LEGO Stranger Things SDCC 2019 Barb Minifigure Review

July 19, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is the second day of San Diego Comic Con 2019 and LEGO’s minifigure giveaway is for the LEGO Stranger Things Barb. The way the giveaway was done was the same as yesterday for the Advanced Suit Spider-Man except for a couple of things. First is that the time changed from 9:30am start time to 8:30am so I’m going to assume it’ll be like that tomorrow as well for the Zebra Batman. Also they added another iPad to make the line go a lot faster and I was out of the line by 9:00.

As for the packaging, it’s the same clamshell style as before. The card features the LEGO Stranger Things logo along with the SDCC 50 years on the bottom left. The back side has an advertisement for The Upside Down (75810).

As you can see above, my card has scribbles all over it. That is because the LEGO designer of The Upside Down, Justin Ramsden, was in town and he had a signing event at the LEGO booth so I headed there to get my signed along with many other fans. My inscription shows, “To The Brick Fan”, along with a speech bubble that says “Help”. All of it including the signature is written upside down.

As for the Barb minifigure itself, she is wearing the pink plaid ruffle shirt that is knotted on the top. The legs are just her blue jeans with some printing of the button and pockets. She has a double-sided head showing her with glasses and having … Continue

LEGO Marvel SDCC 2019 Advanced Suit Spider-Man Minifigure Review

July 18, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The first official day of San Diego Comic Con 2019 is now over, at least for me, and LEGO’s minifigure giveaway today was for the LEGO Marvel Advanced Suit Spider-Man from the hit PlayStation 4 game. The way the minifigure was given away was reverted back to before where everyone waited their turn on the iPad to see if they won or not. There are some new changed that have been implemented to the way the giveaway was done. First was the time change to ~9:30am from 12pm from previous years. Also the amount of people who were able to win has been increased dramatically. According to the rules sign that was posted, for every five people that went in, four would win and it showed.

As for the Advanced Suit Spider-Man minifigure, it comes in the same clamshell as before. The front of the card shows the Spider-Man logo from the game as well as the SDCC50 logo at the bottom left. The back of the card shows the Marvel Gamerverse logo and the legal jargon.

The eyes on Spider-Man’s head have some silver metallic around the upper part of it. The rest of the head has some webs on the front as well as on the back. There is a large white spider on both sides of the torso to go along with the classic red and blue color scheme. The legs have some of the red on the side and there’s also some red toe printing.

Overall, I think the LEGO Marvel Advanced … Continue

San Diego Comic Con 2019 is just right around the corner and as usual, LEGO will have a big presence there. Here’s a recap of all the LEGO happenings that will be going on there including panels, exclusives, and giveaways.

One thing to note is that there is no dedicated LEGO Ninjago panel like with previous years but I’m guessing it will be included in the content releases panel. As usual, I’ll be live tweeting it so follow my Twitter to stay updated as things are announced.

LEGO Star Wars Sith Trooper Bust (77901) SDCC 2019 Exclusive Revealed

July 10, 2019 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Today is the Star Wars reveals for San Diego Comic Con 2019 and LEGO has revealed the last exclusive that will be available for attendees with the Sith Trooper Bust (77901). The set has 484 pieces and will be available for purchase at the LEGO booth for $45 to whoever gets chosen for the lottery.

Update: I’ve been directed to the bottom right corner which states this set is an “Early Release Edition” so it’s possible that it could be released again later on. If so, my bet is at Target since they did the Darth Vader Bust and plus they like to sell products that have red color variants.
