80012 - Monkey King Warrior Mech is the winner for me

Just wish it wasn't $150 RRP

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.

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...

Since when did the COVID thread open back up??

Why cant these just be looked at as cool LEGO sets? If these were still region locked, the conversation would be a lot different.

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. 

mech looks pretty cool, as well as the monkey king minifig. Will pick one up when there is a decent promo

Yeah, the newer adaptations of Monkey King use stylized sticks as weapon

whereas the older ones just use regular ol stick(s)

hard pass

Ah now i know: I have been in Vietnam several years ago and that series was everywhere 24/7, if its the same in china, that could be a wise Investment for the long run, but its a gamble. I think I will be going with safer bets.

I think it will bomb hard , but I’m still getting one each of those mechs. 👍

Yep just saw that 

Saw what?

Anyone have any idea on if this line will make it to online or in stores in the states?  Is this exclusive to the Asian Market in stores?  Is this online only.  Confused and intrigued at the same time.

not regional...has been available at US LEGO Shop at Home since the release...occasional TOOS on the main mech set, but otherwise seems to be Ninjago-esque in many ways 

What a bunch of crap IMO. Kids probably will love it though.

So... Can I get some of you heavy hitters; thoughts on this theme if you are willing to share?

The first wave is retiring, they've been on discount at my area LEGO store for 20% off. The little sets seem to have sold out over the last month or so, the big sets are still hanging around.

Is anyone going deep on these at this, or any other pricing? Will they be able to be sold on AMAZON at any point?

Any thoughts at all? Anyone? Buehler?

Yawn. Maybe good, maybe not...I haven't bought a single one and don't see that changing. There are much better sets to spend money on.

I'm a big fan of the Warrior Mech and kinda like the Demon Bull King.  Warrior Mech has been on and off backorder on Lego, and stays well over retail on Ebay.

Official pics comes out xmas day.

That look insane and expensive. So we’re sure the line is launching in the US?
