As Lunar New Year 2024 approaches, LEGO is unveiling two new sets that promise to capture the essence of traditional Chinese festivities. Thanks to the LEGO Builder app, fans were able to get a first look at the 80112 Auspicious Dragon and 80113 Family Reunion Celebration sets, two creations that celebrate the arrival of the Year of the Dragon in style.
The 80112 Auspicious Dragon Set: An Iconic Collector's Item
The 80112 Auspicious Dragon set of 1171 pieces is a true ode to one of the most powerful symbols of Chinese culture. Representing strength, luck, and prosperity, this dragon model is designed to be a centerpiece of any New Year's celebration.
Back to the roots with the 80113 Family Reunion Celebration set
The second set, 80113 Family Reunion Celebration, with its 1823 pieces, is a tribute to the very first set of the Chinese Traditional Festivals series, the 80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner.
This new interpretation transports us to the heart of a family reunion dinner, but with a modern twist: the scene takes place in a multi-level Chinese restaurant.
Each floor of the restaurant is designed to reflect the harmony and joy that characterizes these much-loved family gatherings.
