njlegolover 42 Posted May 16 I'm a bit torn. Impressed with the drawing quality. Ok w/ voiceover (always prefer sub but believe not the original audience). Eh about the story line. Not seeing much discussion on the sets (unless someone can direct me). Not sure how to view these as investments. I personally like the monkey king mech and will probably purchase but the starting price seems a bit high. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fourkidsbuilding 80 Posted May 17 The big mech and the headquarters look promising. I guess it all depends on if the show is a hit or not... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Struikrover3 8 Posted May 17 (edited) Not sure about this range, looks like a mix of Ninjago, hidden side and overwach. Think aim would be to get more ground in China, d2c might help them as they don't have to deal with local retailers. Maybe also cannibalizing ninjago on the long term, as this series runs for ages? Anyway think most of the sets dont have new great concepts. Also lego d2c is not really known for good discount. Maybe will stock up on the mech if there will be a good discount. Overall don't really believe in this. Edited May 17 by Struikrover3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
s2k 29 Posted May 20 (edited) Well, America, we had a hell of a run. Get use to the new reality of China being the super power. The means of production are all geared to feed this new beast. It starts with our toys and God knows what will come next... Edited May 20 by s2k Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why cant these just be looked at as cool LEGO sets? If these were still region locked, the conversation would be a lot different. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can only imagine if this whole theme wasn't open to buyers in the U.S. As soon as there is a cool $99+ GWP, I'm picking up the mech for a personal build.

superlegolover 530 Posted May 20 mech looks pretty cool, as well as the monkey king minifig. Will pick one up when there is a decent promo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I will be going with safer bets. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
