Ecosystem

80102 Dragon Dance — The dragon dance model in this set features red and flame yellowish orange colours from the 80102 Dragon Dance, though in reduced scale. Despite its modest size, the dragon includes brilliant details comparable to the earlier model.

Chinese Traditional Festival range — The temple structure appears remarkably opulent, almost matching the recent Chinese Traditional Festival range. The vibrant model could be adapted to complement this range.

75546 Minions in Gru's Lab — While this build is relatively simple so kids should enjoy, the premium price is somewhat justified because the build is not as sparse as 75546.

71708 Gamer's Market — The flame yellowish orange combat suit resembles Bruce Lee's attire and succeeds Harumi from this set in that regard.
