There has been much excitement today with the LEGO 2016 catalog images from carlboettcher and I think the last things we haven’t seen before are the new LEGO Elves and Minecraft sets. There will be six sets for the LEGO Elves theme which now introduces the Dragons from the storyline.

The Secret Market Place (41176)
LEGO Minecraft is still going strong in 2016 with four more sets that take place in various biomes. They introduce some new characters like Alex, the Iron Golem, and the Wither.

I’m back with more exciting news today which comes from Flickr user carlboettcher and this time, we have the new 2016 wave of LEGO Speed Champions sets. Yes, car enthusiasts rejoice as there will be seven sets coming in next year. There have been watermarked images about these sets a few months ago and that’s why I didn’t post them but now we are able to see them fairly clearly. As I mentioned before, there will be new car manufacturers included in this wave such as Chevrolet, Ford, and Audi which joins Porsche as the returning brand from 2015.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 (75870)
Ford Mustang GT (75871)
Audi R18 e-tron quattro (75872)
Audi R8 LMS Ultra (75873)
Chevrolet Camaro Drag Race (75874)
Ford F-150 Raptor Ford Model A Hot Rod (75875)
Porsche 919 Hybrid and 917K Pit-Lane (75876)
It looks like the German LEGO 2016 catalog is available and Flickr user carlboettcher has upload some images of the upcoming LEGO Super Heroes sets including the ones for Captain America: Civil War. As you can see above, there will be three sets accompanying the movie that will be released in March. Loosely translated from German, the first set is called Black Panther Pursuit (76047) which includes Captain America, Winter Soldier, and Black Panther. The next set is called Crossbones’ Hazard Heist (76050) which has Falcon, Black Widow, and Crossbones. The last set is called Super Hero Airport Battle (76051) which has Captain America, Winter Soldier, Iron Man, War Machine, Scarlet Witch, Agent 13, a micro Ant-Man, and a brick-built Giant Man.
On another page of the catalog, we get our first official look at the LEGO Mighty Micros which I briefly reported on a few days ago.
DC Comics Super Heroes
Batman vs Catwoman (76061)
Robin vs Bane (76062)
The Flash vs Captain Cold (76063)
Marvel Super Heroes
Spiderman vs Green Goblin (76064)
Captain America vs Red Skull (76065)
Hulk vs Ultron (76066)
Finally we have a new set that hasn’t been talked about with the Batman Gotham City Cycle Chase (76053). It includes Batman with a Bat-Pod, Harley Quinn with her motorcycle, and Deadshot.
Thanks to everyone who emailed in with the original source.
If you want to see what happens behind the doors of The LEGO Group, make sure to tune in to National Geographic this Sunday, December 20 at 8/7c for Inside LEGO. The show’s “Inside” series turns to the LEGO and Vice President of Design Matthew James Ashton as he shows how the company finds new LEGO Set Designers. Set your calendars/alarms/DVRs as Inside LEGO should be a very interesting episode for fans of the brick.
Thanks to Joseph for the heads up.
It looks like we’re finishing up the Battle of Endor scene today on the LEGO Star Wars 2015 Advent Calendar (75097).
If you guys missed out on the LEGO 2015 Minifigure Gift Box Set (5004077) that was on sale online a few weeks ago, you’ll be glad to know that it is back online again with the same promotion it had before. You can purchase it outright for $9.99 each or you can get it free with purchases of $39.99 or more on City, Ninjago, or Super Heroes sets. The promo lasts until December 25 online. Target stores also have the same promo going on too in their latest ad but it lasts until the end of the week. The main attraction for the box is probably the Lightning Lad minifigure.
If you’re at stores and you’ve been patiently waiting for the 2016 sets, you’ll be glad to know that a few sets have started to show up including the Kryptonite Interception (76045) for $29.99/DPCI 204-00-1517 as well as the Iron Skull Sub Attack (76048) for $29.99/DPCI 204-00-1520. Also there are reports that the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens Poe’s X-Wing Fighter (30278) polybag have shown at Target, mostly at the checkout aisles.
Thanks to Nia for the reminder.
