The LEGO Lunar New Year 2023 Money Tree (40648) is now available for purchase on the LEGO Shop. The set has 336 pieces and retails for $24.99. In Chinese culture, the tangerines represented by the pumpkin pieces are synonymous with luck and the tree itself is a symbol of prosperity.

LEGO Japan has revealed the LEGO Year of the Rabbit (40575) that is for the upcoming Chinese/Lunar New Year promotion. Over there, you have to spend 9,900 yen to get it but it’ll most likely be a $80+ requirement here in the US. There’s no word yet on when it will be available here but it’s usually around the beginning of the year.

In an interesting turn of events, the Holiday Village w/Train (Working) project by United Bricks of America has been removed from LEGO Ideas. The project has been completely deleted off the site with no explanation. Also the United Bricks of America profile has also seem to been removed as well. This could be on the user end or on LEGO’s end if there was some sort of violation. I’m sure there will be some sort of update when LEGO does their recap when the Third 2022 Review Stage ends.
