LEGO 2016 / Mixels Sets

In 2016 LEGO released 30 Mixels sets across 3 subthemes. The largest Mixels set from 2016 was Mixels Series 8 Sealed Box with a piece count of 588 and a retail price of $149.99. The current estimated value of all these Mixels sets from this year is about $1,438.21 which represents a 246% growth.

The LEGO Mixels theme was introduced 2014 as part of a collaborative between LEGO and Cartoon Network. The Mixels consisted of nine waves of sets over three years and was discontinued after the third 2016 wave. In addition to sets, the Mixels collab included a TV series featured on Cartoon Network that ran for 2 seasons.

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.
