LEGO has officially revealed its wave of Chinese New Year sets for 2025 at CIIE 2024 in Shanghai, with a number of sets to celebrate the Year of the Snake.
Five LEGO sets thought to be coming in 2025 were officially revealed at the China International Import Expo (CIIE), including three Chinese New Year sets to celebrate the Year of the Snake and two new LEGO Monkie Kid sets. Thanks to Chinese LEGO fan media MOCOZONE and BricksJoy Fun, we've got the first images of the newly revealed sets.
