LEGO Spring Lantern Festival 80107 review! A winning streak continues

[@benjaminstreets1912]

Can we just take a moment to appreciate just how professional JANG is with his reviews? He gives good disclaimers about his knowledge of the topic surrounding a set, he reviews each set objectively, and the overall quality of all of his videos are so great! Thank you JANG!

[@thatoscarguy9965]

Hahaha especially in cases like at 17:45 that was the greatest thing I could've imagined him saying there. My parents showed me the clip of that years ago. Didn't occur to me when I saw it but when he said it I couldn't have agreed more.

[@vincentsgames9876]

Benjamin Streets yes, he is 100% the best reviewer out there

[@Angry_Squirrel555]

Definitely the best LEGO reviewer around.

The vinyl signs around the sets represent riddles which are part of a game, traditionally played during the lunar new year period Here's a rough translation of what's on these signs First set of Signs: sweet white plum --> yuanxiao/tangyuan, or glutinous rice balls which have sweet fillings (sesame, peanut, red bean) Second Set: something that's round sometimes, and curved other times--> the moon Third Set: moon horned, eats grass --> a bull/ox

Thanks...

[@mathewkolakwsk]

Your point about Lego as an escape for adults, especially during hard times, is terrific. It is a wholesome reminder of the joy and simplicity of childhood. So yes, more of this please. Green parks and escapes to nature (*the recent Treehouse Creator set comes to mind) are going to bring in more AFOLS over time. That said, Lego must continue to focus on young children and continue to make excellent sets for the kids... My children enjoy their sets (Jurassic World/Dinos, Mario, Friends, Disney Princess, Star Wars, and Batman/Spider-Man). And as a big bonus, I get to enjoy the Lego Batman and Star Wars sets some too :-)

[@idonotexistkh8304]

The banners are actually quizzes or in Chinese, 猜谜语. It is kind of a tradition, where you put the question or clue in front, then the answer behind, which you then hang below a lantern. This is usually done as a game at festivals or gatherings. The specific (direct) translations for these from left to right are: White sugar lime - Yuan Xiao (the 15th day of the Chinese New Year, celebrated by some groups of Chinese as a big day) (Why is this the answer, it could be because in ancient times, tang yuan 汤圆, a dish for another festival, was called yuan xiao 元宵, the dish was starch balls, stuffed with sugar or other fillings, rolled into the size of a small lime, and served in a sugary soup, hence white sugar lime. Quite the vague connection as virtually no one knows this, even me as a Chinese) Sometime round, sometimes curved - Moon (obviously) Moon shaped horn, eats grass - Cow/Ox (Year of the Ox) edit-answer for quiz 1

[@jackliu8394]

I feel the first one could be translated as "White Sugar Plum". The answer for it is Yuan Xiao - the food, not the 15th day of Chinese New Year. The day is Yuan Xiao Festival. The way to make Yuan Xiao is prepare the stuffing first (normally is smashed black sesame with sugar) , dip with water, then roll them into ball shape covered with sticky rice powder. I think it's kind like the plum with sugar covering. Both white, sweet and about the same size.

A year ago I picked up Legos again and coincidentally chanced upon your channel again, and id like to say thank you for reigniting my passion for lego, great video!!!

I totally agree. More sets like this. I’d like some just on the half base plate like the little town gardens we have in central London (eg the garden in Notting Hill they go into at night). They would works so well with modulars.

This set work well as a chinese place in any city, as a great corner unit and a phenomenal park. Also fun fact, I was born on the year of the ox so this set is even more special to me.

[@petitkruger2175]

i think it could work well as part of a Panda Enclousre in a Zoo (just remove the sidewalk and lanterns)

[@bigginsd1]

My wife is Chinese so my 5yo son is Eurasian. When they started making these sets it was a dream come true. He now gets to celebrate both Christmas and CNY, I’m quite jealous of his childhood.

[@niccamor3122]

My husband was brought up in Taiwan, so we were bringing the kids up to speak Chinese and get a real sense of the culture. It has always been a huge part of my upbringing to, so I totally get what you mean. These kids are very lucky!

[@WallOBrix]

I think this set is so good! The detail is incredible

[@ministig63ace]

People seem to only recognize this as being chinese but remember that us Vietnamese also celebrate new year in a similar fashion😉

[@CaptainM792]

That’s because ancient China goes all the way to modern day Vietnam at one point in history. If you’ve played the Vietnamese campaign in Ages Of Empire 2 you’d know it.

[@toddwz]

I do. It's also referred to lunar new year. But this set is about the lantern festival, not lunar new year.

[@omerhollander]

The clips on the roof Are molded with a weird shade of dark blue which doesn’t match with the ordinary dark blue color.

[@maxthrust976]

Omer Hollander I wonder if that varies from set to set or if it just shows up more on video, in any case the difference seems far more subtle on my own set. It’s still different for sure, but nowhere near as noticeable.

[@jadendafinger]

I as having a good day, and then you pointed that out so now it's just permanently stuck in my head forever.

[@JANGBRiCKS]

Yeah something about the lighting makes it much more pronounced on camera, which is unusual (it's often the other way around). In person right here and now, I can see the difference if I look up close & carefully, but I can just as easily not notice it.

This set is amazing! The banners are riddles and their corresponding answers. The long banner poses the riddle and the short banner shows the answer. I love how much detail and care Lego took in making these. From left to right, the riddles are: 1. Sugar plums 2. Sometimes it's round, sometimes it's curved 3. Has the horns of a slim moon, eats green grass Answers: 1. Tangyuan (a Chinese dessert symbolising family) 2. The moon 3. A cow

Thanks for another great review Jang!

[@Darkwing__Duck]

This might look good next to the new Lego Ninjago City Gardens - I bought both so I'll be sure to try it out

[@joseramalho3297]

Totally backing you up on the need of having parks that can fit on an ordinary town!

[@testpeer]

In my opinion, one of the main benefits of this set is the fact that it can be integrated both in a city with modular sized buildings, as well as in cities with LEGO city and/or creator 3 in 1 buildings. This already makes it very usefull, as it does not require hundreds of €/$ to be invested in LEGO for it to look nice. Even so, I do agree on the price, which could have been a bit lower, although the plethora of printed pieces most likely made up an important part of this increase to €109 (Dutch prices) or $120. Considering the alternative of having to place stickers on a lot of transparent pieces, I was willing to pay the premium, although cheaper LEGO is always better.

[@markpowell7395]

I loved building this, it was such a calm relaxing time. Watching how it built up layer by layer was great and I love how the architecture has been realised. The minifigs are also great fun and you can tell so many stories with them. Beautiful set.

[@ASMR-brick]

Great review and nice pointers. Plus i really like your Wolverine-sideburns

[@brennan1108]

From what I know the red paper piece that is hanging on the sidewalk is some sort of riddle. The first piece gives the readers or passerby a hint. For example the one in the middle says: sometimes it's rounded and sometimes it's crescent in shape. The piece behind reveals the answer and it's the moon. Hope that help a tiny bit

[@stuchly1]

The Bricktator lego clipped a plate in the police station modular, though there are no clipped plate connections in this set that I recall. If you mean the inverted fences in the gazebo roof, they are connected properly and hinged to swing downward.
