Jays Brick Blog

“The goat was a really pleasant build, and as an ethnically Chinese person, it does feel great that LEGO produced an exclusive set to commemorate an important cultural event.”

“Very nice Creator set to celebrate for the upcoming Chinese New Year and distribution will probably be very limited.”

Jays Brick Blog

“To usher in the Lunar New Year and the Year of the Sheep/Goat/Ram, LEGO released a super-special set that was only available in Asian countries. Why the confusion with what Chinese Zodiac this year? Apparently, there was some misinterpretation of the Chinese characters,... More which has led to people wondering if it’s the year of the Goat or Sheep. Personally, it’s always been the year of the goat to me, which is why I was pretty perplexed that we got a sheep from LEGO.”

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 12 sets. As of today, 10250 Year of the Snake is the most valuable Chinese New Year set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $191.
