LEGO Money Tree (40648)

Product Information

These little trees are a typical sight in homes of those that celebrate the Lunar New Year, and I really love what LEGO have . Lego did fantastic job with the bonsai tree, it's a shame they went here with such an inorganic build. Read more about the condition New: A brand-new, unused, unopened and undamaged item in original retail packaging (where packaging is applicable). I consider this a LEGO Botanical set, joining the likes of 10311 Orchid, and 10309 Succulents, as it’s really a brick-built shrub, with some decorations hanging from it.

Mandarin or kumquat trees are associated with wealth and good fortune in China, and apparently it's common to see pairs of them, decorated with red envelopes, either side of doorways during Chinese New Year.I see the Money Tree as something he can rebuild more quickly and independently each year so that we can display it on our mantel. The set offers no playability, but it does make a lovely display model, particularly when placed between the two .

And hey according to tradition, having a LEGO Money Tree in your home should bless you with good fortune and prosperity, which we all need to afford all the new and exciting LEGO sets coming in 2023. This 336-piece depicts a mini kumquat/tangerine tree, decorated with gold coins and red envelopes, which are symbols of good fortune and prosperity. Here’s a look at the printed coins, which represent ancient chinese coins, which have the signature square cutout in the middle.I love re-envisioning parts, but even I'm having trouble not seeing those as pumpkins in this particular instance. Lunar New Year is around the corner, which means that it’s time to take out the trash—literally and figuratively. Don’t completely overlook 40648 Money Tree, as its versatility may surprise you – even for those who have no context of its cultural significance. Some of my older children’s clothing (such as their Hanna Andersson pajamas, one of our favorite sets for kids because they last so long) gets tucked into storage bins and saved for my youngest to grow into. The LEGO® Lunar New Year Money Tree (40648) set is a delightfully detailed model featuring Chinese New Year decorations such as tangerines, red envelopes and coins.
