LEGO at San Diego Comic Con 2026

July 21, 2026 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

San Diego Comic Con 2026 officially kicks off tomorrow with Preview Night and it looks like LEGO will have a fairly quiet year this time around. LEGO will have two panels this week with the main one being the LEGO Ninjago one that many fans on X are excited about. The other is a Star Trek related one that will either show off the already released USS Enterprise or something new.

There won’t be any exclusives again as those days are long behind us. They’ll probably have some posters or magazines to give out. There was sort of a scavenger hunt last year with the main display but we’re not sure what they have in store for this year.

As for any new LEGO reveals, we don’t know yet if they have anything in store but last year, they did show off some new sets so fingers crossed we’ll see something. I’m not sure if the LEGO Ideas The X-Files (21369) counts but it is during Comic Con week.
