“It appears that the #10250 LEGO Year of the Snake set is a variation of the #6914 LEGO Creator Prehistoric Hunters set released in 2012, with extra instructions and parts to build the Chinese Dragon and that beautiful gateway with two snakes printed on the door. At least to... More me the most exciting part in the Chinese Dragon set is the printed round door with the two red snakes.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The Year of the Snake LEGO set offers a unique building experience with its exclusive design, celebrating the Chinese zodiac. As a 4-in-1 Creator build, it includes instructions for multiple models, such as a snake and a dinosaur, and comes with a practical sorting tray. Exclusively available in China, it is a rare find that adds cultural significance to a versatile set.”
 

About Seasonal Chinese New Year

The Chinese zodiac consists of twelve animals – rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, goat, monkey, rooster, dog and pig. This cycle repeats every twelve years. Starting in 2013, the LEGO Group added a number of sets to celebrate the Chinese New Year, with each set depicting an animal represented in the Chinese zodiac.

Chinese New Year was introduced in 2013 and currently consists of 13 sets. As of today, 40207 Year of the Monkey is the most valuable Chinese New Year set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $164.
