Happy to share this deal for all the Lego fans as this set was originally released exclusively in Asia early 2019.
Most importantly this is an retired product on Lego official website!

For some reason Sydney Lego Stores were able to have them in stock since boxing day.

Saw many comments from other Myer Lego 30% deal wishing to buy other earlier Chinese New Year sets and here you go!
This set was sold out last week and surprised to see more Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner sets this morning at Bondi Junction store.

These sets are been listed for more than $150 on eBay and Lego store only sell them at original price of $90!

          That's not a real set, if you're being serious.

          It was a publicity stunt by a Polish artist who created a Lego model of a Nazi concentration camp in 1996 that attracted some controversy over the fact that he tried to claim Lego endorsed his artwork, when they didn't.

      This is the dumbest pandering to the Chinese communists if ever there was… Yuck… Lego is a strictly european toy (Danish), Christmas dinners only thanks

    The Lion Dance set is pretty sweet but who would honestly buy the set dinner set with the grannies?

    • deeevan on 03/01/2020 - 15:06

      Because I want to know if the lazy susan actually rotates. It better rotate.

      Because cute little Lego version of Chinese dishes are cute. I want to know what they are?

        It rotates. It is an awesome set.

      My preference out of all the sets would be the reunion set simply because that represents memories of all those Chinese New Year dinners with the relos, etc over the years, and my guess is it's the same for a lot of other Chinese-Asians who are into Lego. May not relate to non-Asians who don't have such dinners but I can tell you that it definitely resonates with the memories of a lot of Asian people out there

      • kerfuffle on 03/01/2020 - 16:23
        +2

        Chinese-Asians

        Chinese are Asians … Did you mean Chinese-Australian?

        • Kenb0 on 03/01/2020 - 16:32

          I initially typed out just Asians, then I thought about it some more and thought that not necessarily all Asians celebrate Chinese New Year(Korean? Japanese? Indonesian? Filipinos? etc), so I added the "Chinese-" prefix to be more specific as to what type of Asians typically celebrate Chinese New Year.

          Couldn't figure out a better way of doing it :)

          • kerfuffle on 03/01/2020 - 16:40

            @Kenb0: It’s also known as Lunar New Year for non-Chinese

        This. The others are very typical scenes associated with CNY but the reunion dinner really captures the spirit of CNY to me. I love the ltitle ang bao packets.

      It’s three generations of Chinese LEGO people enjoying tea together, what’s not to love about that.

    • pikapika on 03/01/2020 - 17:36

      Many people did when it was first released last year. Sold out so quickly.

    The Lazy Susan in Lego set 80101 DOES indeed rotate :-)

    And for those that just “want to know” what’s on the table… According to the set description, this appears to be a fairly concise description of the items on the table:

    “Dining table comes with assorted printed traditional Chinese food and utensil elements including including fish, chicken, shrimp, crab, meatballs, soup, vegetables, jiaozi, tangyuan, spring rolls, rice, rice cake and a chopsticks & spoon, plus a bowl and 6 plate elements.

    Other accessory elements in the dining room include 2 red gift envelopes, 3 spring scrolls, 2 vases with flowers. The front garden features a path with paving stone elements and a green ‘grass’ base with flower elements.“

    • AustriaBargain on 03/01/2020 - 16:39

      Wikipedia says in China they simply call them “ dinner table turntables”.

    Set 80101 was also available at Myer on Boxing Day… alongside the new sets 80104 and 80105. Re-stocked in time for Chinese New Year 2020 (January 25th).

    Set 80101 tries to encapsulate many typical elements found in a Chinese New Year’s Eve dinner… most people (kids) that have experienced the real thing will reflect (enjoy) the memory of receiving red packets (filled with cash) when they visit relatives or friend’s places at Chinese New Year.

    For parents, the reflection is probably not on the red-packets (since they’re the ones filling the red-packets for potential visitor’s kids). But they will enjoy the memories of the multi-generational chats, catching up with old lost friends / family, and having lots of yummy once-a-year foods and snacks.

