Yesterday, it was revealed that there will be an exclusive LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket’s Warbird sold at San Diego Comic Con 2014. The Wall Street Journal has also revealed two other sets that will be sold at the event: a classic Batmobile from the television series and the Ghost from the Star Wars Rebels animated TV show. There are no images of the set but the article notes the sets will be sold for $39.99 each and there will be 1,000 sets available with 250 sold each day.

LEGO seems to be going all out this year at SDCC 2014 with all the exclusives on hand. Stay tuned for more details as these exclusives are slowly being revealed every day.

LEGO Guardians of the Galazy - The Collector SDCC 2014 Exclusive Minifigure

The Wall Street Journal has revealed that LEGO will again be giving out four minifigures this year at San Diego Comic Con 2014. They have revealed that The Collector from LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy will be one of these minifigures.

Now that we know that LEGO will again be giving away these minifigures, many people, including scalpers, will be trying to get their hands on one of these minifigures. There’s no word yet on how the giveaways will be handled given last year’s debacle.

LEGO Wall Redesign by Bruce Lowell

July 17, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

It’s always interesting to see how other builders’ store their LEGO collection. Renowned brick artist Bruce Lowell has recently redesigned his studio and he has documented the changes on his site to show what he has done to reorganize his collection. Bruce explains the different types of storage containers he uses to organize his bricks including Stock-On, Sterilite, Darice, and Plano.

After seeing images of his finished wall, I emailed Bruce asking how he sorts his LEGO elements. Some people may sort by color and some may sort by type. Bruce does a combination of both. Bruce notes that he sorts about 70% of his part types excluding all bricks and plates, slopes, wings/wedges, less used and larger parts (such as panels, wheels, animals, TECHNIC, house parts). However, he does sort all non-printed minifigure body parts, accessories, small hinges, rare slopes and small curved slopes, detailed pieces such as bars and taps, small animal parts, transparent parts, tiles, SNOT bricks, and much more. Each of these part types and the containers that hold them are contingent on the amount that he has in each color family.

Check out how Bruce redesigned his wall on his website and maybe it’ll give you some inspiration when it is time to reorganize your building area.

LEGO Marvel GOTG Rocket’s Warbird SDCC 2014 Exclusive

LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy - SDCC 2014 Exclusive - Rocket's Warbird

The Wall Street Journal has revealed one of this year’s San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusive sets, the LEGO Marvel Guardians of the Galaxy Rocket’s Warbird. The set will include 145 pieces and will retail for $39.99. Rocket Raccoon will have a different outfit than what he has with the Knowhere Escape Mission (76020), sporting the Guardians of the Galaxy outfit in this exclusive.

If you are going to be at SDCC 2014, be prepared to wait a long time in line to pick one of these bad boys up as these exclusives will be in limited quantities sold per day. There will also probably be a limit to how many that you can get. One of the bad things is the SDCC scalpers will be in full force hoping to make a profit on the sets and taking it away from real LEGO fans. I’m hoping to be able to pick up one of Rocket’s Warbird to do a review on after the convention. Thanks to Jim for emailing the report in.
