[@avii8786]

I hope Lego do this for several more year

[@BlockHeadUK]

These two are top of my hit list for 2020. Can’t wait to get them both! Beautiful designs and so colourful.

[@MaciekiKlocki]

This panda was also in The LEGO Movie collectible minifigures! Great review! ;)

[@niccamor3122]

These are so lovely. Looking forward to picking them up next week here in the UK. Absolutely planning to add them to last years sets.

[@GalaGade2021]

Very nice build good job Annie...I do like all of these so many nice parts and designs I loved it JC will definitely pick these up sometime the only one I don’t have is the Dragon dance set from last year...❤️👍❤️👍

[@GJBricks]

Love this set! Think this is the better with all those market stalls. Good variety in the builds and so colourful. Will be perfect with Ninjago sets like the temple of Air Jitzu as you say! Thanks for sharing your thoughts

[@DrMcBrick]

Thanks for the review on this. I can’t get it here until Jan 10th. Definitely will buy both sets..maybe two of the temple and MOC it. Happy New Year!

[@josephd27]

Wow all printed parts and no stickers, that's a dream. I think it looks really nice, and wow so many minifigs. Keep up the good work JC

[@shanghaibricks3300]

Thank you for your video. This is a great review. I am sad that I missed the first three (80101, 80102, 80103--I don't want to pay the higher prices on Amazon), but am happy that I have still have a chance to get these two sets at the retail price. They look really good.

[@SmallBrickCity]

You are most welcome and sorry you missed them!

[@icey3454]

If u use the walls of the lego. Ninjago monastery it looks GREEAAAAAT

[@vinceguy1464]

that sounds interesting. Got any photos of that layout?

[@Dos895]

Took 49 hours? I guess I should put aside A LOT of time for this project! Lol. Btw, the girl you said that built this set did a great job!

[@MamasBricks]

Thanks for the review! I realy love the marketplace set! The dragons are beautyfull and my husband and I are both from a Year of the rat so we probebly get that set to.... 😁

[@johnhoward7875]

As a follow up to my last comment on these products I have to correct my observation on the number of pieces there are in fact over 2500 pieces in the 2 sets. Although many of the pieces are of 1x1 size in many cases which means large in number but not necessarily in bulk. However I am still firm on my view that Lego is spreading this theme over too much space. The compactness of the Dragon Dance and the Dinner are fantastic and make great displays. I did weaken though and buy the larger set (fool that I am) If Lego are going to continue with this theme and I hope they do can they make it vertical as opposed to spreading all over the shop. We are running out of room! My son is building the latest star destroyer which is a monster! If this continues I may have to consider disposing of a family member to find the extra room we need for the Lego. It's a toss up between the wife and the son!

[@alannoronha8613]

Looks great will be picking this up at one point.

[@skywarp2414]

Very nice looking set. Im thinking of starting a small chinatown if can get my hands on one. My Sun Wukong minifig needs a familiar surrounding😀👍

[@ronvallance5425]

I love the sets. I hope they will be available here.

[@jommybuilds1616]

Another great interesting review. I believe that all the Torso prints that are not Chinese related have been released before but the Chinese related ones are new. The fact that there is southern lions but it takes place in Northern China won't bother the majority of people, but it would be nice for it all to be accurate. I might get the two sets later in the year once I figure out what to do with it, but I'm afraid that they might retire quickly everywhere except Asia. 😄

[@Zombiemoves]

Thanks for the review. Are you planning any future videos combining this set with Ninjago’s Temple of Airjitsu set? i’d be interested in how you would go about doing that.

[@swoooom1281]

The panda is from the lego movie one cmf and it was the included with the panda custume dude.

[@the911collection]

Lego stores already have them

[@FemaleStardust]

Pinwheels? Welcome back JC, missed your videos!

[@SmallBrickCity]

Thank you!

[@toohumble1]

These sets are beautiful! This is definitely a day one buy and yes, I'm buying both. 😊 I also really appreciate your expertise in the authenticity of the sets. It is always interesting and a learning experience to me. Great video as always JC!

[@johnnations5932]

Great review sir! Where is your cool accent from? Man I love getting international voices in the Lego Review community. I am jealous of you having this set,but I have some new unopened sets I need to build before I buy more. Thanks for your work and thanks to your builder-helper too:)

[@bunnyhat9138]

Hey JC hope your day is good I was wondering if you need a video editor. If you wanted the edit file you would need the software fcpx becuase that’s what I use i just wanted to offer.

[@jamesdoble7580]

I want the temple set.

[@sliferx77]

It's most likely not snow. They're Cherry Blossom petals as those are cherry blossom trees, not trees with snow.

[@SmallBrickCity]

Possibly!

[@dimitrikreserve1943]

How did you receive this set in advance? In Belgium it is meant to be sold after the 10th January

[@vdan2879]

What hap to this channel?! Miss the updates.

[@johnhoward7875]

I have the original 3 sets that were released last year and on New Year's day bought the smaller set along with the Book Shop. Here are my complaints regarding the Chinese series. Firstly the price - The combined price for both Chinese sets is the same as the Book shop here in Australia $250 but I haven't counted the bricks but I am pretty sure that there are at 2500 bricks in the Bookshop more than in the other 2 sets combined. I appreciate the attraction of having a window into a fascinating culture that is old as civilised man is. But I am sorry it does seem too expensive for that experience. My second complaint is probably even more commanding in that It is too expansive in size. In my view The Family dinner set is the best of all and one that sits very nicely in a compact space and as you anyone will tell you when you collect Lego sets it is the room it takes up which is the problem. You allude to that in many of your videos. The sheer space it takes up on the shelf is what made me think twice before deciding against buying it, It represented to me a lot of little scenes for a lot of space and money. I want Lego to keep showing other cultures in their series but if they could use a format like that dinner set where they keep the space at a premium it would be far more user friendly. And after all in my experience Asians know better than anyone on how to achieve much in a very small area!

RayTricky and what dows dat mean

@@icey3454 A type of "traditional-flour- made-figurine-on-a-stick", not sure about the correct term lol. Usually there're various types of traditional/legendary characters like Monkey King and some sort.

Okay ty bro

[@RayTricky]

@@icey3454 you're most welcome..

[@johnnations5932]

Please tell us what each Chinese character/print says and how to pronounce it? Thank you, xie xie.

[@TotyVale]

I don’t doubt LEGO jumping on the bandwagon of global warming! They are now using plant base materials to make LEGO bricks. I’m worry they’re compromising quality to please some audiences! I like the sets, I probably buy them! As for me quality is important and I have expressed my concerns to LEGO before about the plant based bricks!

[@bigjimbig3184]

I'll probably have to save money for this set from my $15 salary....
