LEGO Lunar New Year: a dragon boat and a lion arrive in January 2027

LEGO has revealed two new sets in its Lunar New Year range: Spring Festival Voyage (80123), a large boat with a dragon head, and Prosperity Lion (40976), based on the lion dance. Both will be released in January 2027, a few weeks before the start of the Year of the Goat. They are aimed at builders aged 9 and up.

Spring Festival Voyage (80123)

The set has 1,529 pieces and measures about 11.8 in (30 cm) high, 14.2 in (36 cm) long and 10.2 in (26 cm) wide once built. The bow features a red and gold dragon head, and the large sail carries the words "Smooth sailing", a wish for prosperity in the new year. At the back, a cabin with a pagoda roof opens by removing the roof and one side, giving access to the kitchen and to a compartment where red envelopes are hidden. When the boat is pushed, the oars move back and forth, and both the sail and the rudder can be turned.

Seven minifigures are included: the father, the mother, the son, the daughter, the grandfather, the grandmother and a special minifigure dressed as a goat, the animal of 2027. Pre-orders are already open on the official LEGO shop, with shipping from 1 January 2027.
