Preparing for San Diego Comic Con 2026

San Diego Comic Con 2026 is about a month away and we’re 99.99% sure that LEGO will be there again for the annual event. It is one of their main summer showcase events where they’ll show off some new reveals as well as well as recently revealed sets. The floor layout hasn’t been announced yet but we can assume that they’ll be back at the usual Booth #2829, pretty much dead center of the Exhibit Hall.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of booth they have planned this year. The past few years, they have really stepped it up with the presentation and feel of the booths. In 2023, they had the LEGO Brickbuster Video Booth which recreated the old Blockbuster stores. In 2024, it was the Space-themed one since that was the year that LEGO released a ton of space sets in various themes. And last year, they had a 200,000 piece, 8,000 minifigure recreation of the San Diego Convention Center which as unofficially announced as THe Best Booth at SDCC 2025.

We’ll of course be on hand to report on any LEGO panels that will be happening. Again, we can assume that the popular LEGO Ninjago panel will be one of them. We may again see some sort of LEGO Masters one since it was renewed for a sixth season but with Nick Cannon as the host.

As for the exclusive LEGO minifigure and set giveaways, LEGO has done away with them for years now and we probably won’t see them again but … Continue

There is one more day to get your orders in for the LEGO The Lord of the Rings Grond (40893) gift with purchase set. It is only available with purchases of Minas Tirith (11377) and surprisingly it lasted through the whole promotional period.
