Chang'e Moon Cake Factory

"The Chang'e Moon Cake Factory is one of the most imaginative sets in the Monkie Kid line, earning a BrickScore of 81.9 on the strength of its absurdly creative design, outstanding minifigures, and a bunny mech that reviewers called a genuine highlight. It is now retired, and collectors seeking its exclusive Chang'e and Pigsy figures will need to look to the aftermarket."

The Chang'e Moon Cake Factory earned a BrickScore of 81.9 and a Highly Recommended verdict, with reviewers celebrating its wildly imaginative combination of Chinese folklore, lunar mythology, a moon cake factory production line, and a giant bunny mech with guns for arms. Design aesthetics led the aspect consensus at 85.9, followed by strong display value at 81.6 and excellent minifigure quality at 82.7. Owner data is limited to 7 LEGO.com ratings (88% would recommend), which aligns with the expert enthusiasm but is too thin to weigh heavily against the detailed critical reviews.

Where they split: JANG recommended waiting for a sale at $70 USD while Tiago Catarino and the Brickset reviewer issued straight buy recommendations, reflecting a real split on whether the US price is acceptable. One LEGO.com owner gave a 40 out of 100 verdict, calling the design ridiculous and ugly, which stands in sharp contrast to the prevailing enthusiasm. The 88% would-recommend LEGO signal and the overall high consensus among detailed reviewers outweigh this outlier, but the US pricing critique is consistent across multiple reviewers.
