Here is my review on LEGO Monkie Kid 80066 Mythical Creature Qilin: THE GOOD: The Qilin. is great. Many cool side builds. Excellent miifigures. THE NOT SO GOOD: Not cheap. Wasn't in the plan to buy this one but needed a set to reach a GWP threshold last month and here we are, what a nice surprise. I have to admit, there are better sets in the theme but coming in with no expectation at all, the build and the Qilin itself has quite a few thing to praise about. First, the building experience, it may due to the fact I mostly build buildings, I did enjoy it quite well. Especially the outer details and the head has been the most fun to build. There are some interesting use of parts too. The finished the Qilin is slightly smaller than expected but still decent size to look lively. I really the use of flames around the legs which made it look more authentic. It has plenty of movements to allow great posing although the legs joint is more stationary but I think it's needed for stability. Now the side builds do not disappoint, the Pigsy's dumpling cart is brilliant and can be placed in any lego city. The hover craft is simple but integrate with the Qilin very well as a saddle. I also like how the designers came up with yet another unique build from flying cloud. Just like other Monkie Kid's sets, this one also comes with excellent minifigures. I also noticed they use a different hair piece for Sandy instead of usual mohawk. Yes the set is not cheap just like other monkie kid set, but I mean nowadays which LEGO doesn't feel expensive? Put that a side, it's a decent set that I would definitely recommend if you like asian cultures.
