LEGO Year of the Rat Set 40355

Product Information

Over all, I really enjoyed building this set: with the lions spread out between other elements of the model. One includes a dragon motif on a dark blue tile, while the other is a geometric design printed on a teal tile, giving the impression of caved jade.

With red pillars, teal details, and a roof making the most of the ‘plate 1x1x2/3 with outside bow’ in orange, it also sees the use of golden frogs for detail at the corners. Both sets feature an incredible amount of new prints, recoloring of pieces and a significant amount of minifigures which all combine into a large festival setting. The build is not complicated (evidenced by the 8+ label), but there is a meditative aspect to the contruction of similar elements, which surprisingly never became boring.

The orange and flame yellowish orange make for a nice contrasting pattern on the roof, and we also see ‘gold ingots’ of each color debut here.

The rats that occasionally invade my backyard are a bit bigger than this but his stance, his little ears, his bare tail and even his hands are all pretty spot on.Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH).
