With the doors opening today at the Nuremberg Toy Fair Lego revealed it’s 2016 play-sets. Ranging from Mixels to Angry Birds to Disney Princessand Star Wars they certainly have the bases loaded. Most impressive is a huge Lego Technic Bucket Wheel Excavator.
There was a strong use of franchise tie-in sets again this year. This included Lego The Angry Bird Movie, Lego Super Heroes Mighty Micros and LegoMixels Series 7, Series 8 and Series 9 sets each of which sported a related franchise with other activity this year.

Lego The Angry Birds Movie sets will support the film, but are also interesting in their own right. The video-game play mechanic feels ripe for an appearance in the Lego Dimensions video-game.
Mixels are collect-able characters that can be combined to make fantasy creations. They are supported by a Cartoon Network show of the same name. Series 4, 5 and 6 did well last year and the addition of Series 7, 8 and 9 looks set to extend this.
