My Life: Brick by Little Brick: LEGO At SDCC 2014

Hi All! Sorry for the delay in entries again. Today, I will be talking about all the exciting things LEGO released at the recent San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) 2014!

Personally, I have never been to any BrickFair or SDCC before (Partially because it’s half the world away), but I have always followed news of it, and all the awesome reveals of games and stuff.

So, a brief introduction of the SDCC. The SDCC is a convention held annually, in San Diego, California which is on the West Coast of the USA. The SDCC is popular for fans of video games and comics, and increasingly in the last decade, LEGO Fans. LEGO always has a booth at this highly popular convention, and every year, they have awesome previews and giveaways of exclusive sets.

In the last few years, some exclusive LEGO stuff that was available at the SDCC include items from various LEGO Themes such as Lord of The Rings, Marvel and DC Comics Superheroes and my personal favorite, STAR WARS! Last year, LEGO gave away limited numbers of exclusive mini figures from the Marvel and DC Themes, namely Spider-Woman, Black Suit Superman, Green Arrow and Azog, as well as having the JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter available for purchase!

With such great goodies up for grabs, its not hard to see why the annual SDCC is such a must-go event for USA-Based, and International LEGO Fans.

As such, this post is gonna detail all the LEGO Giveaway items, so that you all can hopefully snatch up those that you like on the aftermarket!

This year LEGO gave away a couple more new and exclusive Minifigures that will not be available anywhere else in the near future, and they were also selling 2 exclusive mini-sets, similar to the Back To The Future DeLorean and JEK-14’s Stealth Starfighter available at SDCC 2013.

Among the minifigures given away were The Collector, from Marvel’s Thor: The Dark World and the upcoming Guardians of the Galaxy; Bard the Bowman, from The Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit Trilogy; Unikitty, from The LEGO Movie; And my personal favorite: Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, from the DC Comics Universe in preparation for the upcoming LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham.

All 4 of these Exclusive mini figures are individually numbered, as only 1000 of each were given out each day, with every day of the Comic-Con having a different Minifigure. As of now, a quick check of eBay Listings show that each of these mini figures is selling for around USD $150+, and SGD $250+.

Also, LEGO was selling limited quantities of 3 exclusive Mini-Sets, Rocket’s Warbird from Marvel’s Guardian of the Galaxy, the Batman Classic Series Batmobile, and The Ghost from the upcoming Star Wars Rebels TV Series.

As always, this years sets are selling at extremely high prices. At the Comic-Con, each was available for purchase for around USD $39.99 to USD $59.99, and on the Secondary Market, they are now selling for more than USD $150 each!

So thats it for the exclusives, now onto the set reveals!

This year’s Comic-Con, as always, revealed a couple of new products from several LEGO themes, the most notable being the UCS Batman Tumbler to be released in August this year. In addition, a new Star Wars Rebels set was on display, 75084 Wookiee Gunship, for next years January Winter Wave of LEGO Sets. Looks like another hole to burn in my already tattered pocket.

In addition, the recently-released LEGO Mixels line was also present, with its 4th Series of Collectible figures.

So, thats all for this quick update! I’ll be posting a lot less in the coming weeks because of school and stuff, but I’ll be sure to keep up the weekly reviews, have an awesome week!
