San Diego Comic Con 2015 Day 4 Recap

July 21, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

I’ve finally had some time to finish up my daily coverage of San Diego Comic Con 2015 with the last day of the convention. For Sunday, I didn’t try to get any of the exclusive LEGO sets since I already got all three of them the previous days so I pretty much roamed around the exhibit hall until the first panel which was the world premiere showing of LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League: Attack of the Legion of Doom. The movie was pretty good and had a decent plot. As for Trickster, who is also the exclusive minifigure with the movie, he shows up right at the beginning. That’s all I’ll say about that. At the end, there was also a very brief panel moderated by Greg Miller and consisting of Troy Baker, Josh Keaton, Khary Payton, Brandon Vietti, Rick Morales, and Jim Krieg.

After that, I headed off to the next panel which was the LEGO Ninjago one and apparently there are a lot of Ninjago fans because there was a huge line for it. I’ve did a recap of that panel and yes, there will be another season coming with hints of there being pirates included.

For the last panel of the day, it was the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes one which gave attendees an inside look at the development process of some of the recent LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets, animated content, and the LEGO Marvel’s Avengers video game. The panel consisted of Marcos Bessa, Adam Corbally, Jason Cosleer, Cort … Continue

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2015 Exclusives Giveaway

July 20, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 13 Comments

I hear you guys like giveaways so here’s another one that you may be interested in. As you can see from the image above, I have a whole set of LEGO SDCC exclusives that I will be giving away. You may ask how did I get two sets of exclusives. You may not know this but I had my brother stand in line with me at Comic Con and he was able to get a whole set himself. Since he isn’t into LEGO as much as I am, we came to a mutual agreement to give me the exclusives and here we are.

So my question for you guys is what kind of giveaway do you want? Would you like to have three separate giveaways for each individual exclusive or just one giveaway for all three exclusives. I made a Straw Poll and you can vote on your choice. The one with the most votes will be the giveaway that will be done. I’ll let this run for about a week or so to let the votes populate. This will be a worldwide giveaway so that people who weren’t able to attend SDCC have a chance to win them.

The fate is in your hands. Choose wisely.

San Diego Comic Con 2015 Day 2 Recap

July 17, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

I’m back with another daily recap for San Diego Comic Con 2015. In this post, I’ll cover both Friday and Saturday since nothing much happened on Friday. On Friday, my day was pretty open since there were no LEGO panels happening that day. The LEGO booth was also pretty bland that day. The reveal of the day was the LEGO Ninjago Temple of Airjitzu (70751).

San Diego Comic Con 2015 Day 1 Recap

July 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

It’s been almost a week but I’ve finally had some time to do a recap on the first day of San Diego Comic Con 2015. This recap is mostly about the LEGO-related events and stuff during the first day of the convention. The LEGO booth was at the same place as it has been for the past couple of years. Inside the booth was a play area where attendees could build whatever they want. There was also little builds that were put up on the showcase. One of the main attractions at the booth was the life-size Hulk vs the Hulk Buster piece.

LEGO Star Wars SDCC 2015 Dagobah Mini-Build Building Instructions

July 15, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

You guys wanted it and here it is. On the third day of San Diego Comic Con 2015, LEGO had on sale for ticketed attendees the LEGO Star Wars Dagobah Mini-Build set. I’ve opened up the set and have provided readers with the building instructions for the set.

For this set, there are a few rare pieces like the tan satellite dish 4617765, the 2x2w bow 6055868, the dark tan jumper plate 6092591, the dark tan round plate 6038461, and the olive green 1×1 plate 6058245. Also, the gray frog has been in a few sets but it’s mostly been used in the modular sets so they could be fairly rare too. Finally, the complete R2-D2 minifigure has only been in two sets, the Jedi Interceptor (75038) and the Sandcrawler (75059).

Head over to my Flickr album to see all the building steps for the Dagobah Mini-Build in an organized fashion or you can download the PDF I’ve also provided to use at your leisure.

I hope you guys have enjoyed these building instructions for the SDCC 2015 exclusive sets. As I’ve been telling readers, I feel that these builds should be enjoyed by as much people as possible and this is a way for me to give back to the LEGO community.

LEGO Marvel Super Heroes SDCC 2015 Throne of Ultron Building Instructions

July 13, 2015 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 5 Comments

On the second full day of San Diego Comic Con 2015, LEGO sold the exclusive LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Avengers: Age of Ultron Throne of Ultron set. Like with the Action Comics #1 Superman set, I’ve opened it up and have provided the building instructions for the set for you readers.

I can confirm there are no exclusive part to the Throne of Ultron set so that’s a sigh of relief for those who are wanting to recreate this set. However there are a few parts that are somewhat rare due to the fact that they have just been recently released this year in sets. For example, the fire pit bowl 6104346 is only in a couple of the newer LEGO Friends and LEGO Elves sets. Other than that, all the other pieces should be readily available on BrickLink if you’re sourcing your parts.

For the minifigures, Ultron is the same one as in The Quinjet City Chase (76032) while the Ultron Sentries are from Iron Man vs. Ultron (76029) with their neck brace 6104350 from the The Hulk Buster Smash (76031). If you already have these sets, then you should have no problem putting together the minifigures.

Again, you can head over to my Flickr album to see larger building instruction images or you can download the PDF version to use at your convenience. On pages 28 and 29, I’m not sure why the steps go from 13 to 16 but it’s in order so there aren’t any missing steps.
