I got this for my son to build. He is 6. This has amazing detail. He loved the spinning projector light and the fact that you can change it out in to another image. It was amazing to see the finished piece open up in to separate rooms. It took him an afternoon to finish but he was happy to play with it afterward for a while. It made a beautiful decorative piece next to the fan for the Lunar New Year. This is one that we will save and take out again next year.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This lantern kit was an exciting build for the lunar new year. The intricate detail, the festive color combinations, lighting surprise and the doors opening to show cultural activities were thrilling. A very pleasant project with the easy to follow instructions.

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!

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.
