Year of the Dragon Reviews
“As every year, the product will include a "red envelope" which will allow us to respect tradition: in Asia we offer money to our loved ones on the occasion of the New Year celebrations and you can therefore also comply with this custom. thanks to the envelope provided which... More is not red on the outside but whose interior is the traditional color. The box even allows you to personalize the thing with a label on which it is possible to indicate the name of the recipient and the origin of the gift. Only problem, the envelope being in the box, you will first have to open the set to deposit the money and offer everything afterwards. The flap packaging is well resealable, but there will always be the cut-out transparent sticker.”

“The dragon looks fantastic and features a massive burst of color and just looks adorable. I love that he’s also on a base with clouds, as opposed to the ground bases like previous LEGO Chinese Zodiac Animals – reflecting the mythical nature of the Dragon.”
