChordOverlord]

I was thinking it must be some kind of stringed instrument, as there are what looked to be guitar chord charts on the sticker print just above it!

[@dordeivkovic]

@@BricksByMind do you think it could connect to The Legendary Flower Fruit Mountain as well?

[@Songal18]

The mountain build here gives me Garmadon Monastery/Wu's Tea Shop vibes. It's another beautiful build, thank you for the review on it ^^

[@JackedUpLope]

Pretty sure that sicker piece off to side In the main build is supposed to be a game of Go. Around 16:15

[@sap1914]

We need more landscape, building, house or temple sets/ we have so many mechs, dragons, and such but so little set that can create a scene or to play with/ will also be great for display

[@craftmastr]

I absolutely love how each section can be on their own. I can definitely add these sections to my small Ninjago City display (I don't have the real Ninjago City sets, so I have smol lil builds to act as shops)

[@SuperSecretBricks]

Sounds like the MK team are going to embark on a time traveling adventure into the past! I'm wondering if big figs have been completely discontinued...

[@bluebelt1235]

Question is, will China allow it? I know that the show is animated by an Australian company, but for some reason the Chinese hate time travel shows

[@night-streakmedia3319]

They weren’t because they released a thanos this year for the third avengers final battle set

[@SuperSecretBricks]

@@night-streakmedia3319 yep I saw that with relief!

[@sugarandchaos]

"His face isn't as cursed as I thought it would be.." cracked me up.

[@Bass-mx3iw]

Joker sandy colors. And it’s weird that pigsy’s torso isn’t printed well because I believe the captain America in the 2023 quinn Jet has a dark blue face with a good whisking face print which I don’t understand. I might need to get the set to see if it is printed as well as the leak says

[@sugarandchaos]

I would love to see set 80043, the yellow tusk elephant. It looks like a really interesting build.

[@DiegoBenavidesGT]

That portrait sticker really reminds me of the photo Marty has with his siblings in Back to the Future, maybe it is also a reference to that and time traveling? 🤔

[@ClassicStudStudios]

Nope! Not Marty and Doc It’s Timmy and Cyrus 😉 members of the old time cruisers theme from 1996

[@dorkabudavari9963]

Hey i'm probably a bit late to this, but 14:29 printed tile is probably a reference to the show and to the original book Journey to the West. See, in the show MK is a big fan of monkey king and has a lot of collectable figurines and the printed tile looks like a Journey to the West figurine. You can see at the top of it there are the five pilgrims of the book (the monk traveling on the horse), and the collectable figure is the horse which could be referencing either Mei or her ancestor Ao Lie, who was the dragon companion who was turned into a horse in the book But thats just what I think, really nice review, its amazing how knowledgeable you are with the different lego pieces, love watching your reviews.

[@bricktopian]

that bunny falling down the hole sticker would be perfect for my Matrix MOC! Also, do you have the monkie kid temple of airjitzu? Wondered how this compares to that? Plus do you think this works with other rustic lego sets well like the Medieval Blacksmith etc?

[@PriestessOfSlaanesh]

One of the best looking Lego-Sets ever made imo. Got it allrdy (and the whole MK Wave). Probably one of my most favorite sets ever. Nr. 1 will always be the first big Ninjago City... but MK has alot of fantastic sets and i rly enjoy the MK Show

[@nealdutta6835]

Thanks for doing this😊

[@loicbosman4739]

the set does provide extra pieces for the staff, the red candlesticks on the side of the shrine. It only makes sense since Monkie Kid sets are often providing weapon storage and extra parts

[@mattstrott753]

Great review and awesome set. I'll be buying day one! The city is still my favorite play set but this is a very close 2nd

[@raumanu1001]

I think the weird build you said was a metal detector, might be some sort of instrument, the sticker above looks like guitar chords?

[@kalanilugosi393]

The build you referred to as a metal detector is actually a Chinese stringed instrument called the ErHu. Also the Harry Potter wand goes with it too.

[@Ty_Malo]

Thinking of using this for a ninja go base lol

[@SBS-qb1un]

for sure

[@AkaAkoVT]

I feel like this continues the Monkie Kid theme of "huh, they actually looker better in person/on video than on the box" Which isn't a bad thing, it's just surprising :D

[@siddy-v]

At 16:14, I believe it is supposed to be a checkers board

[@VampguyN85]

I was thinking the game GO. Because of the black and white color. But I could be wrong. Or Othello.

[@themaskedraff]

the eagle looks so good in the show but damn, not so much here

[@Regeor]

Maybe this season is a prequel or something, that would explain Moe being a kitten who hasn’t grown a mohawk yet, probably the same thing with Sandy as well

[@lordprecliktwo7332]

14:13 Its not metal detector but The erhu--)it's a Chinese two-stringed bowed musical instrument, more specifically a spike fiddle, which may also be called a Southern Fiddle, and is sometimes known in the Western world as the Chinese violin or a Chinese two-stringed fiddle. Btw i'm not Asian or anything but i Heard about them

[@Cookie-3sr]

I wish they made a big build for pang cause the azure lion and great tusk both got mechs why can he have one it would look so cool

[@LeagueofJay137]

Apparently the golden weapons are more accurate to the show, Ninjago should do the same. If the staff here can have printing, then Wu's staff should have also

[@JPSuper-DudeTH]

Where am I able to watch monkie kid season three?

[@Penxa.]

I really didn’t understood the whole monkey kid theme before this video. I really like your videos bricks by mind but i never understood how can a lego ninjago fan like a theme which is basicly the enemy of ninjago and tries to replace it. But now I understand that this is a fun them which is a fantasy theme that I can really enjoy if i dig myself into the sets and into the whole world of monkey kid. 🐵

[@Penxa.]

BTW your videos are SOOO good. Keep up the good content because every video is a work of art. (Can’t wait the new ninjago set reviews)

[@shqip_sumejja]

Bro is the ultimate Ninjago Stan 🗿

[@harithzapata3688]

I think the build you said looks like a metal detector is mean to be a Chinese 2 string violin fiddle

[@chilflow]

Masters of brickjitsu just posted a video of mk combi mech, also when are you going to review ninjago

[@SBS-qb1un]

I will get this set

[@thisthat2554]

this set somehow reminds me of chima

[@jack311y]

1:30 Is this implying you’ve seen Monkie Kid Season 3? And are we going to get to hear your thoughts on it in the future?

[@batholomewugwu1046]

I see they use nya's face for lea.

[@purplefern6010]

Weird build -- looks to be some kind of Karaoke machine. Maybe a weird shaped mic or a camera of some kind. Printed piece -- looks like a game board to me. Probably supposed to be Chinese Checkers if I were to randomly guess (though I don't know much about that game.)

[@Paper_Jam200]

I thought his name was the golden peng???

[@landiemoonkurshey5468]

Why i think is that they we're send to the journey to the west time like to the past and that but just maybe mei and mk and the other ones are like they ancestors

[@salsa2998]

16:19 I think thats connect five a chinese game

[@bluebelt1235]

Who’s the new girl in the set? A possible Love interest for MK perhaps?

[@snapbaxtoytalk]

She has the same name as Lee from the Pigsy's Noodle Tank set, so I assume she's the same person, or maybe an ancestor if time travel is a theme in season 4

[@yueyang1763]

sad no ninjago

[@BricksByMind]

I’ll have those up as soon as I’m allowed to post them

[@Chillz011]

[@barbaralis7333]

This is a comment

[@orktime]

First!

[@brandonwright1338]

@Bricks_By_Mind this set is trying to represent the past. Which would explain why Moe is a kitten and Sandy doesn't have his mohawk yet. :T
