LEGO The Hobbit SDCC 2013 Exclusive Micro Scale Bag End Review

July 25, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

At the 2013 San Diego Comic Con, LEGO announced one of the two exclusive sets they would be selling is The Hobbit Micro Scale Bag End. To get the set, you had to stand in line to get a ticket to purchase the set. I was lucky enough to get one of the last sets they had on the first day. The set consists of 130 pieces and retails for $40 which is a whopping $0.31/piece but that is expected since these are exclusive sets that you can only get at conventions. This set is number 785 of 1000. This year LEGO has decided to go with a small box instead of a tin can like last year’s exclusive. Inside the box, there is one unnumbered bag and one instruction booklet.

LEGO San Diego Comic Con 2013 Day 1 Recap

July 18, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 3 Comments

Day 1 at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con is finally over and I haven’t been this tired in a very long time. Let me do a recap on all things LEGO related today at the Con. The biggest news there was probably the failure of the exclusive Spider-Woman minifigure giveaway. As you may have seen in my earlier post, the LEGO floor staff had to shut down the whole thing 15-20 minutes into the giveaway due to overcrowding. If you’ve been to SDCC before, once there’s any sort of overcrowding, they would be forced to shut down things like this. As a result, there are still some left over raffle tickets left over for Spider-Woman and will be given out tomorrow morning at 11:30 but this time it’s at the West Terrace. At that time, LEGO will also be giving out tickets for the Amazing Spider-Man minifigure as well. At 3:30pm, check if you have a winning ticket on LEGOraffle.com and if you do, head back to the LEGO booth to pick up your precious.

Another thing that I noticed that was a little out of control was the line for the LEGO The Hobbit Micro Scale Bag End and the LEGO Star Wars JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter exclusive sets. People were lining up for the minifigure giveaway when the line was for tickets to get the two sets. This confusion led to a line that snaked a couple of times around the whole booth. There were only a limited amount of each set … Continue

LEGO Reveals 2013 San Diego Comic Con Exclusive Sets

July 17, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 4 Comments

LEGO has revealed the exclusive sets they will be selling at the 2013 San Diego Comic Con. They are the LEGO The Hobbit Micro Scale Bag End and the LEGO Star Wars JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter. There is no word on how much they will be going for but we’re predicting around $40 like last year’s. There will also be a limited quantity being sold as well.

The Micro Scale Bag End consists of 130 pieces and includes a Bilbo Baggins minifigure. The JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter has only 105 pieces and includes the JEK-14 minifigure. These sets are a smaller version of there regular counterparts. It looks like LEGO went with the box packaging, much like the Minecraft sets, this year instead of the tin packaging for the past couple of years.
