Take a Break from SDCC and Check Out the LEGO Store

LEGO Store February 2014 Mini Monthly Build Event

If you’re from out of town attending San Diego Comic Con 2014 and want to take a little break from all the hustle and bustle of everything that is going on there, remember that San Diego does have a LEGO Store conveniently located at the Fashion Valley Mall. The MTS Trolley is right there at the mall and the Green Line runs every 10 minutes all the way down to the convention center. If you’re driving there, the address is 7007 Friars Rd, Space 965A, San Diego CA 92108.

The LEGO Store is located right next to the food court on the second level and you can’t miss it. Although, the LEGO booth at SDCC doesn’t have a Pick-A-Brick wall, the physical store does and it has a nice variety of elements that is stocked by my very good friend Genevieve. Also remember that the LEGO Creator MINI Cooper MK VII (10242) is now available for VIPs there and the LEGO Star Wars summer wave sets are also now in stock at the store. So check it out if you have some time. Tell them I sent you 😉

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Green Lantern vs Sinestro (76025) Revealed

July 23, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 11 Comments

I was out checking out some stuff at San Diego Comic Con 2014 when I saw this news come in my feed. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my laptop with me and I started getting emails about it from number people but this piece of news is well worth the wait. Kotaku has revealed that we are finally getting a set with Green Lantern. Yes, Green freaking Lantern! The set is the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Green Lantern vs Sinestro (76025).

In January 2015, we will finally be getting a set with the Green Lantern minifigure. Earlier today, we reported of an image posted by LEGO that may suggest that we could be seeing him in a future set. A few hours later, bam! There’s no piece count on the set but we do know that it will retail for $19.95. The set will consist of Mr. Hal Jordan, aka Green Lantern, and his nemesis, Sinestro. If that wasn’t enough, a white Space Batman minifigure that was featured in LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is also included.

Now that this set has been revealed, fans that have been waiting for a Green Lantern minifigure can be relieved that their dream has finally come true. The set will be on display at SDCC 2014 this week and we’ll get an up close look at it.

Zur-En-Arrh Batman Revealed as Exclusive Minifigure at SDCC 2014

July 22, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

FBTB has just dropped one of the biggest bombshells for LEGO at San Diego Comic Con 2014. Ace has revealed that LEGO will be giving away the DC Comics Zur-En-Arrh Batman as one of their exclusive minifigures. Although there are no images at this time, the outfit will probably look similar to the one picture above. Zur-En-Arrh will probably be given away either Friday or Saturday and The Collector on the day that’s left over. This will probably be one of the most sought for minifigures this year at SDCC. Check out the details of the giveaway process here.

If you’re not familiar with Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, he was first introduced by France Herron as an alien named Tlano from the planet Zur-En-Arrh. Later on in Grant Morrison’s version, he was brought back as Bruce Wayne’s backup personality in case Batman was mindwiped or driven to insanity.

Update: Back in May, LEGO released an image (see below) promoting LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham. Batman is shown standing in front of different suits and also pictured was the Zur-En-Arrh outfit which could be the one that will be given out at SDCC. Thanks to Dave for the reminder.
