You begin by building the red pot, and the Money Tree from the ground up, adding the leaves as you build upwards.The colour red represents good fortune and prosperity, and is common across all Lunar New Year celebrations. The set offers no playability, but it does make a lovely display model, particularly when placed between the two parts of 80110 Lunar New Year Display. Two gold yuanbao ingots in the shape of boats which, like the tree, are symbols of prosperity and wealth, sit upon the rim of the pot and complete the model. Even as a parts pack, the printed envelopes, coins, drum-lacquered gold and pumpkin pieces could all be used as decoration elsewhere, and it’s cheap enough for that to be a viable option.

Here’s a look at the printed coins, which represent ancient chinese coins, which have the signature square cutout in the middle. LEGO, the LEGO logo, the Minifigure, DUPLO, BIONICLE, DIMENSIONS, the FRIENDS logo, the MINIFIGURES logo, MINDSTORMS, NINJAGO and NEXO KNIGHTS are trademarks of the LEGO Group. The Money Tree is adorned with 20 tangerines, 14 red envelopes and 10 coins to represent prosperity and good luck. With so many exposed components, it is vital to preserve your LEGO brick centrepiece with a high-quality storage and display option. Thanks to the acrylic case’s minimalistic design, it easily fits on a dining table, shelf, side table or similar as part of your home décor.The drum-lacquered gold adds that bit of dazzle to these ingots, which are also symbols of prosperity. There are also 2 drum-lacquered gold ingots placed on the flat edge of the pot – I really like these, and their shaping is pretty accurate. In the UK and Europe the set released on 25 December 2022, IN Australia, January 1st and in North America January 10th 2023. Riches, rewards, prosperity and good fortune will be yours during the Year of the Rabbit with our custom-designed acrylic display case ideally sized for the LEGO® Chinese New Year Money Tree set. I like this tree, although I feel like the 'pumpkin mandarins' would perhaps have looked better when using 'BB-8 body spheres' in plain orange?
