This set has been revealed as a gift with purchase throughout January 2025, in conjunction with Spring Festival celebrations later in the month. The threshold for this set has not been revealed at the time of writing, but has been reported as being a relatively high £135. That said, there are lots of new sets about to be released, including the 10355 Blacktron Renegade and the 10350 Tudor Corner Modular Building, along with the international release of the Chinese New Year sets, new sets from City, Creator 3in1, Friends and more, so reaching that threshold should not be too hard.

This set was sent to us by the LEGO Group for review purposes, but all opinions are our own. Let’s take a look, and see what you think.

The set comes in a square box with a picture of the two models , and other set details on one side while on the reverse, there is a place to address the set as a gift. There is a small sticker sheet, with two stickers measuring 4×4 studs each. My good friends at Google assure me that the Chinese script on one translates as ‘Spring’, and ‘Blessings’ on the other.

The set contained 2 plastic bags. Lots of red elements: especially plates and of various shapes and life preservers. There are some yellow plates and studs, while dark red elements are used for some of the detail: particularly the 1×1 arched elements. There are two identical coins, printed on a 2×2 pearl gold tile. On close inspection there are are some subtle differences in the contents of each bag. But is the construction essentially the same, with only different Extra Pieces to tell them apart? Lets build the models in parallel.

The set comes with 2 manuals – one for bag one, the other for bag 2. I recommend building this set with a friend or family member: both builds look pretty similar and repetitive. It is possibly better to share the load.

We start with a base, set up with some angled plates, giving a lattice like feel. [in this process, bag one is on the left, bag two) is on the right.

We extend the corners with 3 identical clip/life preserver assemblies (twice) and a different

We build up a collection of rings, resembling loops in a knot, around the edges (so far both builds remain identical)

Some Dark red elements add additional depth and texture to the knots.

We complete the dark red detailing, build up the frame around the coinand add some tassles to the model

finally, we add the stickers to the 4×4 tiles, sealing in the coins.

The final results are satisfying, aesthetically pleasing and easily hung from a piece of string should you wish to.

Traditionally, Chinese Knots acted as good luck charms to ward off evil spirits. Today, they serve as decorations during celebrations. There is some evidence of the craft existing as around 4000 years ago. Coins serve as symbols of good luck, success and prosperity, and incorporating them into the knot, adds to their good fortune.

With moset GWPs, I want to savour the build by myself. Due to the repetitive nature of the build, I’d be very happy to share it with a friend. It is not complicated, but is certainly satisfying. Hopefully, building this up will bring you good luck for the year.

What are your thoughts of this GWP? It is likely to stack with other GWPs coming out, including the 40757 Corner Kiosk with the new modular, as well as the 40707 Year of the Snake. This is the one GWP I make a point of getting every year. this model is continuing on one of the longest running GWP series that we have ever seen. This is typically available in Australia with purchases of $88AUD or more, but international mileage does vary.
