A coin-eating Pixiu joins LEGO’s 2027 Lunar New Year lineup

SNACK: 3-line summary

LEGO has unveiled three 2027 Lunar New Year sets: a Spring Festival ship, a mythical Pixiu and a festive lion.
Spring Festival Voyage is slated for January 1, 2027, with seven minifigures and a removable cabin roof.
Prosperity Lion will be sold separately, not offered as a gift with purchase.

A Pixiu that swallows coins is joining LEGO’s 2027 Lunar New Year range—and you can retrieve them from its belly. Unveiled at the China International Import Expo in Shanghai, the three-set lineup also includes a ship carrying a family celebration and a Prosperity Lion model.

Snackgirls react

Kirari: The ship’s red, gold and teal colors make me want to photograph it. I’d arrange the minifigures around the deck table for a little New Year’s dinner scene.

Nea: The Pixiu’s coin feature makes me curious about the myth behind it. I’d like to read more about how it came to be associated with preserving wealth.

A New Year’s dinner on deck

The 1,529-piece 80123 Spring Festival Voyage seats its seven minifigures around a dinner table on the ship’s deck. The sail carries an inscription meaning “Smooth Sailing,” a wish for prosperity and abundance.

Lift off the cabin roof to reveal the kitchen, or look in the upper compartment for coins and traditional red packets. The set has an announced release date of January 1, 2027.

Feed the Pixiu, then return the coins to the tree

The 879-piece 80122 Auspicious Pixiu Under Fortune Tree pairs a poseable mythical creature with a golden-leaved tree. In Chinese mythology, the Pixiu eats precious metals and is associated with preserving wealth.

The model turns that idea into a play feature: take coins from the tree, feed them to the Pixiu, then retrieve them from its belly to put back on the branches.

Prosperity Lion is a standalone set

The 411-piece 40976 Prosperity Lion depicts the lion seen in Chinese New Year celebrations. It will be available to buy on its own, not as a gift with purchase.
