Customer Reviews for LEGO - Festival Calendar Lunar New Year Building Toy 40678

Verified Purchase:Yes
I wanted this set when it first came out but missed it. I am new to working with Legos. I usually buy sets for others. I love that this will not only display well but is useful to keep track of the days. You could even use it as a count down calendar. Instructions were clear except for a few that didn't show a clear count of where to place the block.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good fun build

Good fun build. Stickers were a little daunting. Firecracker string is red ridiculously out of place.

I love practical builds that you can use on the daily, and this calendar now adorns my desk at work. I love the fact that you can change the year too, as it has instructions on how to do so when the time comes! I foresee this following me wherever I go.

A fine Lego calendar to use through 2038
on January 14, 2025
Posted by: markayak
I bought this in January 2024 and forgot it until it showed up on Lego stores again in December 2024. I was annoyed that I biased building it during the intended year and surprised that a year-old calendar was being sold without a discount.
Even though the box art doesn't suggest there are spare parts or instructions to modify the set for other years, it turns out there are. It actually includes the parts and instructions to make all ten digits, and looks like it can display any year up to 2037 (so long as you don't lose your spare parts). Unfortunately, trying to build the "8" will use more quarter round tiles than the set appears to include, so you will have to raid another set for parts or retire your calendar after 14 years of faithful service.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perpetual calendar
on January 7, 2025
Posted by: Emily Loa-Swain
My daughters and I love this perpetual calendar. I bought this last year. I'm wondering if there are other parts we can get to change the last two digits of the year to make this an heirloom in the family.

Easy build, good value

We enjoyed building this set, just two minor quibbles. Wish the date wheels were printed, stickers are a pain. Wanted the year with figures to be higher, so they can be displayed behind the dragon, but it’s an easy fix. Fun set, good price.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Useful as well as Fun

I am new to LEGO as a builder, my son loved them. I finished the Tranquil Garden and Bonsai Tree and this seemed a logical addition. I also like that I can use it as a perpetual calendar. I am enjoying discovering how the items are constructed. Not a bad addiction to have. I also like jigsaw puzzles.
I would recommend this to a friend!
