LEGO Monkie Kid: first teaser before an official announcement of the new LEGO "house" range

In an alternate universe where all the products of the new LEGO Monkie Kid range have not leaked for a long time, we could pretend to wonder about the meaning of the nice teaser above posted on Twitter by Simon Lucas, Creative Director at LEGO who works notably on the Ninjago range.

In reality, we suspect that the announcement scheduled for May 15 relates to a new universe based on motorized vehicles and similar mechs what the Ninjago range already offers, all wrapped in a vaguely based context, such as this is the case for the animated series Dragon Ball Z, about the popular legend of the Monkey King. A big ladle of Ninjago, a touch of Nexo Knights, a pinch of Hidden Side, and we get this new LEGO theme with eight boxes bearing the references 80006 to 80013, the visuals of which you will find via the usual channels.

These eight new sets are also already offered for sale by a Hungarian brand which will not have waited for an announcement with great fanfare to put the products concerned online (80006 White Dragon Horse Bike, 80007 Iron Bull Tank, 80008 Monkie Kid's Cloud Jet, 80009 Pigsy's Food Truck, 80010 Demon Bull King, 80011 Red Son's Inferno Truck, 80012 Monkey King Warrior Mech, 80013 Monkie Kid's Team Secret HQ).

There are still some unanswered questions, they may be answered on May 15: Is this new universe destined to take over from the Ninjago range? Will we be entitled to an animated series to accompany these boxes and give a little context to the different characters delivered here? Will these sets be reserved for Asia? Wait and see.

Update : the teasing continues with the four posters below which feature different characters from the range with a lot of Chinese proverbs.
