Exo-Force Vibes... LEGO Mei's Dragon Mech - Monkie Kid Set 80053 REVIEW!

[@savcris08]

Monkie Kid is flying under the radar considering the pieces and designs the sets within the series have

[@squishyazalea9970]

Its probably cause you cant watch the show outside of china (officially) and you can only get the sets directly from lego website

[@klaykid117]

It doesn't help that they always seem more expensive based on price to part ratio compared to other sets

[@nicholaslewis862]

We're kicking 2024 with one of the most technically impressive mechs in Lego's history, full of both clever and elegantly simple building techniques. The team have clearly taken lessons from Jay's Titan Mech, the Samurai X Mech, and Zane's Titan Mech. A new golden age of Lego mechs is upon us! I look forward to all the new forms the designers come up with in the years to come. I'm so glad the designers feel confident enough in their designs to reintroduce bendable knees. I wonder what innovations they have in store for us in the future... As for this mech, I love that it comes with a hangar side build. When I was younger, I enjoyed coming up with plots that involved the characters when they were resting between battles, or equipping the mech with extra weapons before a big fight. Good stuff all round. Thanks for the review, Duckbricks!

[@Alex-zi1nb]

really dope they have the whole repair station towers instead of just a mech. adds so much awesome play interaction and imagination

[@gianvankleij7134]

Already built it, i love this one, one of the best mechs ever for me. I was surprised nobody got all the MK sets in december for review. Finaly someone sharing their own thoughts.

[@mpp8042]

As it happens, I'm OBSESSED with Mei's sets. The theme, the color scheme, the energy. Snap purchase. :)

[@chandlereverhart7339]

I’m so glad that you reviewed this set. I was so worried none of the major LEGO review channels were going to review the new wave of Monkie Kid. Can’t wait to see more!

[@ianthurstan]

Picked this up at the Lego store in Manchester in the UK. So great to see the Monkie Kid line still in some physical UK stores (although such a small section next to Ninjago). Loved the build process of this mech, everything felt so sturdy and secure during the build and the articulation is great. Love the workshop side build aswell, adds some real value to storytelling and gives me Eva, exo force, and gunbuster vibes 👌🔥

[@senittoaoflightning4404]

Lucky. Over here in Germany there is a single store that sells the Monkie Kid sets, and it is way to far away from where I live. At least the online store sells them.

[@Bionickpunk]

And some silly people said they couldnt do knees anymore, but sets like these keep proving them wrong.

[@bazc9097]

I live in the UK, I just had to have this after getting Mei's Dragon, I ordered this as soon as I could and it arrived yesterday, I just love the colours and the overall look of this mech, it's got to one of the best Lego Mechs so far, I've started my new year with a Lego revival after I stopped buying Lego sets about three years ago, I joined Lego's site on boxing day and ordered myself some amazing Lego sets (Viking Village, Mei's dragon, Mei's Mech and the Auspicious dragon) and can't wait to get building again!

[@ComicBoy750]

I love this set so much! I got this day 1 & I’m currently building now! I definitely agree with the comment about the helmet. I really wish Lego would give us a 3rd helmet for Mei because her 2 other versions with the helmet are my favorite versions of the character. I feel like the value is definitely there. While a $10 discount would be nice, it’s not that crazy compared to Mei’s Guardian Dragon from last summer that was a shocking $25 cheaper in Europe than in the USA. If you’re already a fan of Mei or of large scale Titan mechs I definitely recommend picking this one up!

[@between2dimensions]

Okay....I love this mech and I'm not a mech person! Really love monkie kid, been looking for a review on this thing for awhile, Thanks for reviewing it!

[@MonkieWithAKeyboard]

Im mostly hyped to see this beauty in the show. Mk and Mei back to back fighting in mechs together will be peak fiction.

[@ahchiu9]

Knees! Mei really gets a lot of banger sets

[@niklasloesing495]

First english review on YT! Good Job, Chris.

[@gritfiend]

Wish the MK mech line was cheaper overall since these really are some of the best sets lego has produced

[@Bionickpunk]

Could have lived without the yellow column construction just to have a cheaper set.

[@andreazanchi8979]

Exo Force... My favourite theme. I miss so, so much. I hope for the future..

