LEGO set 70123, Lion Legend Beast, depicts a lion creature from Legends of Chima and includes Laval. Released in 2014, it contains 121 pieces and belongs to the part of the theme focused on legendary beasts.
Lion Legend Beast presents an animal build tied to the lion tribe in Legends of Chima. Rather than a vehicle or a location, the subject is a creature, giving the set a different role within the theme and linking it directly to Laval.
The set contains 121 pieces and 1 minifigure, Laval. The build creates a brick built lion intended to stand with the included character in Chima based play.
This set suits collectors of Legends of Chima who want a compact representation of the lion side of the theme. It can be used for character based play, displayed with Laval, or placed alongside other legendary beast sets to show that strand of the range.
