SDCC 2018: LEGO builds a big show with Marvel, DC, Star Wars and more

It’s going to be a big Comic Con for LEGO, who’ll be in attendance with exactly what you’d imagine – a selection of exclusive items from the biggest licenses.

LEGO Con

The LEGO booth at Comic Con, no matter which one you’re talking about, is always jammed. The brand has become massive after all, and they stock a seemingly unending supply of cool stuff. This year will be no different in that regard, with some exclusives that you’re going to want.

Not that that’ll be an easy task, since a lot of this stuff will definitely sell out early, but it’s kind of worth trying. And that’s if you’re a DC fan, a Marvel follower, or a Star Wars devotee.

Here’s the official highlight reel, right from the company:

  • The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part

    Characters from The LEGO Movie 2: The Second Part, the highly anticipated sequel to 2014’s smash hit The LEGO Movie, in theaters February 8, 2019, will take center stage at the LEGO Booth.. A larger-than-life, over 4-foot tall and 7-and-a-half-foot long version of leading character Unikitty™ in a new Ultrakatty form will be on display at the LEGO Booth. The creation took LEGO Master Builders 250 hours and 55,825 bricks to design and build. Visitors to the booth can also test their building skills by helping LEGO Master Builders construct a brick-built masterpiece, while getting a sneak peek at the new characters from the film in a 221,184-brick LEGO mystery mural.

    Three new LEGO building sets based on the film – Ultrakatty & Warrior Lucy! ($29.99), Emmet and Lucy’s Escape Buggy ($49.99) and Sweet Mayhem’s Systar Starship! ($49.99) – will make their debut at SDCC as a preview to the entirely new collection of LEGO building sets launching in 2019.

    The ultimate Apocolypseburg Unikitty minifigure, unleashing her never-before-seen Rage kitty and Angry kitty expressions, will also be available to lucky fans who enter and win during a pre-show drawing on Comic-Con’s Exclusives Portal: https://www.comic-con.org/cci/2018/exclusive-merch-time-slots.
