Pictures of an interesting LEGO set have been circulating for a while now with a mysterious Chinese Dragon. A lot of people thought the preliminary images were fake, but in fact it turned out to be a genuine LEGO set, although limited edition. The set I’m talking about is the #10250 LEGO Year of the Snake. Check it out below! 🙂
It appears that the #10250 LEGO Year of the Snake set is a variation of the #6914 LEGO Creator Prehistoric Hunters set released in 2012, with extra instructions and parts to build the Chinese Dragon and that beautiful gateway with two snakes printed on the door.
The LEGO Year of the Snake set seems to be an exclusive to Asian markets (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.) as most of the writing on the box and the instructions are in Chinese only. 😕
At least to me the most exciting part in the Chinese Dragon set is the printed round door with the two red snakes. It is a really exclusive piece I would love to get my hands on, and hope will eventually show up on BrickLink and other online LEGO marketplaces.
If you own the #6914 LEGO Creator Prehistoric Hunters set (or if you just want to try to build the Chinese Dragon from your current LEGO collection) you can download the building instructions as a PDF file here: DOWNLOAD LEGO YEAR OF THE SNAKE INSTRUCTIONS
If you don’t have the #6914 LEGO Creator Prehistoric Hunters, you can get it directly from the Online LEGO Shop, then use the instruction above to build the Chinese Dragon. Unfortunately you won’t have that gorgeous gateway, but at least you would have an awesome dragon! 😀
So what do you think? How do you like the LEGO Year of the Snake set? And for our Asian readers; have you seen this set already? Would love to know if it is already on the market! Let us know, and share your thoughts in the comment section below! 😉
The New Year is here, and LEGO wants to make sure it starts out with a bang! So many new and exciting sets have been released already for the New Year (you can read about them here: More 2013 LEGO Sets are Now Available!) and LEGO released a bunch of new 2013 LEGO set videos to let you know about them and highlight all the playability and cool features. I thought to share with you some of the best ones. 😛
➡ 2013 LEGO LEGEND OF CHIMA VIDEO: this new theme is being heavily marketed by LEGO right now (see: LEGO Legends of Chima – More News!).

➡ 2013 LEGO NINJAGO VIDEO: the future of Ninjago is still a bit uncertain, however there is a whole new wave of sets that are still worth checking out. They came out right around Christmas, so it is likely that many people missed them. If you are a Ninjago fans the Golden Ninja is definitely a must! And some of the smaller sets are also really nice.

➡ 2013 LEGO CITY VIDEO: more police and firefighter action – a perennial favorite of the target age-group. One set I particularly like is the #6007 LEGO City High Speed Chase with Chase McCain and those 6-stud wide vehicles.

➡ 2013 LEGO FRIENDS VIDEO: the LEGO theme developed just for girls continues to go strong. This year a lot of small sets and a couple of medium sets have been added to let the Heartlake City girls branch out into different and diverse hobbies.
