June 2020 – New LEGO Sets & Promotions

It looks like LEGO decided that June is all about cars! In the June LEGO Store Calendar they feature the recently released #10271 LEGO Creator Fiat 500, the #76895 LEGO Speed Champions Ferrari F8 Tributo, and the #42111 LEGO Technic Dom’s Dodge Charger. Even the freebie set this month is a super nice Hot Rod! Details all what’s new this month are listed below.

➡ FREE LEGO HOT ROD: The #40409 LEGO Creator Hot Rod is free with purchases of $85 or more until June 21st. This is a fantastic minifig-scale replica of the #5541 LEGO Model Team Blue Fury from 1995. This is a fantastic little set, especially for a freebie! This offer is valid on all purchases at official LEGO stores and the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO TECHNIC LAMBORGHINI NOW AVAILABLE: The #42115 LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sián FKP 37 is now available. We talked about this set previously (see press-release here: LEGO Technic Lamborghini Sian FKP 37 Coming!). Prices are as follows: US $379.99 – CA $489.99 – DE €379.99 – UK £349.99 – FR €379.99 – DK 2899DKK (Euro pricing varies by country). To purchase this set, visit the LEGO Technic section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO CREATOR HAUNTED HOUSE AVAILABLE: The #10273 LEGO Creator Expert Haunted House is now available for everyone, not just LEGO VIP members. This set combines the spookiness of a haunted house with an awesome fairground ride. Find it at the LEGO Creator Expect section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ NEW LEGO MINECRAFT SETS AVAILABLE: Two new LEGO Minecraft sets have been added to the collection; the #21161 LEGO Minecraft Crafting Box 3.0, and the #21163 LEGO Minecraft the Redstone Battle. You can find them both at the LEGO Minecraft section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ LEGO HARRY POTTER SETS AVAILABLE OUTSIDE THE U.S.: The new LEGO Harry Potter sets are available in select countries. In the U.S., the sets will be available on August 1st. You can check them out at the LEGO Harry Potter section of the Online LEGO Shop.

➡ OTHER LEGO SUMMER SETS: There are a number of LEGO sets coming this summer and already listed at the  under the coming soon section. This includes LEGO Super Heroes, LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Friends, LEGO Jurassic World, LEGO Hidden Side, and more, however no date has been given as far as their released. My guess is that they may be delayed due to the COVID-19 situation. However, you can already add them to your wanted list, so when they become available, you can purchase them at the Online LEGO Shop.

Also, as we discussed previously, (see links at the end of this post), many LEGO stores are now open or at least have curbside pickup available. Selection is limited and many restrictions have been put in place to keep visitors safe. If you have a LEGO store near you, I would suggest to give them a call to find out what are their current policies.

What do you think? What building projects are you working on this summer? Do you have any recently released favorite sets? Are you planning to get anything this month? Feel free to share your thoughts and discuss in the comment section below!

The LEGO Monkie Kid sets we talked about previously (see: LEGO Monkie Kid – A New Hero is Born…) have been available since the middle of May, and many LEGO fans already had a chance to give them a try. The sets are fresh, imaginative, fun, colorful, full of interesting play-features, and wonderfully designed minifigs. JANGBRiCKS has been on a marathon reviewing them all, so, if you would like to give the sets a closer look, I have included all of his reviews in the video-player below, along with a general overview.

