I've been trying to get my hands on the 80107 Spring Lantern Festival, but it is rare and according to the official site, its sold out. Expand I don’t. Have that one sadly! It looks amazing. But there is a new set “Tranquil Garden” avaialbe, even without minifigures included. Quote

I’m not sure if Buddhism is allowed since it’s religious? Expand oh me too, but I think since it falls under religion then TLG won't touch it Quote

We had street fair set in 2020, yet that temple was not enclosed, which it’s a big shame. I don’t know how Lego could do a non-religious/Buddhist modular temple set… Quote

So Lego could make a building that looks like a temple but actually for a different purpose - dining/ gathering hall. On 10/18/2023 at 1:32 AM, Lion King said: Yup.

Also, a Lunar New Year celebration at a Buddhist temple would be a respectful portrayal of the religion/culture in-question, so I doubt that anyone would genuinely be offended by it. Quote

Expand I think you made a good oint. Also, I may misremember but I think there was Buddha in Journey to the West so Buddha may show up in Monkie Kid theme. Edited October 18, 2023 by Lion King Quote

So we kinda already have one, but not ‘the Buddha’. Quote
Lion King Posted October 23, 2023 Posted October 23, 2023 So China International Import Expo (CiiE) will take its place from Nov 5th to 10th this year. I’m pretty excited to see new Lunar New Year and Monkie Kid sets. Quote
Gnukan Posted November 1, 2023 Posted November 1, 2023 Exciting!! The Chinese New Year sets are always really good, even for someone like myself who don’t celebrate Chinese New Year! I hope it’s something to do with food. I missed out on the dinner set a couple of years back (I don’t think they sold it in the west?), although I was able to buy the printed food pieces from ‘bricks and pieces’ surprisingly enough Quote

The Temple Fair and Lion dance sets were released worldwide in 2020. I love collecting minifigures so I’m going for sets that have minifigures rather than lame display like one that is released this year. Personally, I hope there would be a dragon dance set similiar to lion dance but longer . Quote

hikouki Posted November 3, 2023 Posted November 3, 2023 When they say "Chinese style building"...it is just so vague!!! Are they referring to a pagoda or temple-like architecture??? As much as I would very muck like for it to be a modular, I somehow doubt Lego would make one just like that Chinese restaurant MOC on Rebrickable. Hopefully I'm wrong - they have a CNY x Disney crossover this year. So perhaps CNY x modular might not be too far off. And to think about it more, the actual modular released early. So perhaps there is 'competition' in January? Speculating, just speculating. Quote

And spring lantern festival set fits nicely into modular city. it would be nice if a Lunar New Year modular is a 16x32 one since it’s $130. Oh and the modular building needs Asian architecture! It’s a long overdue… so it’s just my wishful thought. Quote

If they actually were to make a 16-wide CNY-inspired Modular, I would 100% buy it. (I could see it happening too, to appeal to anyone buying the Museum who doesn’t already have Assembly Square and thus will have their Modular street offset by half a baseplate.) Love that thought!

Lion King Posted November 4, 2023 Posted November 4, 2023 (edited) So…CIIE will begin tomorrow so let’s see if we could grab glimpse of Monkie Kid and Lunar New Year sets next weeek (Nov 5th - 10th). and I’m hoping we gonna get a panda mold…. Edited November 4, 2023 by Lion King Quote

Expand I would not be surprised if they did a panda after the bear mold, just with perhaps a different head? Cool if they did the panda sitting down. I'm interested if they will just reuse the dragon CMF mold or make an entirely new one for the CNY set! Quote
Kallego Posted November 6, 2023 Posted November 6, 2023 It's officiall. No 16*32 modular. But it's a really nice building. Sadly with stickers ( for the first time in cny sets?). http://brckmrg.de/80113-1 Quote
Westbrick Posted November 6, 2023 Posted November 6, 2023 The new 80113 Family Reunion Celebration looks lovely! Quote
