LEGO ICONS (formerly LEGO Creator Expert) is a theme focused on more advanced models that includes builds of landmarks, modular buildings, classic vehicles, pop culture builds, and home décor sets. This theme caters to experienced builders looking for intricate and detailed projects, offering a rewarding building experience with high levels of realism and complexity. Each set is designed to provide not just a construction challenge but also a display-worthy model that can be appreciated for its craftsmanship and attention to detail.
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.
