"Year of the Ox is a competent but unspectacular entry in the zodiac animal series that earns Mixed Reviews: critics found the ox a less inspiring subject than some predecessors and noted minimal design evolution, making this a clear buy for series completionists and a skip for everyone else."
The Year of the Ox lands in Mixed Reviews territory, with two expert reviewers offering a measured take on a set that is pleasant but not exceptional outside of its zodiac collector context. Both reviewers acknowledge the articulated limbs, new printed eyes, and attractive circular base, while pointing to limited design innovation and the ox not being the most visually compelling zodiac subject. Owner data is thin at only 14 Walmart ratings averaging 4.93, which likely reflects the gift-with-purchase demographic rather than a broad critical consensus.

"Even before the LEGO Group began to focus on the Chinese market since 2013 they have created a LEGO 'Year of the' set based on animals from the Chinese Zodiac."
