The Hollywood Reporter has revealed the third exclusive minifigure that LEGO will be giving away at San Diego Comic Con 2014. Today, the news is themed towards The Hobbit and Bard the Bowman will be the minifigure that attendees will be trying to get. This version of Bard the Bowman will have an unique outfit and is different from the one in the Lake-Town Chase (79013). The article notes that to avoid the debacle of last year, the people running the booth will implement a system where they would scan an attendee’s badge to determine the winners of the exclusive minifigures.
Also at SDCC 2014 will be a LEGO statue of Smaug built by Erik Varszegi. It took Erik 625 hours to design and create and it stands over 6 feet tall, 64″ long (5 1/3 feet) by 88″ wide (7 1/3 feet). It is built with 83,433 pieces and weighs a whopping 411 lbs. It will be displayed at the Warner Bros. booth (#4545).

There goes my chance to finish my LotR/Hobbit collection. Thank you, TLG.
Don’t be do sure Xenomurphy, I felt the same way after the Azog giveaway last year, but then hey presto! It also came in a set, In my mind there’s no doubt this minifig will be included in one of the 3rd wave sets, the ‘exclusive’ part of the giveaway is that the lucky ones at SSDC get it several months early.
That would be nice, but I doubt it. Azog was an additional giveaway, none of the regular ones, and limited to 100 if I remember it correctly. TLG needed to make new molds for Azog – too expensive for only 100 minifigs.
Bard is just one of the four regular giveaways like last year’s Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Superman and Green Arrow and none of them appeared in any set. It is sad that TLG is still doing this to their loyal fans and customers.
Is this one of those gotta be in the right place right time give away mini figs? Or is this for sale one of the days at SDCC?
You don’t even have to wait anymore. You can just get your badge scanned an be on your way.
That sounds too easy. What are if any the exclusives sets to purchase this year? I got the Darth Maul with tin two years ago. My buddy is giving me money to get him an exclusive but not if it’s something he doesn’t collect. Thanks
