It might be fun if this theme takes inspiration from Big trouble in little China too. Edited March 23, 2020 by Harkonen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted March 23, 2020 The guys over at stonewars.de have posted a new article about the theme and there are some quite interesting tidbits: https://www.stonewars.de/geruechte/lego-monkey-kid-asien-exklusiv/ apparently, the theme was conceived for the Asian market, which is why it wasn't shown at any of the toy fairs they'll still release it in the rest of the world, just as LEGO exclusives (at least based on their new rules introduced this year) there's going to be at least one Brickheadz set the official release is supposed to be May Well, that last point would explain why the minifig parts are leaking already Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, that's perfect! Then I won't get my hands on them. Worst idea ever, I thought Lego said they stopped with regional exclusives... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickJagger Posted March 23, 2020 Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't this the same approach they used with Vikings? It was a regional exclusive to Denmark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HalfBloodPrince Posted March 23, 2020 If these sets are lego store exclusives, I simply don’t see this theme selling well, oh and shouldn’t we already get set images if the sets release in May? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doclord Posted March 23, 2020 So it really is just Chinese Ninjago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harkonen Posted March 23, 2020 What if the theme got delayed due to the virus? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeriXeri Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) If the entire theme will end up exclusive , (read: Full Price) for a long time, certainly could drive me away from the theme. But I'm not in a huge hurry of buying new LEGO right now. Edited March 23, 2020 by TeriXeri Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pulp Detective Posted March 24, 2020 The mention of exclucivity puts a sour taste in my mouth.Sure aim it for the Asian market but release it non the less worldwide. I hope this theme comes out in May but with the virus raging Lego might delay the whole theme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fenghuang0296 Posted March 24, 2020 I reeeeeally hope this theme isn’t exclusive. If it is, then I just don’t see myself buying this. Especially because all the LEGO Stores are closed right now (though hopefully will be open again by May, admittedly). They did say no more exclusives. {groans} Well, at least this’ll lighten the load on my wallet. Hey, does anyone know whether shipments of LEGO to Australian stores come by boat or plane? I’m worried that the closure of the country will mean we don’t get the summer sets releasing in June for months . . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harkonen Posted March 24, 2020 I think now I will pass final judgement on the sets pictures. I hope the sets are good and then I will try to get them. Still the Ninjago summer wave with DnD and Creator Pirates ship are my priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lego David Posted March 24, 2020 12 hours ago, Lego-Freak said: they'll still release it in the rest of the world, just as LEGO exclusives (at least based on their new rules introduced this year) I don't think that's really the case. LEGO has said that they won't make any regional exclusive sets ever again, and the ones they did so far have been one or two sets at most... not an entire wave of sets. Giving a 8 sets wave a limited release would be a very foolish move by LEGO. After the Corona Virus crisis is over, I think Monkey Kid will most likely have a normal worldwide release.

Wait vikings was a regional exclusive? I got my hands on one way back in the day in the Netherlands? Odd.

Pulp Detective Posted March 25, 2020 Did yall notice how the pictures of the pig head and the MK figure vanished from instagram??While other leaks are still up.Lego really is trying to keep this theme a secret. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harkonen Posted March 26, 2020 A new demon minifig leaked on instagram. Or it's from Ninjago...not sure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
