LEGO 2016 / Promotional / Minifigure Sets

The LEGO promotional minifigure theme encompasses a variety of exclusive minifigures released as promotional items or for special events. Notable figures include Lester, a distinctive character representing the Leicester Square LEGO store in London; Michele Mouton, commemorating the renowned French rally driver; and Biff Starling, an astrobot figure tied to the LEGO Discovery Center. The theme also includes the Brick Friday 2019 Minifigure, part of a Black Friday promotion. These sets were typically available for limited times, often at specific events or through special promotions, making them highly sought after by collectors.

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.
