Where it came from
The Year of the Rooster set, numbered 40234-1, was released by LEGO in 2017 as a seasonal promotional item. This set was designed to honor the Chinese Zodiac, specifically the Year of the Rooster, following a tradition of releasing brick-built representations of the zodiac animals to coincide with the Lunar New Year celebrations in Asian markets.
The model features a stylized, articulated rooster built with a vibrant color palette of red, yellow, and orange, which are traditionally associated with luck and prosperity. The design utilizes standard system bricks to create a recognizable, blocky aesthetic that has become a hallmark of these commemorative seasonal sets, receiving a warm reception from collectors who appreciate the cultural specificity of the theme.
