Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how professional JANG is with his reviews? He gives good disclaimers about his knowledge of the topic surrounding a set, he reviews each set objectively, and the overall quality of all of his videos are so great! Thank you JANG!
Hahaha especially in cases like at 17:45 that was the greatest thing I could've imagined him saying there. My parents showed me the clip of that years ago. Didn't occur to me when I saw it but when he said it I couldn't have agreed more.
The vinyl signs around the sets represent riddles which are part of a game, traditionally played during the lunar new year period Here's a rough translation of what's on these signs First set of Signs: sweet white plum --> yuanxiao/tangyuan, or glutinous rice balls which have sweet fillings (sesame, peanut, red bean) Second Set: something that's round sometimes, and curved other times--> the moon Third Set: moon horned, eats grass --> a bull/ox
@@joemann7353 was about to comment the same thing! The ninjago and monkie kid recent sets have been really amazing. A few Monkie kid sets seemed overpriced but build wise these are all fantastic
The banners are actually quizzes or in Chinese, 猜谜语. It is kind of a tradition, where you put the question or clue in front, then the answer behind, which you then hang below a lantern. This is usually done as a game at festivals or gatherings. The specific (direct) translations for these from left to right are: White sugar lime - Yuan Xiao (the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, celebrated by some groups of Chinese as a big day) (Why is this the answer, it could be because in ancient times, tang yuan 汤圆, a dish for another festival, was called yuan xiao 元宵, the dish was starch balls, stuffed with sugar or other fillings, rolled into the size of a small lime, and served in a sugary soup, hence white sugar lime. Quite the vague connection as virtually no one knows this, even me as a Chinese) Sometime round, sometimes curved - Moon (obviously) Moon shaped horn, eats grass - Cow/Ox (Year of the Ox) edit-answer for quiz 1
I feel the first one could be translated as "White Sugar Plum". The answer for it is Yuan Xiao - the food, not the 15th day of Chinese New Year. The day is Yuan Xiao Festival. The way to make Yuan Xiao is prepare the stuffing first (normally is smashed black sesame with sugar) , dip with water, then roll them into ball shape covered with sticky rice powder. I think it's kind like the plum with sugar covering. Both white, sweet and about the same size.
Your point about Lego as an escape for adults, especially during hard times, is terrific. It is a wholesome reminder of the joy and simplicity of childhood. So yes, more of this please. Green parks and escapes to nature (*the recent Treehouse Creator set comes to mind) are going to bring in more AFOLS over time. That said, Lego must continue to focus on young children and continue to make excellent sets for the kids... My children enjoy their sets (Jurassic World/Dinos, Mario, Friends, Disney Princess, Star Wars, and Batman/Spider-Man). And as a big bonus, I get to enjoy the Lego Batman and Star Wars sets some too :-)
-The bunny toy is based off an albino bunny and they legitimately have red eyes. -I have to say that I love the blue sweater torso! It's now one of my favorite minifig torsos ever! -I disagree with JANG, I personally do see $120 worth of stuff.
Bro you have no idea how much happiness your videos have brought me. I used to watch your vids when i was younger but forgot about Lego altogether. A year ago I picked up Legos again and coincidentally chanced upon your channel again, and id like to say thank you for reigniting my passion for lego, great video!!!
This set work well as a chinese place in any city, as a great corner unit and a phenomenal park. Also fun fact, I was born on the year of the ox so this set is even more special to me.
I totally agree. More sets like this. I’d like some just on the half base plate like the little town gardens we have in central London (eg the garden in Notting Hill they go into at night). They would works so well with modulars.
This set is nothing short of beautiful in my opinion. The amount of detail in this relatively small model is unrivaled, I would love to build this for myself.
My wife is Chinese so my 5yo son is Eurasian. When they started making these sets it was a dream come true. He now gets to celebrate both Christmas and CNY, I’m quite jealous of his childhood.
My husband was brought up in Taiwan, so we were bringing the kids up to speak Chinese and get a real sense of the culture. It has always been a huge part of my upbringing to, so I totally get what you mean. These kids are very lucky!
I just ordered this set literally minutes ago after hearing it’s going to be gone soon, and I’m so excited after watching this review. It is so detailed and beautiful. Being Chinese myself this set holds a special place in my heart and I plan on building it during spring lantern celebration in feb of 2022.
That’s because ancient China goes all the way to modern day Vietnam at one point in history. If you’ve played the Vietnamese campaign in Ages Of Empire 2 you’d know it.
This set is amazing! The banners are riddles and their corresponding answers. The long banner poses the riddle and the short banner shows the answer. I love how much detail and care Lego took in making these. From left to right, the riddles are: 1. Sugar plums 2. Sometimes it's round, sometimes it's curved 3. Has the horns of a slim moon, eats green grass Answers: 1. Tangyuan (a Chinese dessert symbolising family) 2. The moon 3. A cow
In my opinion, one of the main benefits of this set is the fact that it can be integrated both in a city with modular sized buildings, as well as in cities with LEGO city and/or creator 3 in 1 buildings. This already makes it very usefull, as it does not require hundreds of €/$ to be invested in LEGO for it to look nice. Even so, I do agree on the price, which could have been a bit lower, although the plethora of printed pieces most likely made up an important part of this increase to €109 (Dutch prices) or $120. Considering the alternative of having to place stickers on a lot of transparent pieces, I was willing to pay the premium, although cheaper LEGO is always better.
From what I know the red paper piece that is hanging on the sidewalk is some sort of riddle. The first piece gives the readers or passerby a hint. For example the one in the middle says: sometimes it's rounded and sometimes it's crescent in shape. The piece behind reveals the answer and it's the moon. Hope that help a tiny bit
