LEGO Lunar New Year Free Building Instructions

January 23, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has released some new Lunar New Year activities on the LEGO Shop. There are some free downloadable instructions for a Pagoda (104 pieces) and a Lantern (33 pieces). You’ll have to supply your own parts but they can be used for small decorations.

There are also some finger puppet origami instructions for Year of the Tiger as well as for the Year of the Pig. The instructions are the same for both animals but you can decorate whatever animal you prefer.

LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) Available at Walmart – January 2022

January 14, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

For those who missed the Zavvi offer the other day, Walmart is also selling the LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) as a standalone set. It is also retailing for $9.99 and it is still currently a gift with purchase promo over on the LEGO Shop where you have to spend $85 to get it.

I thought the Zavvi pre-order was just a fluke as a brand new GWP set isn’t supposed to be sold separately, especially since it just got released, but if Walmart is also selling them, does this mean that we can just buy upcoming GWPs in the future? We’ll see next month when that promo goes live, whenever that is. Thanks to Gordon for the heads up.

LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) Pre-Order on Zavvi

January 10, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) promotional set went live today on the LEGO Shop but if you have nothing to purchase, Zavvi seems to be selling it as a standalone set for $9.99. They are taking pre-orders for it and it will be released on January 28. I’m not sure if I’ve seen a brand new promo set being on sale at another retailer but I took a chance and ordered a few for my family to see if it works.

LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival 2022 Sets Now Available on LEGO Shop

January 9, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The new 2022 LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival sets are now available for purchase in North America on the LEGO Shop. The Lunar New Year Traditions (80108) retails for $79.99 while the Lunar New Year Ice Festival (80109) is priced at $119.99 and both sets are the newest ones to celebrate the Lunar New Year.

In addition, the Year of the Tiger (40491) is also available as a gift-with-purchase set with purchases of $85 or more, while supplies last. The promo also doubles up with the LEGO Monkie Kid’s Underwater Journey (30562) polybag when you buy $40 on LEGO Monkie Kid or LEGO Ninjago sets. Be sure to use Rakuten to earn some cash back from your purchase.

Update: The Lunar New Year Traditions (80108) product listing is not coming up anymore. If the page does come up, the listing says “Coming Soon” so I’m not sure what’s going on with it.

Update 2: The set should be up now.

LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) Review

January 9, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) promotion is now live on the LEGO Shop and you can get it for free with purchases of $85 or more, while supplies last. Coming in at 193 pieces, it continues the line of the Chinese New Year zodiac animals which started with these particular style and is the 8th one in the line if you don’t count the Year of the Snake (10250) which was a different style.

Similar to previous years, the box uses the front flap design and when you open it up, you also get an envelope to gift to another person if you like.

As for the tiger build itself, it is mostly static with the articulation only coming from the ears and the tail. This year’s build is a little bit more boring than other years but the cute, cartoony style is still there. You also get a small display stand that it can sit on.

Overall the LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) is a fun little set that I looked forward to getting to add to my zodiac animal collection. For 2023, it’ll be the Year of the Rat so I’ll be looking forward to that. This promotion will run until January 27.

Thank you to LEGO for sending in this set for me to review. The content above represents my own opinion and not the company. Review sets sent in does not guarantee a positive review.

LEGO Seasonal Easter Rabbits Display (40523) Official Images

January 5, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO has revealed the next LEGO Seasonal set with the Easter Rabbits Display (40523) which will be releasing in February. The set has 288 pieces and will retail for $12.99. The set features two different colored rabbits on a grassy field with Easter eggs surrounding them. If it’s anything like the Valentine Lovebirds (40522), the build will be separated in a way that two people can build it at the same time which is something that LEGO is pushing more with the Build Together campaign.
