Today was the Warner Bros. Hall H panel at San Diego Comic Con 2018 and there were some epic trailers that were shown off including a new clip that was shown for The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part. The clip confirms that Jason Momoa has been revealed to be voicing Aquaman in the upcoming animated film.
Fans in attendance got to see a short part of the film in which Aquaman is in his traditional outfit appearing alongside Batman, voiced by Will Arnett. Batman sort of brushes off Aquaman and subsequently, Aquaman uses Batman as a surfboard and even uses the voiceline, “My Man” just like in Justice League.
Speaking of Aquaman, there is a life-sized statue of Aquaman made from 30,450 bricks and took 190 hours to design and build.
If you’re wanting to get the exclusive San Diego Comic Con 2018 LEGO set but aren’t at the convention, the next best thing is to build your own and thanks to Promobricks, you can now do that as they have somehow able to acquire the building instructions for the sets. The only thing that you won’t have are the exclusive vertical-style boxes and you’ll have to find a way to get the minifigures.
If you were at San Diego Comic Con 2018 late this afternoon, LEGO was handing out some surprise exclusive LEGO super hero posters. You were given a choice of either the LEGO Marvel Studios: The First Ten Years which is a recreation of the famous poster or a LEGO DC Super Heroes Superman 80th Anniversary poster which shows Superman in a minifigure form recreating some famous scenes from Superman’s history.
I kindly asked the people manning the table if I could get both posters and they allowed it but most people walked away with either or. I’m not sure if the LEGO booth will have more of these two posters the rest of the con or if there will be other posters to collect as well but I’ll be checking in periodically. Which one of these posters do you like the best?
The San Diego Comic Con 2018 trailer for LEGO DC Super-VIllains has been released and we get to see a slew of new villains that we’ll be able to play as. This trailer is ahead of the LEGO DC Super-Villains: Meet the Talend Behind the Video Game Panel that will be held tomorrow at SDCC which we’ll most likely see even more character reveals and other details so stay tuned for that. I’ll be at the panel to live Tweet some of the important details so follow me on Twitter if you haven’t yet.
It looks like there is an unannounced LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes set that is available for purchase at San Diego Comic Con 2018 and that is the Aquaman Black Manta Strike from the upcoming Aquaman movie. Looking at it closely, the build is mostly the robotic Black Manta along with the Aquaman, Mera, and Black Manta minifigures. I’ll have to swing by the LEGO booth tomorrow and pick it up. I’m guessing this set will be available starting in August.

When the LEGO Ideas Voltron (21311) was first announced that would become an official set, my inner adult child was filled with joy. Some of you may know that I’m a huge fan of the show but I have pretty much collected a number of Voltron toys and to have this set in my hands is something I’ve never dreamed would have happened. For the background of the Voltron project on LEGO Ideas, Leandro Tayag was the fan designer and it only took him just three weeks to hit 10,000 supporters. As for the details of the set itself, it has 2,321 pieces and retails for $179.99 and will be available starting on July 23 for VIP members or August 1 for the general public.