Omer Hollander I wonder if that varies from set to set or if it just shows up more on video, in any case the difference seems far more subtle on my own set. It’s still different for sure, but nowhere near as noticeable.
Yeah something about the lighting makes it much more pronounced on camera, which is unusual (it's often the other way around). In person right here and now, I can see the difference if I look up close & carefully, but I can just as easily not notice it.
@@jadendafinger I bet you'll love the dolphin with the main build of the new Creator surfer beach house. The eye socket pieces are a different shade of blue from the rest of the animal.
I love the build of this set and it looks fabulous! However just a quick FYI regarding the minifigure guy with the camera in the sweater with arm printing, that torso was introduced in the Winter Snowball Fight vignette set if you want to get it for cheap. @17:45, love the Monty Python reference!
I loved building this, it was such a calm relaxing time. Watching how it built up layer by layer was great and I love how the architecture has been realised. The minifigs are also great fun and you can tell so many stories with them. Beautiful set.
This set is beautiful! It looks amazing from every angle and the more I look at it, the more I appreciate the little details! I really love that this can be reconfigured and fits in with Modulars and Ninjago City! The fish prints are also amazing! Lego did a really great job with this set! Thanks for another great review Jang!
If there was just a bit more built up foliage around it would be a perfect set to me. I absolutely love all the little details in this set though. From the printed Koi fish tiles, to the pagoda build, this set shows a lot of care and attention to detail.
This globe has so many great pleasant places, Lego could abstract to escape for a while : world wide - parks, zoos, landscapes, country-specific buildings, plantations, scenes, railroad stations, ..
Great review Jang! These Lunar New Year sets are one of my favorite themes from LEGO and some of the best looking and detailed sets they have overall. I hope they continue for many years to come. I too would love more parks and nature themed builds to go along with structure builds.
JANG you are the Professor in Lego! Thank you for your review. I used to not having any interest in Chinese New Year sets but I think this set is really really cool.
I love your reviews. You have an amazing voice, you're easy to listen to, you speak very clearly, you are very thorough and take a lot of things into consideration when you evaluate each set and i really appreciate that. You have been my favorite lego reviewer for years. Keep up the good work!
I'm not really into these lunar new year sets that they're doing, but they're really good looking sets. Whenever i see one, i can't stop thinking of Chunan from sonic unleashed because of there look and for £90, i may get this one or the other one for Christmas.
Nice Monty Python and the Holy Grail reference Jang. Thinking the same thing when I saw those red rabbit eyes! "Well, that's no ordinary rabbit! That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!"
This set really caught my eye as soon as it was released and I'm really looking forward to building it and looking to incorporate it with the Ninjago City and Garden
I'd love if the next modular building was a Chinese restaurant or like a little Sushi Bar to blend in nicely with the New Year/ Spring Lantern Festival sets.
What I really liked when building this, is that I'd never be able to do this myself. To me anyway, it's very complex in its design, especially the layout of the floor. Big up Lego designers!
Love this set. I found it works well when incorporating it with the Bonsai set to replace the Ox lantern/statue. It provides the park with more foliage and colour.
I would LOVE to see LEGO do a "normal" western city park of this size and level of detail! Would pick that up in a heartbeat as I'm sure would many, many others.
I would love to see this set attached to / between some modulars :) Didn't expect this set would have a modular capacity, its interesting to see them integrating more with the creator expert line
As said in the review looks like a great set for people that already have a modular city layout already. I definitely agree Lego need to make more "park style" sets as well.
The 3 banners are Chinese riddles; the one in front is the riddle, the one behind is the answer: Riddle 1: 白糖梅子 Sugar plum Riddle 2: 元宵 Lantern Festival (Because sugar plum is associated with lantern festival in Chinese culture) Riddle 2: 有時圓有時彎 Sometimes round, sometimes crescent Answer: 月亮 Moon Riddle 3: 月牙角吃青草 Crescent horned that eats grass Answer: 牛 Cow
Great review, thanks. Surprised that the different shades off blue on the roof wasn’t mentioned, perhaps the lighting made it looks more obvious than it is in real life. Either way it is another set to add to the shopping list.
I would put food trucks, carnival rides and carnival stuff as well as maybe a concert stage, different carnival games as well as a petting zoo and horse rides and maybe a helicopter ride and maybe a mini concert stage for concerts at the festival
As much as I love this set I don’t see where lego gets their pricing... I mean for what you get it doesn’t seem worth shelling out $120... it’s beautiful but Lego sets are incredibly expensive for not getting much out of it...
I was born in the year of the ox/cow so i feel almost obligued to get this. Also, my least favourite thing about large modular sets is how all the details are inside, like you pointed out. This set is entirely open and amazing for display. Want want want!
cool set! would look amazing down in the melamby district! I bet the lanterns would pop with the lighting down there or you could replace the red heads with for example trans neon heads. Even cyberpunk denizens need a place to chill out sometimes :P
I am so psyched to get this set! I love the Lunar New Year sets and they are the ones I consistently have out on display. Just need it to be back in stock now 😂
Price was my issue with the 2020 temple, it's not $120 worth of stuff. Same with this, but I bought it anyways as I was born in the year of the Ox. Friends has a $40 park coming out this year. I'm hoping LEGO will make a City one with the new road plates, but it probably be more expensive than this set. +1 for saying bonsai correctly.