The smallest of the sets is the #80006 LEGO Monkie Kid White Dragon Horse Bike with 259 pieces, and the price of $34.99. The bike has foldout flight-mode wing and stud-shooters, and the hideout prison has a fire gate and stud-shooters. Monkie Kid’s cloud board is also included. The four minifigs are Monkie Kid, Mei, Bob, and Snort. LEGO usually releases a few small sets so people can try out a new theme. Thus, it’s surprising that the smallest set in this collection is medium-range both in size and price. I guess LEGO was pretty confident that this theme will sell well and didn’t need entry-level models. I do hope that some smaller sets will be available in future waves. You can get the set at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #80007 LEGO Monkie Kid Iron Bull Tank comes with 430 pieces for $49.99. It features the badguys’ armored vehicle with some simple but neat play-features, including a six-stud rapid shooter, and an oil-barrel-launching function. Watch the video-review below to see how they work. The three minifigs are Monkie Kid, Grunt, and Roar, and the bigfig’s name is Sandy. This is a fun set that’s worth the price. You can purchase it at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #80008 LEGO Monkie Kid’s Cloud Jet includes 529 pieces, and the price is $59.99. It has a neat splitting function with the cockpit detaching and turning into a speed bike. The badguy has a buildable twin-fire jetpack and power glove. The four minifigs are Monkie Kid, Red Son, Growl, and Ai. I really like the color-scheme of this jet, and the bulkiness of the front. On the negative side, the back section of the jet is not very well developed. If you want to check it out, it’s available at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #80009 LEGO Monkie Kid Pigsy’s Food Truck is one of the most talked about sets in this collection. It comes with 832 pieces for $69.99. The fully equipped food truck is quite large, and it doubles as a secret command center. Both sides of the vehicle open, revealing a seemingly normal food truck on one side, and the other side hides a full command center. The hidden features are really fun! The pig-shaped sign on the roof doubles as a rapid shooter, and you also get two bikes for the badguys. The five minifigs are Monkie Kid, Pigsy, Snort, Grunt, and Uncle Qiao. It’s a pricey set, but with all the play-features it’s not a bad deal. Available at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #80010 LEGO Monkie Kid Demon Bull King comes with 1,051 pieces, and the price is $89.99. As you can see in the video-review below, this mech is massive. However, as usual with large and heavy LEGO mechs, it doesn’t have a whole lot of articulation. It does have a light-brick to illuminate the torso, stud-shooting cannons, a flamethrower, and a big axe. The three minifigs are the Monkie Kid, Pigsy, and Princess Iron Fan. The mech looks imposing, the colors are great, and the price/piece ratio is right, however you’re almost forced to buy one of the other sets to play out some real conflict. Available at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #80011 LEGO Monkie Kid Red Son’s Inferno Truck is one of the biggest sets in the collection with 1,111 pieces for the price of $119.99. The truck has an integrated and removable racecar, a 6-stud rapid shooter, and a winch to drag the exploding ATM out of the brick-built Speedy Panda store. Speaking of the store, it is one of the best parts of the set. The colors and details are so nice! Another nice addition is the little delivery tuk-tuk. And you also get seven minifigs; Monkie Kid, Red Son, Snort, Grunt, Roar, Mei, and Lee. There is a lot to like here! The set is available at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The #80012 LEGO Monkie Kid Monkey King Warrior Mech is another highlight of the collection. It comes with 1,629 pieces, and the price is $149.99. It’s the good guy counterpart and worthy opponent of the Demon Bull King. The mech looks beautiful on display with instantly recognizable features, a striking color-scheme, beautiful detailing, and futuristic play-features. Unfortunately, it has the same issues as the other big mech; not much articulation and lack of playability. There are also some smaller vignettes in the set. The little shop with an apartment above is especially nice. The six minifigs are Monkey King, Monkie Kid, Grow, General Ironclad, and two civilians. The set is available at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.

Now comes the biggest set! The #80013 LEGO Monkie Kid’s Team Secret HQ includes 1,959 pieces for $169.99. There is so much to see here, so make sure you check out the video-review below. The ship can open up and can be divided for easy access to the detailed living area, workshop, posable mech, and more. The crane on the deck can be used to grap the badguys’ stud-shooting assault boat, and Pigsy and Mei’s fun buildable water jets add to the battle play options. The minifigs include Monkie Kid, Pigsy, Mei, General Ironclad, Snort, Grunt, and Roar, plus big-fig Sandy, and Mo the cat. Available at the LEGO Monkie Kid section of the Online LEGO Shop.
