LEGO SDCC 2015 Exclusives Schedule

July 1, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

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.

LEGO Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batmobile Revealed

June 30, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Batmobile

One of the anticipated movies that will be shown off at San Diego Comic Con 2015 will be Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and today The Wall Street Journal has revealed one of the LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes sets that will be released in conjunction with the movie next year, the Batmobile. The set will have 306 pieces and retail for $29.99. It also includes a new Batman minifigure as well as two un-named characters while the Batmobile itself will contain some stud shooters. There will also be another vehicle with the set. So for $30, you get a Batmobile, another vehicle, and three minifigures including a new Batman outfit. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me!

The article also states that the Batmobile will be available on January 1st so we can probably expect it by late December. The set will be on display next week at SDCC and I’ll have some close-up shots of it when it revealed to the public. Thanks to everyone who wrote in about it.

Comic Book Covers Recreated with LEGO

June 29, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

San Diego Comic Con 2015 is about a week away and one of the popular mainstays at the convention are comic books. Recently, there’s been a growing trend in the LEGO community of many builders recreating comic book covers with LEGO. This building theme was made more known with Comic Bricks which was on display late last year at Designer Con. Even LEGO themselves will also debuting a set at SDCC next week with their rendition of Action Comics #1 which will be sold at the convention.

LarX99 over on Reddit has continued this trend of recreating various comic book covers with LEGO. Of course, there’s also their rendition of Action Comics #1 which has been a popular topic the past week or so due to the upcoming exclusive set. My favorite cover, seen above, is probably the recreation of Hulk #181 which was the first full appearance of Wolverine, despite the wrong colored costume. Below are just a few covers that LarX99 has done but check out the full album over on Imgur.

LEGO Star Wars : Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back Collectible Poster Promo Now Going

June 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

From now until June 28, every LEGO Star Wars purchase at LEGO Stores or on Shop@Home, you can get a Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back collectible poster that is recreated in LEGO. This is the second of the LEGO Star Wars Collectible Posters that are being released this year with Episode IV already released during the May the 4th promo. These poster are really cool but the only bad thing about them is that they are already folded when you get them.
