REVIEW: 6476261 Monkie Kid 5th Anniversary Cake

[Pchan1983]

Here is my review on LEGO Monkie Kid 6476261 Monkie Kid 5th Anniversary Cake:

THE GOOD:

• Awesome 5th Anniversary Monkey King minifigure.
• Also a 5th Anniversary exclusive printed tile.
• The cake consists of the full Monkie Kid Team. 

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Availability is basically, unknown at this point.

Given the uncertainty on this set availability,  I decided to buy this off Bricklink from a seller in Macau.  It took a while but finally arrived, and it did not disappoint.  As the main driver for me is the exclusive minifigure and print, I'm very happy with the minifigure.  This Monkey King features an exclusive head with the iconic 5th anniversary glassed, the 2nd face is also exclusive to this one with an expression looking like he is blowing some candles.   The torso and legs are reused though.  I'm glad that this set has no stickers, which brought us the exclusive printed tile of the 5th anniversary logo which is done brilliantly.   However, I was very satisfied with this set not just because the parts I'm looking for but this small birthday cake build is actually pretty good.  And if you love the Monkie Kid theme, you will love the look of it as it features brick built head of all 6 members of the Monkie Kid squad.  This makes it a truely unique set.  The only problem is this set is extremely hard to find!  I have not heard anything about availability outside China.  While the price I paid is somewhat affordable but combined with shipping, it's a hefty price I have to pay.  Although the exclusive parts are totally worth it given I love the theme.  Let's hope cool set like this will be available more widely.

I cannot believe it has already been almost five years since Monkie Kid theme began. And yet I am to purchase a single set from it. 

 

Anyhow, a good review!

Thanks.  There are some great sets from Monkie Kid.  The Heavenly Realms and Flower Fruits Mountain are the top two and both are great even say using it for non Monkie Kid purposes

I agree. Alas, these sets are a rare find in Europe due to their exclusivity. I imagine there is a similar issue in New Zealand.