    • easoweno on 03/01/2020 - 15:45

      was it on myer website? I just had a look and couldn't find it on Myer. Now I really want it.

      • z z on 03/01/2020 - 15:48

        Nope, couldn’t find it on the Myer website on the day. But was definitely at multiple Myer stores on Boxing Day (I picked up one myself). They got snapped up pretty quick (same day).

  • easoweno on 03/01/2020 - 15:52

    ok peeps, I just called Bondi store and they put one aside for me!! yay!

    • KenzoKen on 03/01/2020 - 15:54

      Lucky you! Go grab it quickly!
      I tried to ask them to put one aside for me on boxing day but they would not do it for me! :(

      • easoweno on 03/01/2020 - 15:58

        They are happy to hold it till Sunday for me! I was not expecting that thought I would just give them a call to try my luck, haha. Very happy!

    Not a deal because this is RRP.

    The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was re-released on Boxing Day. Broadway LEGO also has them in stock.

    I understand why some don’t consider paying RRP for this Lego set a deal, but if you are one of those who consistently missed out on getting this set (I have been trying to get this since it was introduced), having the opportunity to get this even at RRP can still be a good thing.

  • profar on 03/01/2020 - 16:25

    Lol not a deal they sell for around $160 !

    • Mr Snrub on 03/01/2020 - 16:50

      You're comparing RRP to aftermarket/third-party/scalpers? Then My thing will seem like a deal..

      They could be collected when in stock, but I think stocks are pretty much gone now… That leaves us with Ebay or similar options. It’s quite a long box, so that’s part of the reason why it’s pricey to buy (postage is expensive for the sellers to post)

          'Capisce' is Italian, but the phonetic transliteration spelt "kapeesh" or "capeesh" is a common enough and perfectly valid alternate form of spelling listed in dictionaries.

          • kerfuffle on 04/01/2020 - 15:56

            @Miami Mall Alien: It was more the grammar that I was pointing out, not the spelling; thanks for the fact

    Didn't realise that Lego was cashing in on CNY.

    The Dinner set even comes with red lucky money envelopes as accessories too!

    Given Lego's history of cashing in on movies, can we expect a Wong Fei Hung or Ip Man series of Lego sets too? A set from the scene in Ip Man 3 where he protects his wife whilst taking on the Muay Thai fighter would be awesome.

    Just left Bondi junction store. It's madness! They must have sold or put away 10-20 sets while I was standing there.

    Thanks so much OP! Managed to get one.

    Also, up yours to the people on gumtree trying to flog it for $200! Glad I didn't succumb to the FOMO.

    • profar on 03/01/2020 - 18:46

      Were you allowed to buy more than 1 or rationed out at 1 per person ?

      • sparkanum on 03/01/2020 - 18:51
        +1

        I had a friend that had called ahead to reserve one. I wasn't even allowed to pick that one up. The staff were being strict, which is probably a good thing.

        • profar on 03/01/2020 - 18:55

          I was in contact with a friend in Syd but called it off assuming 1 per person at the most if not Ozb out.

          Probably only worth it for someone with a cat , dog duck and few chickens if it counted :)

    • dufflover on 17/01/2020 - 08:08

      Thanks so much OP! Managed to get one.

      But the irony is this post could've been the cause of the rush buying if any of those were Broden.
      Going off what people are trying to flog them for it's just like buying a property and hoping some likely-Chinese-investor just pays up for it.

  • inamberclad on 03/01/2020 - 18:40

      Yes they were there at 8am Boxing Day at Perth City store. I grabbed the first one, and there was about 7 left at that point in time…

      Then they sold out. 1 person (me) reserved some and didn’t want it so staff member Tim put one back on the shelf a few days later (and it sold straight away).

      Myer Garden City Perth sold the last one at around lunchtime Boxing Day (I was there buying something else and saw a lady take it to the reg ). They were having an POS meltdown… and the only way to buy stuff was with cash (which I didn’t have on me).

      Yes, we need a Lego store… Don’t think we have the population (yet) to support it :-(
