San Diego Comic Con 2015 Day 4 Recap

July 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I’ve finally had some time to finish up my daily coverage of San Diego Comic Con 2015 with the last day of the convention. For Sunday, I didn’t try to get any of the exclusive LEGO sets since I already got all three of them the previous days so I pretty much roamed around the exhibit hall until the first panel which was the world premiere showing of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom. The movie was pretty good and had a decent plot. As for Trickster, who is also the exclusive minifigure with the movie, he shows up right at the beginning. That’s all I’ll say about that. At the end, there was also a very brief panel moderated by Greg Miller and consisting of Troy Baker, Josh Keaton, Khary Payton, Brandon Vietti, Rick Morales, and Jim Krieg.

After that, I headed off to the next panel which was the LEGO Ninjago one and apparently there are a lot of Ninjago fans because there was a huge line for it. I’ve did a recap of that panel and yes, there will be another season coming with hints of there being pirates included.

For the last panel of the day, it was the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes one which gave attendees an inside look at the development process of some of the recent LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets, animated content, and the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game. The panel consisted of Marcos Bessa, Adam Corbally, Jason Cosleer, Cort … Continue

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2015 Exclusives Giveaway

July 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 13 Comments

I hear you guys like giveaways so here’s another one that you may be interested in. As you can see from the image above, I have a whole set of LEGO SDCC exclusives that I will be giving away. You may ask how did I get two sets of exclusives. You may not know this but I had my brother stand in line with me at Comic Con and he was able to get a whole set himself. Since he isn’t into LEGO as much as I am, we came to a mutual agreement to give me the exclusives and here we are.

So my question for you guys is what kind of giveaway do you want? Would you like to have three separate giveaways for each individual exclusive or just one giveaway for all three exclusives. I made a Straw Poll and you can vote on your choice. The one with the most votes will be the giveaway that will be done. I’ll let this run for about a week or so to let the votes populate. This will be a worldwide giveaway so that people who weren’t able to attend SDCC have a chance to win them.

The fate is in your hands. Choose wisely.

2015 Third Quarter LEGO Store Build-A-Minifigure Bar Elements

LEGO Store Build-A-Minifigure 3rd Quarter 2015

At the beginning of July, LEGO Stores changed out their Build-A-Minifigure bar and there are now some new elements for you to choose from. I picked out every single part of each element I could find at the station so some of the parts might be leftovers from last quarter.

For the torsos above, the most notable ones I found was the Kingdoms lion torso and the Monster Fighters jacket.

For the legs, there isn’t much that stand out. There is the Curtis Bolt Ultra Agents black legs with the blue screen that could be useful for some sci-fi characters. The blue jeans are good for any general use. Finally the white spaceman ones are also available.

For the head accessories, I’m not sure which ones are for this quarter because I forgot to document which ones were for last quarter so here’s everything I could find from my store. The selection at your store may vary but there should be some of these in all locations. As you can see, there’s a nice variety to choose from.

For the heads, again I apologize for not being sure which ones are from this quarter’s change out since my store was out of the new heads last quarter. However what I found in this selection are some pretty cool ones like the ghost head from Lord of the Rings and a couple of the female Ultra Agents ones.
