Ecosystem

80101 Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner — While 80101 featured more printed food tiles and was very appealing, 80113 has a better overall build with more elaborate interior, authentic details, and maintains family continuity. However, some reviewers preferred 80101's printed elements over 80113's sticker approach.

80112 Auspicious Dragon — Mentioned as a similarly anticipated upcoming CTF set; both will be available from 1st January at LEGO.com

80111 Parade (Chinese New Year's Dinner) — Same family appears again but the celebration has moved from home to restaurant, reflecting real trends in Chinese celebrations in recent years. References include sticker showing cook with family celebrating New Year's at parade with bunny mask, and referenced again with kid's tile.

Spring Lantern Festival — The same couple from Spring Lantern Festival wearing matching pullovers appears in this set, now celebrating on the rooftop terrace. Shows continuity across the themed set series.

Brickset Reviews: Year of the Dragon minifigure with unique gold head cover and elaborate printed torso, part of annual zodiac roster; also rare first appearances of family members aged four years later

Resale

Brickset Reviews: Potentially strong aftermarket value; reviewer notes that 2023 Chinese Lunar New Year sets went on sale later in the year, and expects strong interest at launch with some buyers purchasing multiples.

Rebrickable Reviews: Strong aftermarket potential expected given exclusive LEGO store distribution, thematic Chinese New Year appeal, and high minifigure count with unique prints. Currently positioned as 'one of the best sets of the theme, maybe the best.'

What Owners Say

Family Reunion Celebration is a richly detailed, culturally vibrant set that earns strong praise for its generous minifigure count and intricate build, with the main complaints being loose decorative pieces, a high sticker count replacing earlier printed elements, and a price point some find steep.

COMMON PRAISE

+Exceptional level of interior detail including a lazy susan dining table, karaoke machine, fish tank, Chinese paintings, and food pieces that consistently delight builders
+13 minifigures is cited repeatedly as outstanding value and a defining feature of the set
+Culturally authentic design celebrated by Asian builders and appreciated broadly for representing Chinese New Year traditions accurately
+Multi-level structure with varied building techniques keeps the experience engaging throughout

COMMON COMPLAINTS

−Many decorative pieces (bowls, flowers, food items) are not secured and fall out whenever the set is moved
−Sticker usage has increased compared to earlier Lunar New Year sets, replacing printed elements that collectors preferred
−Building is not fully closed at the back and lacks modular connectors, which frustrates buyers who want to integrate it into a city layout
−Price is considered high by several buyers, and one owner was dissatisfied after the set went on sale shortly after purchase
