REVIEW: 80104 Lion Dance

[Pchan1983]

Built the other 2020 Chinese New Year set, here is my review on 80104 Lion Dance:

THE GOOD:

• Excellent design on the lion costumes especially the head, it looks very lively and just the right proportion.
• Again NO STICKERS!
• Lots of new exclusive minifigs, love the rat costume guy.
• Double sided gate!
• Great podium stage with poles, very useful for Lego Kung Fu tournament. (Watch Jet Li's Once Upon a Time in China then you get what I mean)

THE NOT SO GOOD:

• Can't fault this set again, if I really want to be picky is that it would be nice if we can actually fit minifigures under the lion costumer instead of using just legs.

Again, this is another excellent set.  I personally like the Temple Fair more but to be honest, if possible I recommend everyone to get both.  With no stickers, better availability, reasonable pricing and excellent design, Lego has outdone themselves with these 2 chinese new year set.  I really like how lively the lions are looking, would be nice to fit minifigures under it but I'm probably asking too much.

I agree. I think these Chinese New Year sets are even better than last year's, and I'm glad they'll be available in America. I hope I can snag one when they're released.

Amazing

I hope these sets will become a tradition like the modulars or the winter village. I wonder what's in store for 2021

It will take another 10 yrs to complete the full cycle of the 12 animals =)

I’m the opposite, I’m more excited for this one because I loved watching these growing up. Missing out on other sets will be well worth it to get both of these.
