For clarity - the proper name for this holiday is Lunar New Year, as this is not only celebrated by us Chinese - but also by other Asian countries that are not Chinese (e.g., Korean, Vietnamese, and others).

Coming from someone whos Lego collection fills a bedroom, 90 dollars retail for this is insane. Lego has lost their mind.

Chinese new year make sense and so it's lunar new year. It is originated from China. Both are proper name.

The problem is that the set only contains chinese characters and chinese icons and symbols that only make sense to people who speak chinese. The set doesn't contain anything from other Asian countries and symbols of other asian cultures.

If you're going to make a "Lunar New Year" set, you'd need to include things from other cultures as well. Otherwise make a different set for other asian cultures.
That's not true. I visited Vietnam and Japan and they both use Chinese characters for the new year. Given they sometimes have their own characters but they were perfectly fine with chinese characters.

Japan uses kanji which are chinese characters in their written language.

On top of that, Chinese New Year is based on the Lunisolar calendar not Lunar. Then there are variations in new year tradition such as the color red isn't used to celebrate new year in Korean culture. They use white. Vietnamese don't celebrate year of the rabbit, they celebrate year of the cat instead.

I agree with you 100%

There's a lot of generalization of the name of our holiday. Commercialization of it is even worse, just as you've outlined

Lego does this because they have sufficient market demand for Chinese language speakers. They name it Lunar to minimize Sinophobic attacks, and this holiday is also celebrated by South Korea, Viet Nam, Singapore, Malaysia, and several other Asian countries.

Don't disagree with you.

I mentioned the recognition of this holiday of other Asian countries as well in an earlier post.

specifically to this deal, which is LEGO Lunar New Year display.

you may find LEGO Lunar New Year for 2023 is a rabbit
https://www.lego.com/en-us/produc...rade-80111

so if you know anything about Vietnam version of new year, 2023 is the year of cat.

it is pretty obvious LEGO actually meant chinese new year, or else they would have put something either in addition to, or not Rabbit for 2023.

ultimately, it is whatever that sales that important. i suppose the market for rabbit was just simply larger.

In China it's more often referred to as the Spring Festival or the Agriculture Calendar New Year.

I bought these thru the lego website back in Thanksgiving when they were on sale along with the money tree for $54. $72 still seems high but given that CNY is around the corner, the markup will be there. I pick up two money tree for $17.50 each as well.

Correct, and it wouldn't make sense for Chinese to call it "Chinese New Year". The proper name, as you said, is Lunar New Year.

The word "Chinese" does not make the holiday exclusive to Chinese people. This is not a valid argument for changing the name of the holiday to something that doesn't even make sense (it's not based on Lunar calendar, see other comments).

It's like arguing for removing "Christ" from "Christmas" just because it's also celebrated by people who don't practice Christianity religions.
