The last of the initial wave of LEGO Monkie Kid sets I want to take a look at is Monkie Kid’s Team Secret HQ (80013). It is 1,959 pieces and retails for $169.99. Minifigures The set contains six minifigures, Monkie Kid, Mei, Pigsy, General Ironclad, Grunt, Roar, and Snort as well as a bigfig of Sandy. Monkie Kid is in his usual orange and red outfit. The back of the jacket shows the Monkey King with a huge grin while the legs are dual molded for his sneakers. There are some teal goggles that go around his neck. He has a double-sided head with a smirk on one side and an angry expression on the other. His accessory is his staff. Mei is in her green and white dragon outfit which has printing of the dragon going around the torso and legs. Her helmet is also printed with the dragon head...

Yesterday’s release of the designer video for the LEGO Ideas Medieval Blacksmith (21325) may have also teased a future gift with purchase item. About 1:10 into the video when LEGO designer Wes Talbott reaches up to the cabinet to get the set, the right side of it has a small castle build on top of some storage bricks. A few keen eyed readers have already suggest that this little build could be a GWP next month when the Medieval Blacksmith is released. We all know LEGO likes to do teasers for upcoming products but there hasn’t been any updates from LEGO on upcoming promotions so we’ll have to wait for the LEGO Store Calendar to be published online to see whether or not it will be a GWP. Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it. Original linkOriginal author: Allen "Tormentalous" Tran
