LEGO News, LEGO Reviews, and Discussions
LEGO has been slowly uploading the new 2016 sets to their servers and the latest set that we haven’t seen before is the LEGO Star Wars Homing Spider Droid (75142). The set contains 310 pieces and is pretty similar to previous incarnation of the set in 75016. This one includes minifigures of Yoda, an Elite Corps Clone Trooper, and two Battle Droids. Check out the rest of the LEGO Star Wars winter 2016 wave sets over on my previous post.

Today we continue on with the Hoth theme for the LEGO Star wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) with a returning build from a previous year.
Today I have a short review of the LEGO December 2015 Christmas Tree Ornament (5003083). It was only available for a week with purchases of $50 or more at LEGO Brand stores and on Shop@Home. This is the second year that LEGO has done this particular promotion with last year being the Christmas Train (5002813) and this one comes in at 32 pieces.
Like with the previous one, it does come in a resealable packaging with protects the inner fabric bag that holds the set. The tree itself is pretty simple with the usual building techniques of stacking the sloped pieces. There are some printed pieces like the envelope tile as well as the 2015 tile which is exclusive to the ornament. At the top, you have the Technic axle connector which allows you to tie the gold cord to hang it up.
Overall, it’s a pretty nice little exclusive that LEGO has included with their promo and I hope that it continues next year as well. If you missed out on it, the parts are very common minus the 2015 1×2 tile and the cord that LEGO has included. The instructions are below if you want to make your own.
With yesterday’s news of the 2016 LEGO set images coming out, LEGO has made the English (European) version of the January-June 2016 catalog publicly available for everyone to check out. We can now clearly see the sets as well as the official names of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets like the Captain America: Civil War ones.
Thanks to Robert for the heads up.
It looks like the countdown to the end of the LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097) begins with first item for the Hoth theme.

Yes, car enthusiasts rejoice as there will be seven sets coming in next year.
