afol fun for everyone (as long as you're 18+ LOL)
Brickheadz these days seem to be relegated to holiday sets only. Just about the time people were catching on to them LEGO kills them.
O well. Lucky Cat is a sitting figure where most of the Brickheads seem to be standing.
This is the first one I have built that has had a movement feature his hand goes up and down, but only a very little bit.
All kitties should have tails even stubby little ones like a manx. This guy is tailless and sad.
This year EVERYONE gets to celebrate Chinese New Year with LEGO. In the past these sets were exclusives to the Asian Pacific regions. Not any more thanks to LEGO sticking by their statements from last year of no longer doing regional exclusives. This doesn’t include their in house exclusives nor the comic con exclusives (don’t even get me started with those)
Today’s the day the sets are available on LEGO.com [affiliate link]. Go get ’em!
LEGO’s press release about the sets can be found below.
Celebrate the Chinese New Year with LEGO® Lion Dance and Traditional Temple Fair
Billund, 05 November 2019: Today, the LEGO Group revealed its 2020 Chinese New Year sets – Lion Dance and Chinese New Year Temple Fair. The launch follows on from this year’s popular sets: Dragon Boat Race, Dragon Dance and Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner, the first LEGO® products created to mark the festivities.
The Lion Dance set vividly reproduces a well-loved scene of the Spring Festival and is sure to evoke fond memories of the traditional festival. The set features 5 beautifully decorated small lion figurines and a percussionists’ stage with an awesome drumming function. An accompanying temple gate is decorated with LEGO tiles featuring traditional patterns. The set also comes complete with 8 minifigures including lion dancers and a man in rat costume to mark the Year of the Rat. Additional accessory elements such as the red ‘best wishes’ scroll, red orb, cabbage, calligraphy brush and a rocket firework are included to inspire unlimited role-play.
The Chinese New Year Temple Fair set captures a beloved event often seen in towns and cities throughout China around the lunar new year. The set includes stalls displaying a vast, colourful array of LEGO versions of authentic items you would find at a Temple Fair. Everything from barbecue dishes to candy, toys, vases and dough figurines are lovingly re-created ion LEGO form. The set also includes 14 minifigures. Eagle-eyed LEGO fans will notice that the family from last year’s Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner set make an appearance, continuing the story of their Spring Festival celebrations.
LEGO Product designer Markus Rollbühler, designed the sets to be as authentic as possible: “We were incredibly thorough with our research when designing the sets. For the Chinese New Year Temple Fair, we looked closely at the types of things vendors sell in the market stalls and all of the various goods on offer.” It was also important that children could act out scenes to make the sets come alive: “Both sets include amazing minifigures and details to encourage role play. The Lion Dance set comes with many interesting play features. For example, you can fully pose the lions and you can also open and close their mouths to help recreate the spectacular dances we all know and love.” Markus explains.
The two new LEGO® Chinese Traditional Festival models will be ready to discover in China and Asia Pacific markets from December 26, 2019 and the rest of the world from January 10, 2020.
Here are images of all the minifgures featured in both sets. The duplicate figures are just showing both sides of the dual heads and not actually two figures. See above photos for reference .
This is not a theme I pick up very often but when I saw it on clearance for five bucks I decided to grab it.
Took all of ten minites to build it. Some nice parts I did not have in those colors before. 
This set has 86 pieces and comes with a Zorri Bliss minifigure.
Y-wing minified. Pew pew pew.
No face! What!? No! The Zorii Bliss minifigure doesn’t have a face! We see some of her face in the movie, so I do wish LEGO would have stepped up and given us an actual head here.
WotNo! takes the little ship for the swoosh test and he says it zooms.

The LEGO Group has announced the LEGO® IDEAS Dinosaur Fossils, perfect for a desktop museum display
Take a step back in time to when dinosaurs wandered the Earth with the all new LEGO® IDEAS Dinosaur Fossils set, available directly from LEGO Stores and online from 1st November. Dinosaur and LEGO brick fans alike can get their hands on this highly detailed set of brick-built fossils to proudly display on their desk or at home.
This set is a must-have for anyone with a passion for dinosaurs and all things prehistoric. The set contains three buildable dinosaur skeletons of the infamous T-rex, Triceratops and a Pteranodon with display stands to create a LEGO style natural history exhibit.
The LEGO IDEAS Dinosaur Fossils set contains 910 pieces, creating three detailed dinosaur skeletons that are perfect to learn more about these magnificent creatures. Each of the models are posable, allowing builders to recreate ferocious poses on their desks.
The set comes complete with interesting facts about each of the dinosaurs on display and information about the sets LEGO fan designer. The set’s LEGO IDEAS fan designer is Jonathan Brunn; a graphic and web designer, working in a creative agency in Perpignan, France. He is also a massive science and dinosaur geek, into space, searching for fossils and everything related… and of course, he’s a big LEGO fan.
Jonathan tells “When I was little, my passion for dinosaurs was almost obsessional. Dinosaurs were the most incredible thing ever for me, so I made this project to please my inner child! I would have loved it as a kid, and I think every kid who loves dinosaurs and science would agree with me.”
The models are built to 1:32 scale and each come with their own individual stands and a sapiens skeleton figure to truly showcase the fascinating scale of these prehistoric animals. The T-rex model is the largest of the three measuring over 7” (20cm) tall and 15” (40cm) long making this set significantly easier to display and store than a real 12-metre-long T-rex!
LEGO IDEAS is a platform that allows fans to submit their own LEGO brick creations to be voted on by other fans. If a set reaches 10,000 votes then it will be reviewed by the LEGO Group and maybe even brought to life.
This detail packed LEGO IDEAS model will be ready to discover in LEGO Stores and online at LEGO.com (affiliate link) from 1st November. Act quickly before the set becomes extinct!
