LEGO over the years has released Spring Festival sets to celebrate the Chinese/Lunar New Year and one of this year’s set is the Fortune Firecracker (80118). It has 1,039 pieces and retails for $89.99.
If you’re still looking to get the LEGO F1 Collectible Race Cars 6 Pack (66796), Amazon currently has it for 48% off. The set of 6 is now priced at $15.60 which saves you $14.34 on it. Each box is random so you aren’t guaranteed a complete set of 12 even if you buy two sets.
