Customer Reviews for LEGO - Spring Festival Trotting Lantern Building Toy 80116

It was very fun to build. The only downfall is that it is supposed to represent the 'Year of the Snake' but there was only one picture of a snake, which was a small one.
Otherwise, it is very colorful and pretty.

Very entertaining to build.
I'll be honest was sold as soon as I saw the year of the snake helmet.
I enjoyed modifying the three included stands with my extras.
Made an extra shadow puppet holder.
Was able to give the dumpling stand better upright stability with a dowel piece and two of the new gold hooks.
I like the light brick, only wish better stability in spinning as seems to come loose easily.
Real fun set!

I bought this LEGO set for Chinese New Year. At first, I thought the lantern would be really pretty. However, after building it, I found that it looks quite cheap. Moreover, the top part (or lid) is simply placed on top without any bricks connecting it to the second level, making it unstable.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

OMG this is such a great set that I can't wait a single second after I finished to write this review. A couple things that made this a great set:
Regardless of the theme, this is a well built, neat set that does not take up a lot of space. Very fun to play with including the lighting and characters and multiple layers. Very well assembled and stable. The whole experience is great and reminds me of some of the best reviewed Creator Expert sets. I enjoyed every minute building this set, even through some of the 8* repetitive elements (a very Zen experience that is also Asian culture). This is one of the sets that kept you wanting to know what's going to happen next.
From a Asian, especially Chinese perspective, this is a very well thought set that kept reminding you of different pieces of Chinese culture. A lot of 8* pieces and 8 is a lucky number for good fortune in China. The color scheme is really traditional Chinese color including red, yellow, gold and different shades of blue. The roof portion is a combination of circle and square where circle pieces may end up combine into square pieces, which corresponds to the "land square sky circle" concept. Putting up lanterns is the final step, which just make the whole process seemed more meaningful.
I've had experience with a couple New Year sets already, and I have to say that this is the most well thought New Year set that I've put together so far. Many thanks to the designer who actually give thoughts into Chinese architect and culture. Such a great experience.
