Lunar New Year Ice Festival Reviews
Jays Brick Blog
“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. The set also comes with the Year of the Tiger Zodiac minifigure! I am most... More 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.”
Brick Fanatics
“80109 Lunar New Year Ice Festival recreates an ice rink, and includes several ice skaters to enjoy it. The rink appears to be formed using several 6×6 tiles in a new opalescent version. The LEGO version is appropriately depicted behind a large pile of golden objects. It... More follows sets like 80024 The Legendary Flower Fruit Mountain, which take a deep dive into Chinese mythology.”
