Happy Chinese New Year!

February 9, 2016 By Jay Ong 11 Comments

Wishing all my Chinese readers a very happy and prosperous Lunar New Year!

I’m a big fan of LEGO animals, so I thought it’d be a good idea to commemorate the first day of Chinese New Year by assembling all the Chinese Zodiac animals!

There are twelve Zodiac animals in the Chinese horoscope – Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig!

The monkey gets special treatment as it’s the year of the monkey and he also has an auspicious red packet in his hands!

    One of my favorite Lego animals is the monkey from the Pirates era…. curly tail, movable arms & legs… it doesn’t get much more adorable!

      Agreed! I love that those monkeys can grip stuff with their hands and feet. Wish we’d see more of them in modern LEGO sets – I believe that there’s a metal robotic version in one of the new Ninjago Sky Pirates sets!

        I saw that set when your Ninjago post got me interested in the Sky Pirate sets. I’m going to get that set just for the metal monkey!!

          The metal monkey is cool! Did you know that there’s also a metal banana in one of the newer Mixels sets!
