"With a BrickScore of 70.7 across three reviews, Good Fortune earns a solid recommendation as a beautifully crafted, sticker-free display piece for fans of Chinese culture — though buyers ambivalent about the theme should think twice before committing to the ~£70/$90 price tag."
Reviewers broadly agree that Good Fortune (80117) is an attractive, culturally rich display set that successfully captures the symbolism and aesthetics of Chinese New Year through clever building techniques and an array of printed pieces. All three sources praised the design and parts quality, landing consistent positives on display value and aesthetics. However, there is a shared caveat: the set's narrow thematic focus means it will resonate most with those who already have an appreciation for Chinese cultural traditions, and its playability is essentially nil — this is a shelf piece, not a play set.
Where they split: The main split is on build satisfaction: BricksFanz and Brickset were notably more positive on the overall experience (70–78), while Bouwsteentjes scored it lower (60) owing to the fan's repetitiveness dragging down the enjoyment. Brickset also found the alternative fan decoration "less attractive," while BricksFanz treated both options as a positive customization feature — a minor but clear difference in framing.
