LEGO has just revealed the 2021 Chinese New Year Festival sets. For several years LEGO has created sets celebrating the Chinese Festivals, and this year the two sets will be 80108 Lunar New Year Traditions and 80109 Lunar New Year Ice Festival. The sets were revealed at the China International Import Expo, which begins today, Jay’s Brick Blog reports. There’s no word yet on the pricing for these sets, but they’ll be available starting Dec. 25 in China and the Asian/Pacific region, while the launch will follow a few days later on Jan. 1 for the rest of the world. LEGO also revealed one new Monkie Kid set as well.

They stole my Ice sculpture sculptor…lol
I get that they’re following the monies, but it would be so cool if they did these kinds of sets for other cultures. Imagine a Caribbean carnival set or a Diwali set or any number of traditions that could be celebrated.
@winstonheard
a good idea, actually. There are a ton of funny traditions around the world, and lego sets may open children minds to diversity and respect. Adults would have fun too. I would like a Día de Muertos one for example.
