The City of Lanterns Reviews
Jays Brick Blog
“Out of the 2022 Monkie Kid Wave, there is one standout set – 80036 The City of Lanterns, which is surprisingly cost-effective, and features a multi-level Monkie Kid city, that’s reminiscent of Ninjago City. 80036 City of Lanterns is a sprawling dense Monkie Kid metropolis,... More featuring a LEGO toy shop, hotel, Speedy Panda store, 2 restaurants, karaoke booth, bubble tea café and a rapid transit train and track that weaves its way around the city.”
The Brothers Brick
“If you are a fan of the Monkie Kid theme, or enjoy building and playing with modular sets, then I would highly recommend picking this set up. While the building techniques are not particularly ground-breaking, there is plenty of part usage that should inspire and delight... More builders of all experience levels, and the detachable aspect adds even more play value, as you could add on more buildings in the same style to create your own Monkie Kid city scene.”
