Geek Review: LEGO Year of the Rooster 4023 — “Leading with a bright orange and yellow packaging is the box containing the 40234 Year of the Rooster set. You’ll find the adorable bird comes equipped with a couple of moving parts as well to keep interesting. All in all, this is a rather egg-cellent set with enough... More variety, movement, and color in its small stature to keep anyone interested.”

“Since 2015, LEGO has been released an exclusive LEGO set every year to commemorate the Lunar New Year. I think of the three Lunar New Year sets, the LEGO Year of the Rooster is probably my favorite in terms of design. It has a nice mix of colors and the larger head to body... More ratio gives it that extra cute factor.”
