C+

Investment Grade

⏳ Active

As a seasonal set tied to the Chinese New Year, the Festival Calendar has niche appeal. Its relatively low piece count and accessible price point make it less of a high-value investment compared to larger, more exclusive sets. However, its cultural significance and potential for limited availability after the holiday season could lead to modest appreciation over time. Collectors interested in completing their Lunar New Year LEGO collection may be willing to pay a premium in the future. The set's investment potential hinges on its cultural relevance and potential scarcity.

Compared to other Lunar New Year sets, the Festival Calendar offers a more compact and affordable option. While sets like the Lunar New Year Ice Festival (80109-1) provide larger, more elaborate scenes, this set focuses on smaller, more intimate festive details. It's a great choice for those with limited space or budget, or those looking for a quick and enjoyable build.

2 Minifigures Included

Man, Red Jacket, Dark Blue Legs, Black Hair

4 parts

Woman, Dark Turquoise Jacket, Sand Blue Legs, Black Hair

4 parts

The set includes two minifigures, a man and a woman, both featuring common hairpieces and torsos. While not exclusive, they add a human element to the festive scene.
