In addition to these Chinese New Year sets. I am most in love with the large opalescent tiles used for the ice skating rink, and the adorable tiger cutouts, as well as the cart selling Roasted Chestnuts, a popular roadside delicacy in China and Asia. Here are more closeup photos of the set, via Wooden Duck which gives you a better look at the set. The set also comes with the Year of the Tiger Zodiac minifigure! Up next is 80109 Lunar New Year Ice Festival, which seems inspired by the Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival which features a really lovely festive scene, along with a multitude of characters.

It seems like LEGO has designed this to be a “build together” affair, with different instruction manuals for different segments of the build – great for families looking to build together! 80109 Lunar New Year Ice Festival Here’s a look at the box, and instructions. The middle module sees a traditional Chinese stall, selling toys and figurines on sticks, and the right module sees the family from 80101 Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner watching variety shows on TV, staying up late (the clock shows 11:59pm) as they await the New Year! The man is also seen holding a colourful feather duster. The girl looks like she’s cleaning their home, an important custom because you do not sweep on Chinese New Year, as you might sweep away your prosperity and good luck. I LOVE the little LEGO paper bag in this module!īottom Tier – on the right is the couple from 80107 Spring Lantern Festival, who again are in matching outfits. The right habitat is the Chinese New Year tradition of visiting grandparents, who will gift red packets filled with money to children, and the unmarried. Mandarins are significant because the Chinese word “kam” is a homonym for mandarin, and gold, so the act of giving mandarins as a gift is akin to giving gold to each other. Middle Tier – The left habitat sees preparation for Chinese New Year underway, with banners and sticker greetings being hung up on the entrances, as well as a mandarin tree. The minifigure depicted here is Caishen, the God of Money/Prosperity, and he is often worshipped in hopes that he’ll bless you with wealth in the new year. Top Tier – Chinese New Year is all about wishing wealth and prosperity to each other.