I do. It's also referred to lunar new year. But this set is about the lantern festival, not lunar new year.
@@toddwz there is an Ox in the set. It does refer to the Lunar New Year in that way.

This is one of the best looking LEGO sets in years. Love all the little details and the Asian theme
The only thing I could think when looking at that roof was blue BB8 lol
And now I can't uneee that
Same lol
Same tbh

That change in focus at 13:20 was so smooth!
Its a weird that the light brick button is the ox statue's butt lol
I'm sort of glad JANG didn't show it. This is a family-friendly channel. It makes the statue a little too anatomically correct IMO.
LOL
Again Jang I really appreciate your mature approach to reviewing legos, makes your content very enjoyable for a older audience
17:47 “guarding a cave and defeating old medieval knights” I see what you did there
Totally backing you up on the need of having parks that can fit on an ordinary town!
This is a wonderful display, especially that pond
This might look good next to the new Lego Ninjago City Gardens - I bought both so I'll be sure to try it out
17:45 I got a good kick out of that.
"That's no ordinary rabbit, that's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on"
The riddles are so cool, I never expected they design something like this. I really like this set.
The clips on the roof Are molded with a weird shade of dark blue which doesn’t match with the ordinary dark blue color.

I love reuses of pieces like the ninjago sword hilt and the candlesticks. I think the construction of this set really looks great.
I'd love if the next modular building was a Chinese restaurant or like a little Sushi Bar to blend in nicely with the New Year/ Spring Lantern Festival sets.
With these buildings i would live to see a Samuria series released. That would be so cool especially if they dont make Knights anymore
What I really liked when building this, is that I'd never be able to do this myself. To me anyway, it's very complex in its design, especially the layout of the floor. Big up Lego designers!
Love this set. I found it works well when incorporating it with the Bonsai set to replace the Ox lantern/statue. It provides the park with more foliage and colour.
This does kinda have the Architecture effect where it looks quite small even if it has billions of small pieces and is quite expensive
100% agree that Lego needs to do more parks and stuff like this.
I love these sets, shame that they're super expensive.

Pretty good pronunciation of “Tang Yuan” (湯圓), Jang! I appreciate your genuine appreciation of this cultural vignette.
As a person who literally has a name that is Pronounced as “koi,” you can imagine how devastated when I found out I could not afford this set.

That PTP ratio is NUTS for 2020. Awesome set!

Price was my issue with the 2020 temple, it's not $120 worth of stuff. Same with this, but I bought it anyways as I was born in the year of the Ox.
Friends has a $40 park coming out this year. I'm hoping LEGO will make a City one with the new road plates, but it probably be more expensive than this set.
+1 for saying bonsai correctly.
