The LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Mighty Micros theme was introduced in 2016. The Mighty Micros sets feature slightly comical versions of iconic DC superheroes and villains paired together in mini vehicle chase scenarios. Each set typically contains two minifigures with short legs to give them a more cartoonish look and two corresponding micro vehicles. The vehicles and characters are often playfully exaggerated, providing a fun and lighthearted take on the classic DC characters. The Mighty Micros theme is aimed at younger builders.
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.
