LEGO Creator Year of the Monkey (40207)

January 10, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Lunar New Year 2016, aka Chinese New Year, is now less than one month away and people, including me, have already started preparing for the occasion. For 2016, the Chinese zodiac lands on the Year of the Monkey so for those who were born in the years 1944, 1956, 1968, 1980, 1992, 2004, and 2016, this is your year to shine.

For the past couple of years, LEGO has released small Creator sets celebrating the Lunar New Year with sets that are only available in Asian countries and they have continued that this year with the Year of the Monkey (40207) set. This set has 165 pieces and is currently available at Toys R Us Hong Kong as part of their promotion.

For people in other parts of the world, it’s almost impossible to get one of these sets unless you have connections or you just buy it off the secondary market. Fortunately, LEGO has provided the building instructions for you to create your own if you have the parts. I hope LEGO continues these kinds of builds for at least two more years for the the Year of the Dog because I’ll be very interested in that one.

LEGO Year of the Sheep (40148)

December 28, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

According to the Lunar Calendar, February 19, 2015 will begin the Year of the Sheep on the Chinese zodiac and to commemorate this event, LEGO will again be releasing a set based on the holiday. The 2015 Year of the Sheep (40148) will include the pieces to create a sheep and is also packaged inside a small red envelope which you can use to give money to others as part of the Chinese tradition.

LEGO did something similiar back in 2013 with the Year of the Snake (10250) but it wasn’t available outside of Asia. It may seem that next year’s set will follow the same pattern.

LEGO Creator Year of the Snake (10250) Confirmed

January 1, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It has been revealed that there will be a new Creator set in 2013, the Year of the Snake (10250). On the Lunar Calendar, 2013 is the snake year for the Chinese zodiac, which starts on February 10. This set is probably exclusive to China but that is not confirmed as of this writing. As a Chinese person, I want to get my hands on one of these sets but may have to pay a pretty premium for it. You can download the instructions for the build here.

LEGO System of Play Celebrates 70 Years

October 27, 2025 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It was 70 years ago that LEGO introduced the System in Play and its been at the heart of how we build today. LEGO has released a feature showing the different types of houses throughout the years using the LEGO System in Play from the first one being the Town Plan to one of the more recent ones with teh Modern House.

Houses built to last: 70 years of the LEGO® System in Play

70 years ago, the LEGO Group introduced the System in Play – a simple but revolutionary idea that means every LEGO® element, made generations apart, would fit together.

At its heart, the System in Play ensures that every element, from tiny hairbrushes to lightsabres, can connect. It’s why a LEGO astronaut can visit the LEGO Boutique Hotel, or a DUPLO giraffe can join a LEGO City adventure.

This versatility has made the LEGO System in Play the foundation for endless creativity. The same handful of bricks can be used to build anything from spaceships to castles to trains – limited only by imagination. And perhaps nowhere is this more evident than in the houses that children around the world, and our LEGO designers, have been inspired to build from the System in Play over the last 70 years.

Houses have been a mainstay of LEGO sets since the LEGO System in Play was launched in October 1955. They have appeared in every conceivable shape and style, mirroring changes in society and the lives of the children who build and play with them.
