Was excited to see this and bought it immediately. Building experience was average but Lego really went cheap on this one. It’s a calendar but all numbers are on stickers and extremely challenging to place them straight on a circle piece. Just really cheap. I’m considering returning it and it will be the first time I return a set after I built it. Just really disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on how we could make the Festival Calendar even better. We’ll share your feedback with our design team. If you're ever unsatisfied with a purchase, please reach out to us at LEGO.build/Service-BV.
This set is an absolute delight! The vibrant designs capturing various festive themes are truly captivating. Each model is a testament to creativity and attention to detail. Moreover, one remarkable advantage is the flexibility of the set: the year 2024 printed on it is actually customizable. This feature significantly enhances the product's longevity and usability. Being able to modify the digits means it's not confined to a specific year, making it more than just an annual limited edition.
However, there's a minor discrepancy to note: the numbering on the packaging box doesn’t precisely match the instructions in the accompanying booklet. This discrepancy might cause a bit of confusion when trying to follow the numbered sequence during assembly.
Despite this small issue with the packaging, the set itself brings joyous decorations and endless fun. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a touch of festivity and charm in their Lego collection!
I like this build except for applying the stickers on the round pieces. I also like that there are extra pieces and instructions on changing the dates so you could use this as a calendar as long as you want.
So excited for this set and the addition to my lunar new year collection. I did think I was missing two bricks before I realized there is a slight miss print one page 71 where the picture shows two bricks on the set that are show to be added on page 72.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Oh no! We're glad to hear you weren't really missing any pieces and appreciate you letting us know about the printing error. Our apologies for the confusion!
[Employee of lego-global] What a fun build. I love that it also came with extra pieces so you can change the year and keep using it. My only gripe I wish you could use the stand and the boat at the same time.. Guess I must find a way to combine them.
