Top 10 LEGO 2016 Sets

December 28, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I’ve had quite a few readers asking if I would do a post about my top 10 LEGO sets of 2016. Since this is the last week of the year, I guess this is now a good time to do that post. According to Brickset, there was 828 sets released this year, including gift with purchase sets, so whittling it down to 10 is quite hard to do. Again, this is just my list of top 10 sets and may vary from other people.

10. LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters (75827)

Probably one of the best items for any Ghostbusters fan is the Firehouse Headquarters (75827). Coming in at over 4,600 pieces, there is a ton of little details from both the original Ghostbusters movies that you can find. Check out my review of the set here.

9. LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057)

As one of the largest non-D2C LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set to be released, the Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge (76057) is a great set with lots of exclusive minifigures included such as Scarlet Spider and Kraven. Many fans have even bought two sets to make a complete bridge.

8. LEGO Creator Vacation Getaways (31052)

This 3-in-1 set is a pretty neat set that looks great as the standard model but can also be rebuilt into a summer home and a yacht. The RV is one of the best models of this type of vehicle I’ve seen.

LEGO Technic 40th Anniversary Brick in 2017 Sets

November 10, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

2017 will mark the 40th anniversary of the LEGO Techinc theme. As I mentioned in the winter 2017 rumor post, the sets will come with a commemorative brick to celebrate the event. LEGO has started to upload official images to their servers and sure enough, one of the bricks that will be included in the 2017 sets will be one of these commemorative bricks. As you can see above, it is a 1×3 beam with the words “40 1977-2017” printed on it.

LEGO Winter 2017 Rumored Set List

August 11, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

It’s about that time of the year when we start hearing about next year’s LEGO sets and it looks like CM4Sci and others over on Eurobricks has a list of rumored Winter 2017 sets from a number of LEGO themes. There’s also talks of some of the movies sets next year including The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie.

A lot of the sets listed do not have set names and if they do, they’re not 100% accurate as they are probably translated. The pricing listed are in Euros. As usual, keep in mind that these are purely rumors until they are confirmed by a approved source such as LEGO’s servers, Amazon, or an online toy shop.
