LEGO has revealed that the LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) promotional set will be available from January 10-27, while supplies last. You can get it for free with purchases of $85/£85/€85 and it coincides with the release of the LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival sets so there shouldn’t be any issues getting it.
In addition, the LEGO Monkie Kid’s Underwater Journey (30562) will be available at the same tiemframe with purchases of $40/£40/€40 on LEGO Monkie Kid or LEGO Ninjago sets.
Last month, we got our first look at the upcoming LEGO Year of the Tiger (40491) set which came from LEGO’s Declaration of Conformity and there are now official images of the set. The set has 193 pieces but we don’t know when it will be released at this time. It will most likely be available in January like with previous years. The price threshold to get it would be about $80 or $88 which is the normal from previous years. The number 8 is a very lucky number in Chinese culture so it will most likely be one of the two prices which should be confirmed when the January store calendar is released.

Every year around Chinese New Year, LEGO likes to do a promotional set for the Chinese Zodiac animals and the Year of the Tiger (40491) has been revealed on LEGO’s Declaration of Conformity. This will be the 8th animal from the series which started all the way back in 2015 with the Year of the Sheep (40148). If you want to be technical, the Year of the Snake (10250) was released back in 2013 but it was a different style than these ones. Also, the first couple of sets were Asia exclusives so it was a bit harder to get than in recent years. The Year of the Tiger (40491) will most likely be part of a promotion in late January or some time in February.

In just a few days, LEGO will have a new promotion on the LEGO Shop for the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Ox (40417). You’ll be able to get it for free with purchases of $85 or more, while supplies last.
Like with the previous Chinese Zodiac animal GWPs, it comes in a flap box and it also includes an envelope for putting money in as a gift.
The build is a cartoonish style ox that is sitting on a display stand. The ox has articulation on the arms and legs by the way of some ball joints and the head is on a turntable spinner. The ears are on hinges so they are able to move up and down.
The stand has a more autumn feel to it with the color scheme but it works well with the color of the ox. There are a couple of jumper plates to allow it to sit on it but it’s not too secure.
The Year of the Ox (40417) is the seventh one in the Chinese New Year series and it’s an okay build. Ranking it alongside the other animals that have released so far in terms of design, I would place it fifth. Of course, that’s just my opinion and you may have it ranked higher. The Year of the Dog (40235) is still my favorite one mainly because I love the look of it and that is my zodiac animal.
The promotion for this set will run from February 1-14 with purchases of $85 or … Continue
For those who missed out last year, the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Pig (40186) is now available for purchase on Shop@Home. This was a GWP last year in January for the Chinese Year of the Pig holiday where you had to buy $88 to get it. The set has 153 pieces and you can get it for $9.99 with a limit of 50. These seasonal sets have become a a yearly thing to celebrate the Lunar New Year and are pretty popular in the LEGO community. Thanks to Tim for the heads up.
The promotion for the LEGO Seasonal Year of the Rat (40355) set is now live on LEGO Shop@Home. You can get it for free with purchases of $80 or more online and at LEGO Brand Stores. The 162 piece set continues the Chinese zodiac animal sets that LEGO have been releasing for a few years now. The promotion will run from now until January 26 or while supplies last.
To coincide with the promotion, the LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival sets are also available for purchase. The Lion Dance (80104) is still currently in stock while the Chinese New Year Temple Fair (80105) is in backorder status. You can still order it and it will ship in 30 days.
There are now official images of the upcoming LEGO Seasonal Year of the Rat (40355) set. It has 162 pieces and you will be able to get it for free with purchases of $80 or more starting on January 13.
As you can see from the images below, there’s actually a lot of articulation with the Rat with the moveable ear, hands, and tail. Along with the set, you also get a “red” envelope where you can put money in and give to others.
The promotion will run until January 26, while supplies last.
