Grandmother Reviews
Review for LEGO set 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner from Jays Brick Blog
“Yes, I get appealing to the Chinese market by releasing sets exclusively for the market, but I think mass-producing a set as great as this and distributing globally would've honoured the Chinese even more. That said, this set is almost perfect, from a design standpoint, but... More also from a cultural appreciation standpoint. This little LEGO take on the most important season in Chinese culture is poignant and so well thought out, but the reality that most of you reading might not be able to own the set makes it necessary to dock off a point from the score. 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner is beautiful and thoughtful, with an amazing family of minifigures, all contained in a fun little build with tons of cultural significance.”
