December 22, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The first image of the upcoming LEGO Year of the Horse (40779) gift with purchase set is now on the LEGO Shop. The set has 132 pieces and it features a cartoony version of the horse from the Chinese Zodiac and it should start being available on December 23. It is the last of the Zodiac animals in this style with the first one being the Sheep (40148) from 2015. The Year of the Horse should be available at the beginning of 2026. Were you able to get all of them the last dozen years?

Give the gift of good fortune with this LEGO® Year of the Horse toy for boys and girls aged 8 and up (40779). This model version of the iconic Zodiac animal has a white and brown mane and has one hoof raised. The horse toy stands on a base that’s decorated with flowers and gold-colored leaf elements. Once complete, it becomes a charming Spring Festival decoration that can be enjoyed all year long. Set contains 132 pieces.
