Erlang Shen's Celestial Mech (LEGO 80065)

About this set

LEGO 80065 Erlang Shen Mech sits in the Monkie Kid line with 806 pieces and a 3/5 difficulty, a good step up for builders who have already handled a few mid-size sets and want a taller mech project. The finished model is a large golden mech, coloured in gold, white, black and red, with beast-head ornaments on the shoulders, a black cape on the back and a long golden staff in hand, reading more like a mythic general than a sci-fi machine. The box carries the LEGO logo, the Monkie Kid name and the 80065 code. Build the torso and shoulder ornaments first and check symmetry before attaching the arms, then add the staff and cape last so the model does not tip while you work. The set also includes a small flyer and several minifigures; once built, line the flyer up against the mech to judge scale, then place the figures. At 3/5 the build is substantial but not tricky, a fit for anyone who likes gold display mechs and a few evenings of clutch work.
