"Lunar New Year 2019 is approaching, and we are getting ready for the party! Did you (or your member) grow up in a Chinese neighborhood or community? How was it like as a child celebrating the Lunar New Year in different parts of the world? What was the best part of it in your memory but somehow missing these days? As the festival is not just about China, we wish to have you or your member who enjoys the culture to join this opportunity together."
About two months ago, we made this call-out on the LAN to invite AFOLs to join us building their version of the spirit of Chinese New Year. Our purpose, despite from supporting a marketing campaign, is to demonstrate that no matter how diverse we are to one another, creativity is the same language and we use it together to inspire people. Now it's time to take a look at these fantastic builds from different parts of the world. Again, please join me to give applauses to all whom has participated in this activity!
Aside from proudly showcasing these on LEGO social media channels, we also managed to incorporate the builds into a large phycial celebration made by LEGO events team in China. With the complexity of transporting MOCs oversea, a collection of picture frames have replaced the "real" models as they still serve the purpose of generating excitements and inspirations for adults and kids (not to mention the picture frams being mostly hung at kids' height).

The event is on show in Shanghai (Global Harbor Mall) from Jan. 25th till Feb 11th. Go check it out if you happen to land in here.
