Well, well, well, it looks like LEGO is gearing up to ring in the Year of the Snake with not one, but two rumored Chinese New Year sets for January 2026.
Two new LEGO Chinese New Year sets—product numbers 80118 and 80119—are reportedly launching in January 2026, keeping up LEGO’s tradition of celebrating Lunar New Year festivities.
I have to admit, after seeing how stunning the previous Chinese Traditional Festivals sets have been, I’m practically bouncing in my seat. What kind of dragons, lanterns, and lucky symbols could be on the way this time?
Now, before you start clearing out your LEGO budget faster than dumplings disappear at a family gathering, remember—these are still just rumors floating around the brick community.
But let’s be real, LEGO’s been pretty consistent with their Chinese New Year releases, so odds are good we’ll see some gorgeous builds landing in January.
I’ve been digging for every juicy detail about these mysterious sets, from possible themes to what we might expect based on LEGO’s past Lunar New Year magic.
If you’re a fan of intricate cultural builds, or just love ringing in the new year with some quality brick time, this is worth keeping an eye on.
Set Numbers 80118 and 80119: What We Know So Far
The LEGO Group is keeping things mysterious about these upcoming Chinese New Year builds.
Set 80118 details are totally under wraps—I couldn’t find a single concrete detail about what it actually contains.
Set 80119 seems to be the pricier sibling of the duo.
This set will reportedly cost $109.99 in the US, €99.99 in Europe, and £89.99 in the UK.
Early rumors suggest 80119 might feature a traditional family reunion scene. That’s about as specific as the leaked info gets right now.
Both sets follow LEGO’s established Chinese New Year numbering pattern in the 801xx series.
The company has been releasing these themed sets annually, so two sets for 2026 isn’t exactly a shocker.
Expected Release Date and Availability
Mark your calendars for January 1st, 2026—that’s when these sets are supposed to hit shelves. LEGO has a thing for kicking off the new year with their Chinese New Year releases, and it looks like 2026 will keep that tradition alive.
The timing checks out, since Chinese New Year usually lands in late January or February. Dropping the sets on January 1st gives collectors and gift-buyers a nice head start.
I stumbled across a UPC code (673419419369) and a Target DPCI number (204-00-5861) for set 80119 in some leaked info. These codes hint that retail plans are already in motion.
Both sets are expected to launch at the same time in all the usual markets where LEGO does their seasonal Chinese New Year lineup.
