10250-1: Year Of The Snake Availability

Post by Claybricks »

Has anyone seen "Year Of The Snake" set sold anywhere locally or online? Chinese New Year was February 10, so it should be released by now.

According to Brickset:

To celebrate the Chinese Year of the Snake. Available in Carrefour, China, Jan 2013.

I didn't think much of it at first, but heck that door is cool, as is MORE DARK RED!

Ebay has it up to $86

ETA: It looks like the door is a round decorated plate/tile

Got a relative in China to buy me one. Cost her over $50 CDN! :| Was hoping for another, but I can't justify paying $100 for a couple of exclusive pieces.

The great thing is, this set comes with one of those cool storage containers.

Cool storage container?

You probably should buy a few and resell them and help defray your cost.

The store only had two anyways. Plus, I need to find someone who is willing to haul this big box back to me in BC.
