The LEGO Star Wars Buildable Characters theme, referred to as Constraction figures, consists of poseable action-figure-like models built using ball-joint and technic components, reminiscent of LEGO Bionicle or Hero Factory sets. Different from traditional brick-built LEGO Star Wars sets, this line showcases prominent characters from the Star Wars universe, like Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, in a larger, more articulated format. These figures often come with interactive features such as spring-loaded shooters or lightsaber actions, offering both a distinct building experience and play functionality.
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.
