Lunar New Year Traditions Reviews
Jays Brick Blog
“80108 Lunar New Year Traditions is a really neat vignette-style build, with different modules that are inspired by LEGO Minifigure Habitats. Each module captures different Chinese New Year traditions, cleaning the house, visiting grandparents, going to the shops, and in... More particular, a module contains the Chinese God of Prosperity minifigure, complete with a red packet, and gold ingot cleverly made out of hotdog buns.”
Brick Fanatics
“Coinage in LEGO form is represented by either bespoke pieces or gold-coloured generic ones. These new printed tiles elegantly straddle those two ideas. The tiles appear to represent cash, a type of coin first used in the fourth century. The square hole and additional details... More resemble real-world examples, making these highly desirable to LEGO collectors. Four can be seen in the above image, though a spare piece will hopefully be included as well.”
