As if to make me lie about the lack of photos of the LEGO Star Wars novelties of the second half of 2016, here is an overview of what LEGO is showing on its booth at the Toy Fair in Nuremberg (Note however the nice symbol indicating that photos are prohibited ...).

The following sets are distinguished from left to right below: 75151 Clone Turbo Tank, 75150 Darth Vader's Tie Advanced vs A-Wing Starfighter, 75149 Resistance X-Wing Fighter, 75145 Eclipse Fighter, 75148 Encounter on Jakku and at the bottom the set 75157 Captain Rex's AT-TE Walker.

Above right, a view of the set box 75147 Star Scavenger.

Sets 75145 Eclipse Fighter et 75147 Star Scavenger are derivatives of a new LEGO Star Wars animated series titled "The Freemaker Adventures"which has yet to be officially announced.

Update : Below, a photo of the contents of the Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016 (75146), views of the set 75151 Clone Turbo Tank and a video of Game test in which we discover the line-up of Star Wars minifigs of 2016.

Looks like the types of promobricks got a little carried away: The C-3PO minifig is not chrome, it is just gray which makes it more like a TC-14 or an E-3PO ... Chewbacca is indeed totally white with a look "Yeti"...

As you can see, LEGO does not allow photos of LEGO Star Wars products from the second half of 2016 on display at its booth at the Toy Fair in Nuremberg.
We must therefore be satisfied with the descriptions posted online by those who have been able to see the planned sets and who therefore appeal to their memory to offer us a vague idea of ​​the content of these boxes.

This is the case for the set 75146 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2016. According to the description available, the next LEGO Star Wars Advent calendar would obviously bring together a long series of micro-things including this year a Slave I, a Tie Advanced, an A-Wing, a Blockade Runner and a Republican Attack Cruiser.

On the minifig side, we are told about ten characters including a C-3PO "chromium"Or"sparkling"according to the translation made of the German term"chromeblitzender", a white Chewbacca and a Stormtrooper"Snowman".

To be confirmed from February 13 with the opening of the New York Toy Fair. By this date, we should get the visuals of all the minifigs delivered in this calendar which at first glance looks rather interesting ...

LEGO finally communicate on the opening of the next French LEGO Store and this new official 400 m2 store will therefore open its doors on April 6 in the heart of the Forum des Halles in Paris.

Please note, this is only the opening of the store, not the official inauguration with a crowd and gifts which will probably take place (a lot) later in the year.

The initiative went almost unnoticed during the surge of visuals of the new LEGO products for the second half of the year that has just taken place from Nuremberg and yet it deserves to be talked about: LEGO will finally deliver in the City set 60134 Fun at the Park his first minifigure representing a disabled person.

Among the 14 minifigs provided in this box, which is scheduled to be released next summer, is a young boy in his wheelchair. According to the visual of the box, the child is obviously accompanied by a dog, without knowing if the animal has a function that goes beyond simple company.

It's good news. LEGO thus reacts in a concrete way to the criticisms concerning the lack of diversity in the content of its products and joins Playmobil which had announced in May 2015 the marketing of products featuring characters affected by various disabilities.

Playmobil had also reacted to the awareness campaign ToysLikeMe whose organizers had also challenged LEGO on the absence of characters with a disability in its range of minifigs.

Each child, disabled or not, who will play with the contents of this box will be confronted with this character. It will then be up to parents to take the time to explain to children who are not directly concerned by the problem of disability what this chair represents with a seated minifigure.

Live from the Toy Fair 2016 currently taking place in Nuremberg (Germany), here are some visuals of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets 76057 Spider-Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle, 76058 Ghost Rider Team-Up et 76059 Doc Ock's Tentacle Trap.

As the close-up on the Marvel minifigs finally confirms (below), White Tiger does use the "cap"from Black Panther in white.

Below, the visuals of the DC Comics sets for the second half of the year: 76054 Scarecrow Harvest of Fear et 76055 Killer Croc Sewer Smash.

Finally, the LEGO Juniors set 10724 Batman & Superman vs Lex Luthor :
