Where it came from
The Year of the Rat set, released in 2020, was designed as part of the LEGO Group's ongoing tradition of commemorating the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. These seasonal sets are produced to honor Lunar New Year traditions and are frequently distributed as promotional items in specific regions, particularly in Asia, to celebrate the cultural significance of the new year cycle.
The model features a stylized, brick-built rat perched on a display stand decorated with red and gold elements, colors deeply associated with good fortune and prosperity in Chinese culture. The design reflects a shift toward a more expressive, approachable aesthetic common in the brand's smaller seasonal builds, emphasizing character-driven construction over complex technical assembly.
