LEGO 2016 / Promotional / LEGO Brand Store Opening Set Sets

A LEGO Brand Store Opening Set, also known as 'Grand Opening Exclusive Commemorative Sets' are typically given to a limited number of store customers during a multi-day grand opening event of a new LEGO brand retail store. During the second day of the event, for most stores, a limited number of sets, typically between 300 to 500 are given to customers who spend a minimum purchase of around $50. Each set is numbered and sets on the secondary market or pretty limited as most customers who are kids open their packs quickly.

2016 LEGO Sets

2016 saw some truly iconic releases with sets from Ghostbusters and the introduction of the Nexo Knights. LEGO also released the licensed, but short-lived The Angry Birds Movie theme. However, LEGO did discontinue Legends of Chima, Pirates and also the LEGO Simpsons which only did see a couple of sets. The Creator theme really shined in 2016 with the release of the Volkswagen Beetle (10252-1) and Big Ben (10253-1). The shining star that year for investors was certainly the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters and pretty much all the Speed Champions sets which have seen growth in the triple digits.
