LEGO Captain America Civil War is a subtheme of Marvel initially released in 2016 based on the film Captain America: Civil War produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. Sets are based on the film's plot in which political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability when the actions of the Avengers lead to collateral damage. This deeply divides members of the team as Captain America believes superheroes should remain free to defend humanity without government interference and Iron Man sharply disagrees and supports oversight.
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.
