The 2016 Nuremberg Toy Fair is still going on and PromoBricks is still giving out tidbids about some of the summer sets we should be expecting. You may have noticed that there were no photography for the upcoming Star Wars sets. There are reports saying that LEGO wants to keep a couple of the sets under wraps because it involves a new LEGO Star Wars property for later this year. However, there are some details of the 2016 Advent Calendar (75146). If you don’t want to be spoiled, I suggest STOP reading now.
**SPOILER WARNING**
According to PromoBricks, there will be 10 minifigures in the set including a chrome C-3PO, a white Chewbacca, and a Stormtrooper snowman. For the mini-builds, you see some of the usual vehicles like Boba Fett’s Slave I, a TIE Advanced, an A-Wing, the Blockade Runner, and a Republic Attack Cruiser. We’ve already seen some of these builds in previous advent calendars so we’ll see how LEGO has updated them for this year.
Again, pictures weren’t allowed at this event but hopefully we get to see something at the New York Toy Fair next month.

YES!! A chrome C-3PO! Finally we don’t have to spend more than $500 for one!
Yes, but will it be somewhat close to the original, or will it be a holiday chrome one with doodads or christmas-y stuff all over it?
Darn, you have a good point. I hope it’s a movie one, and it probably will be because the Advent Calendar for 2015 had a Christmas C-3PO
