One of the most interesting of the newly revealed LEGO® sets inspired by the Chinese Lunar New Year is the Lunar New Year Parade. The set features a trio of parade floats, with decorations and minifigures inspired by Chinese culture. The lead float features a giant rabbit to signify the Year of the Rabbit, with the second float including an oversized drum and the final float featuring a familiar-looking dragon, which moves as the float is pushed along. Every more exciting are the impressive line-up of 18 minifigures, these include 5 musicians, 2 masked performers, LEGO performers dressed as Monkie Kid, a pirate, an astronaut and a knight, a family of 4, 2 spectators and a Year of The Rabbit performer. These features some great new pieces and the Astronaut includes a purple helmet and air tanks, great for creating a purple variant of a Classic Space Astronaut. The 1653-piece will launch globally on Christmas Day. Check out the official images below.
