Lego Festival Calendar | Set 40678 | My First build of 2024!

[@mgmg3000.]

Great idea to use the calendar to create a sub counter for your channel. That'll be fun to see. Thanks for the review. You know, I did need another set to add to my wish list😅

[@coolcicada]

Thanks for showing this set. I couldn’t find other videos about it.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

I thought it might go under the radar. But it’s a great little set.

[@FunWithBricks1932]

I was looking at the new sets on Lego Shop at Home and this set caught my eye. I'm glad I got to see your review.

[@KennethR-xo4kn]

Very impressive build and video Jason. Thanks

[@ABrickDreamer]

Cool, the lunar new year sets are always quite good

[@OfficialKCBricks]

Love the idea of using this as a sub counter! Lets go! ❤

That piece with the wave is a Unikitty tail. That was also used for architectural details in the roof of the Friends Emma's Art School set (41711) from a couple years ago.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Unikitty and friends, That would explain why I’m not familiar with it.

[@DazmaniaUK]

Thank you for your review Jason. This was a set that I was unaware of, but it looks good. I am going to consider it now, especially as it can be used for something else easily and then rebuilt ready for 2025! Happy New Year Jason & Tanya🎉

[@jasonsbricksin5]

It’s a great set to keep in mind when you are like $20-$30 from getting a gwp as it can put you over that threshold. That’s my pro tip for you lol Happy new year to you as well.

[@DanielEstes88]

I just picked this up at Station Park. I was born in the year of the dragon, so it was a must. Did you notice the date they used on the box? That's when the new year begins. Very clever.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

I did not realize that but you are correct. A very cool hidden detail.

[@Mardigrasman23]

The dragon is very well constructed. Or should I say it’s great

[@brickartisan]

A good set to get. The boat has some use for a Ninjago city layout 😊

[@jasonsbricksin5]

I could definitely see that. Knowing how creative you are, you have probably uploaded moc instructions on rebrickable as to how you can take 3 of these sets and 100 extra parts and make a modular for a city lol

[@brickartisan]

@@jasonsbricksin5 lol I wish I could do that with all sets but some sets are easier/harder to modify than others. 😄

[@BrickTrains]

I like the idea of using it as a sub counter.

[@bricklover2258]

I am building the natural history museum any day I can. I also ordered the Spiderman art and pre-paid the Avengers tower out of my 2024 Lego budget already, so the art set and vintage vehicle promo are on the way, and a 6 pack of series 25 cmfs as well which I only went for 1 6 pack due to the switch to boxes. My only other set I want to grab in 2024 is the loop coaster, which will be over the summer over a double points to get $100 in rewards on top of the $285 I already have in vip points. Also, I need to finish my 2018 passenger train still so that's an eBay haul, probably in March or April since thankfully, Lego did the vehicle promo right away.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Whoa, you might want to slow down. That’s a lot of stuff and it’s only January 1st lol Sounds like a year of fun ahead for you my friend.

[@bricklover2258]

@jasonsbricksin5 I am. I haven't bought Avengers Tower yet, and I only have $605 left for the year, so I definitely plan to. Just wanted to get the promo for sure for the city, and the Avengers Tower paid off ahead so I can order that whenever I want to. Plus, I have a city rebuild project I need to do, so that will take time in January and February.

[@MrWickedpaul]

i do love the Chinese sets. I picked up the other two new Chinese sets and did pick this up but put it back as I really wouldn’t use it as it is. I’ll wait and see what MOCS come then I might pick it up. Your idea of using the counter as a sub counter is good but would it be seen on top of the building? Numbers are rather small

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Yeah I thing the Chinese new year sets are usually really great. I have had the same concerns about visibility. I guess we will see how the moc turns out.

[@SHYTIMEismyTIME]

I debated so hard… whether to get this or not. Still thinking about it.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Well, I would tell you to keep it in mind. It is a great set. It’s a good one to have in your back pocket when you’re like $20- $25 away from that gift with purchase threshold.

[@djnightmare666]

my first build also. the stickers are a hassle on the wheels but otherwise excellent .... followed by "Spider-Man vs. Sandman: Final Battle" and the amazing CITY Burger Truck

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Yes the stickers were not a lot of fun, but they usually aren’t. Glad you enjoyed it too. I also got the Spider-Man set. Nice

[@timhanna8130]

That dial system could be used in so many different ways. I'm seeing it as a scoreboard.

[@jasonsbricksin5]

Yep, really any to track any four digit number

[@delsyncroft]

I cannot believe this set is already on backorder!

[@jasonsbricksin5]

That is very interesting to me that this is the only Chinese new year set on back order

[@delsyncroft]

@@jasonsbricksin5 I think genuinely it makes for a good desk ornament. I want to get one for my friend, Mary. Since she's always checking her phone for the date while at work.
