As some of you may have noticed, LEGO has uploaded the novelties of the first half of 2016 on the LEGO Shop.

Few illustrative visuals for the moment, but each sheet at least has the merit of confirming the expected public price for France for each of these boxes and of providing us with a description in French of their content.

I am not going to list here all of the sets already referenced, which are mostly announced for December 26th. All direct links to product sheets and public prices have been updated on Pricevortex.

The ranges concerned: Star Wars, Marvel Super Heroes, City, Friends, Juniors, Ninjago, Creator, Friends, Technic, Bionicle and Classic.

Star Wars sets planned for early 2016 based on the film Star Wars: The Force Awakens are not yet online.

No big surprise regarding public prices, up or down a few euros, they are in line with those announced by amazon a few weeks ago.

Amazon US has released two versions of the box set containing the animated feature film LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Cosmic Clash and the exclusive Cosmic Boy minifigure: A single DVD box set for $ 19.98 and Blu-ray + DVD box at $ 24.98.

Before you rush on Bricklink ou on eBay to get the minifig in question, sold in loose for about twenty euros without the bag or the big one dish which serves as a support, so try to be patient, this set will inevitably end up arriving in France by March 1, 2016, the official release date of the film.

For my part, as a precaution, I placed a pre-order with amazon US, which I will cancel as soon as I am sure that the box will be offered in France.

While waiting for better, here is something to discover in more detail one of the sets of the Juniors range scheduled for early 2016 with the official visuals of the reference 10721 Iron Man vs. Loki which as its name suggests contains Iron Man and Loki with the added bonus of tesseract and ... a car.

Obviously intended for the youngest fans of LEGO and the Marvel universe, this box which should be sold at a price of 12.99 € will still join my collection, just for the principle.

Amazon has put some new products online, in particular the Ninjago boxes for the first half of 2016, the official visuals of which you will find below.

So far, the techno-medieval trend of this range hasn't really appealed to me, but these latest sets with pirates, a dash of Steampunk and a few dragons already appeal to me much more ...

No indication of price or availability for the moment, but you will find the expected public prices for Germany on Pricevortex (as well as many other visuals of the 2016 novelties).

In the order below:

This is the new rumor of the day: Barely the set 10188 Death Star is it announced outgoing that a new Death Star point the tip of his nose.

In order: The rumor starts as usual from Eurobricks or the reference 75159 The Death Star was mentioned around the corner a discussion topic and Brickset in the process added the set to their inventory, probably deeming the rumor to be true.

At this stage, nothing specific has filtered out on this possible UCS set planned for 2016. We do not know if it is a luxury playset accompanied by many minifigs in the spirit of the set. 10188 Death Star from 2008 or an exhibition model which will follow on from the reference 10143 Death Star II output in 2005.

As usual, we should be careful and take every rumor with a grain of salt: The pseudo-list opening of minifigs from the Disney series which had been widely relayed is a false list invented by a few clever little people lacking visibility. Ditto for the latest more or less surreal lists of Star Wars 2016 novelties currently circulating.
