Eighteen minifigs in a $130 set is the kind of move that makes you check the box twice — Lunar New Year Parade delivers a street full of characters that most sets three times the price can't match.
Is the price fair?A+Eighteen minifigs and a full parade scene for $130 — the math is hard to argue with.
Will you love it?BA cultural celebration rendered with genuine warmth and a cast of characters to match.
Holds its value?CSeasonal sets move well at retirement but rarely spike — expect modest appreciation, not a windfall.
The Full Take
The Lunar New Year Parade packs eighteen minifigs into a $130 ask, and that alone reframes what a seasonal set can be. The parade scene itself earns its A — floats, performers, lanterns — everything reads as a celebration rather than a shelf filler. The build is layered enough to keep adult hands busy without feeling like a slog, and the cultural detail is handled with care. At this price point, the crowd of characters feels less like a bonus and more like the whole point. The weakest note is that the 'what you get' beyond the figs isn't as dense as the piece count implies — some of it is structural scaffolding rather than displayable detail. Still, as a complete scene, this is one of the most crowd-pleasing sets LEGO® has dropped in the Seasonal line in years.
