SDCC 2015 LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build

If you’re attending San Diego Comic Con next week and want to get in on the LEGO exclusives, FBTB has given some more details about the drawings, more specifically the days in which the exclusives are sold. We already knew that there will be drawings for the three exclusive sets but we now know that you can’t purchase all of them in one day like previous years.

For this year, each set will only be available a particular day so if you want to get all three sets, you’ll have to stand in line each day to enter the raffles. Sunday is a wildcard day as they will be doing a drawing for all tickets that haven’t been redeemed from Thursday to Saturday. If you were hoping to get the LEGO exclusives on Preview Night, you’re out of luck because nothing will be sold or given away on that day.

Thursday: LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Action Comics #1 Superman™
Friday: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Throne of Ultron™
Saturday: LEGO Star Wars™ Dagobah™ Mini-Build
Sunday: There will be a drawing for tickets that have not been redeemed on this day

Nothing will be sold or given away on Wednesday, Preview Night.
