Trotting Lantern
I enjoyed this build and the fact that it captures the Asian culture. I purchased this set on sale so it made it a much better value. The only downside is that it did not come with any of the stickers. This is the 2nd set that I have purchased that the stickers were missing. Disappointed in Lego quality control.

Beautiful and FUN
I built over the course of several evenings. It had both meditative and challenging sections. My 4 year old granddaughter loved playing with it.

Doesn't have Lego's usual sturdiness
We are big fans of the Chinese Lunar New Year theme, we own every set in the theme. This particular set doesn't have the same level of stability and sturdiness in the final build. Parts were barely hanging on by 2 studs and fall apart as soon as you try to place a minifigure. Compared to the Spring Lantern Festival in the same theme that had two base plates joined together, we could still move that set around without it falling apart. This set has smaller footprint yet nowhere near the stability. This set has been a very different Lego building and play experience, and not in a better sense.

Bigger than expected and clear directions
This is much bigger than I thought. My wife and I are really looking forward to putting this together. I love that it comes with the batteries and turns on. Also, the directions make it very easy to put together.

Challenging but fun and the result is very nice.
The finished lantern looks great! Instructions were easy to follow and having parts separated into stages was very helpful. Box says it is recommended for ages 9 and up, but with over 1,000 pieces (lots of very small parts), numerous repetitive patterns, and sometimes delicate assembly, this kit might easily overwhelm a kid working on it alone. This project is best for older children, teens, and adults. The light inside is a great idea but is only in one small part of the lantern and doesn’t project light throughout. Would’ve been 5 stars if the light went all the way through /around the lantern. Overall, a great LEGO kit.

Wish we got more products like this!
Absolutely fell in love with this lego set! I finished building it within an hour. My favorite part of this set is the fact that it lights up and shows a little picture! I can pick it up and move it just fine without feeling like it’s going to break. It currently sits on my kitchen table as a center piece and I love looking at it everyday.

Perfect LEGO Set for Celebrating Lunar New Year: S
As someone who celebrates Lunar New Year, I’ve been eagerly waiting for the LEGO Spring Festival Trotting Lantern set, and it did not disappoint! The colorful design captures the spirit of the Year of the Snake perfectly. The LEGO light brick is a fun touch, and the two silhouette window options create beautiful lighting effects. I love that the lantern top and tier open up to reveal festive scenes like a food stall, decoration stall, and shadow theater. The five minifigures: two adults, two children, and a Year of the Snake character are perfect for imaginative play. This set is a joy to build alone or with family, and it’s a wonderful way to celebrate the Lunar New Year. It’s a must-have for anyone who enjoys cultural celebrations!
