Earlier today, LEGO revealed Monkie Kid, a brand new theme based on the Chinese Monkey King fable. The new theme includes eight sets and an animated television series. Along with all the information about the new sets, LEGO also sent us a gallery of photos showing a behind-the-scenes look at the development process of the new product line. Familiar faces include LEGO designers Justin Ramsden (Hogwarts Castle, The Upside Down), Nick Vas (Ninjago City), Chris Perron (1989 Batmobile), Simon Lucas (Ninjago Movie), and more. As a refresher, here is a short trailer for the TV series announced along with the sets. (Full trailer can be viewed here.) During the Chinese launch event, LEGO showed a video highlighting the design process from creating the Monkie Kid theme to building the sets and testing them with kids. The following gallery comes from that video. LEGO also shared fact sheets about three of the...

The promotion for the LEGO City Beach Buggy (30369) polybag is now live on LEGO Shop@Home. You can get it for free with purchases of $40 or more from now until May 31.

The Lego HeroQuest is the latest project to achieve 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas. It is based on a popular board game from the 90s and it is a recreation of the original one within the 3,000 part limit. I’m not too familiar with the game but it does include a lot of minifigures to represent the characters. It now joins The Mountain Windmill and Community – Greendale Community College as the projects to reach the Second 2020 Review Stage.

Slovak site Svetmodelov.sk has posted more product listings for upcoming LEGO Super Mario theme. They are loosely translated so they aren’t very accurate. It looks like these are to customize the Mario device to other costumes that he has worn in the franchise. I’m curious to see if Flying Mario is Raccoon Mario or Cape Mario. As of now, we still haven’t seen much out of the theme but hopefully we get some more details soon. It was rumored that LEGO was to reveal more about it during San Diego Comic Con but we’ll see what happens now since SDCC moved to a virtual format for this year.

LEGO’s next promotion on LEGO Shop@Home starts tomorrow with the LEGO City Beach Buggy (30369) polybag. The promotion runs from May 18-31 and you can get it for free with purchases of $40 or more, while supplies last. The polybag has 45 pieces and it features a basic orange buggy along with a surfer minifigure. Note that the torso for the minifig is quite rare at this time and can only be found in one other set which is the Minifigure Set Summer Celebration (40344). That set is now retired so this polybag is the only to get the torso design unless you go do Bricks & Pieces or on the secondary market. One other part to highlight is the teal surfboard. I believe this polybag is also available at Walmart for about $5 and some locations even have it on sale for 20% off. Honestly, I don’t think it warrants...