[@orcas99]

Boy have I been waiting for this one!

[@kelo3801]

Definitely exit force vibez! I got 2 (4 now). I would agree on the price as well. Keep up the awesome videos!

[@BrickMenyce]

Crazy I was looking for a review since my order got delayed. This was a top 5 for me during all the leaks.

[@noobpoob3889]

All right, I need it! Perfect for my Ninjago scale mech collection! Will look great next to Jay's titan

[@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369]

It does have exoforce robot arms as fingers and horns as well!

[@nicholaslewis862]

I would love to see a comparison video of all the MK mechs, along with the newer Ninjago mechs. a size comparison of all these different builds would be great.

[@asciiangel7583]

i tried gundams but now that lego is so good with it i’m just a lego mech guy. knees make it way better, i think im gona take apart zane’s mech when i get this

[@deang5386]

I'm excited to get this set to go next to Jay's Titan mech which I got last year.

[@ThatTataku]

I love this set! not gonna do the same mistake as last time to wait to get it

[@Mistawaffle]

No joke This looks like an anime style bionicle set

[@Terrance_the_ugandan_knuckles]

I NEED IT

[@jaydenklassen2567]

This mech looks like a more streamlined chappie

[@thrillhouse4151]

Hahaha, sad but true, $100 is an alright price for this considering how expensive this theme has been. I kinda like this more than the monkey king mecha. The repair bay structure thing is what does it for me, I’m curious to see how how it scales with my gunpla models.

[@Legendaryninja1234]

Cool video

[@Mate397]

Nani?! Knees on a Lego mecha?! Is that even legal? Joke aside, I do consider getting it.

[@bengianturco7926]

Another set that is giving me Exo-Force vibes is Kai’s Mech Jet from Prime Empire

[@batmenic365StopMotion]

THE MECH HAS KNEES AND ARTICULATED FEET

[@AdidinoLeDino]

18:02 XDDDD

[@melvinsantos9756]

Hey I wondering 💭 if you would be interested in maybe doing a video on how to get into collecting Lego . I’ve recently been interested in starting myself and I would love to hear some tips

[@Spectator49]

Was this set designed by Toothdominoes because I can see some very familiar building techniques and details.

[@toothdominoes-4978]

This one wasn’t me. It was my colleague Raf who actually worked on the original Exo Force! I consulted on this set and helped with the articulation.

[@Spectator49]

@@toothdominoes-4978 oh I thought this was you because of the knee joints and the 2 droid head pieces for detail on both sides.

[@Me-rn4sp]

I’m sorry but how is 75£ a very good price and 100$ isn’t when it’s almost the same price? 75£ =~ 96$

[@Bionickpunk]

Man, those 4 bucks...

[@mikegreen9177]

Your comments are spot on but just the mech for $65 is enough. It's another set (IE: Gringotts and Vaults) I would want but will never own due to price and side builds I don't care about or want.

[@captainiamtherum7659]

I actually disagree with you on the sword. That looks like a perfectly rational, sort of cutlass combined with gladius feel that I really enjoy, and it's the perfect size for a short sword for the mech. Also, I feel like it's not poseable enough to give it a greatsword; and besides, I feel like we have too many LEGO mechs with greatswords. A nice change of pace. Overall, I do quite like the mech. It looks phenomenal.

[@caidingwu]

bricks by mind didn't show us

[@hanzocloud]

I thought monkie kid was only sold in China and Asia markets

[@DuckBricks]

You can buy it online anywhere in the world! It is only sold at physical retail stores in Asian markets, and some European stores though

[@melvinsantos9756]

😎👍🏿

[@kirboioproductions74398]

It screams canceled ninjago Titan Mech set

[@deang5386]

I'm getting this mech to go with Jays Titan Mech. Since that repair bay looks like it can fit in 2 mechs.

[@Averynormalchickennugget]

How can you just walk backwards through a room that probably has over 1000000 lego pieces?

[@tombrown819]

Oh yes 70 thats so cheap

[@lucashe5804]

Hey duckbricks what is your fortnite username?

[@callumarcher2848]

If anyone is watching this now it’s on sale on Lego website
