LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Classified as Event Item

August 24, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO has released a statement regarding the LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) set which went on sale this past weekend here in the US. The set is classified as an “event item” and not a regional exclusive. It was indeed supposed to be a San Diego Comic Con 2020 exclusive and DC FanDome was a way for LEGO to sell the set but fans were disappointed that it would not be sold outside of the US. LEGO has also updated the wording on Shop@Home to clarify it as well. Pre-orders can still be placed on it at Shop@Home and on Walmart.com and it will ship on October 1.

There’s no word yet on if the LEGO Star Wars Bespin Duel (75294) is classified as an event item as well but I’m guessing it will be.

It turns out this set was originally going to be the 2020 San Diego Comic Con exclusive. Since that SDCC was canceled they found this weekends event provided a relevant opportunity to release the set. While the new virtual DC event was global, the product was not produced to be global and will therefore only be available to be in the US. There was consideration that this appeared to be a regional exclusive set but it is actually an event item. The set is also being sold on Walmart.com but this appears to be US shipping limitation as well.

LEGO has started teasing the reveal of the LEGO Harry Potter Diagon Alley (75978) and in regional emails, there was also a sneak peek of one of the exclusive minifigures in the set. ~~In the UK emails, it looks like Daily Prophet Photographer was shown off. The US version of the email does not show it at all.~~ This is one of the four new exclusive minifigures that will be found in Diagon Alley.

The official announcement of Diagon Alley (75978) will be on Monday, August 31 and I’m hearing the set will be released on September 1.

Update: My Gmail blocked the image and that’s why I didn’t see him in the email.

LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) Regional Exclusive Confusion

August 23, 2020 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO DC FanDome Wonder Woman (77906) went up for pre-order yesterday here in the US and there was much outrage at LEGO because it was only sold here and not anywhere else in the world. There’s no official word on why but I may have some reasoning behind it.

I believe this set was intended to be sold at San Diego Comic Con but that didn’t happen this year and DC decided to do their own event and LEGO had to sell it somehow. San Diego Comic Con exclusives usually aren’t sold outside of the US besides by third party sellers who attend. So technically, the LEGO Wonder Woman set isn’t a “regional exclusive” but I can see why fans are frustrated at the situation. There are, however, some good people out there on social media who are willing to help out fans in other countries. Feel free to post a comment and someone may see it and help you out.

Pre-orders for the set are still being taken on LEGO Shop@Home as well as at Walmart. I’m don’t know how many sets LEGO has produced so if you’re in the US and want an easy convention exclusive, I would suggest putting your order in.
