“For Brickheadz and those interested in Lunar New Year traditions, this year’s Lion Dance Guy is a fun little addition to the growing LEGO Chinese New Year set collection. Based on the traditional Chinese dance that you’ll often see (or hear first as they’re super loud!)... More during the Lunar New Year, or large celebrations like weddings, or openings of businesses, Lion Dances are a staple in most cultures within the Chinese diaspora.”
