[SDCC] LEGO Ninjago Movie Sets [3 of 3]

Minifigures_Ninjago_lineup_1920x1080_white

Note: Because there are so many pictures, I’m splitting this up into three posts. The only real difference is with the pictures.

I mentioned in the SDCC-rundown that the sets for the LEGO Ninjago Movie will be on public display for the first time at SDCC this year, and also available for sale to the public for the first time (implying that they’ve been on sale privately, I guess?) ahead of their August 1st release date. Along with that info, they sent us a full rundown of the sets, including the retailer exclusives you will be chasing and the Collectible Minifigure series. We’ve (probably) covered some of this before, but be prepared for one big mega post on all of it!

Here’s the details from their press release for the sets. Pictures are available below the fold.

Beginning August 1, the following will be available at your favorite place to shop for LEGO toys:

  • Spinjitzu Training Dojo – join ninja heroes at the dojo with this action-packed Spinjitzu training set, complete with Garmadon combat dummy. ($9.99)
  • NINJAGO City Chase – help Lloyd, Nya and Officer Toque build and race a police tuc-tuc vehicle past a street food stall and through lantern-draped lampposts to prevent a robbery. ($19.99)
  • Master Falls – team up with Master Wu and Kai to build and cross the jungle bridge with opening cage and explore a hidden cave in search of a secret map. ($29.99)
  • Manta Ray Bomber – help Cole save Shen-Li using the Manta Ray Bomber, complete with two spring-loaded shooters and a detachable boat. ($29.99)
  • Water Strider – battle the shark army and pretend to walk on water and climb walls with this poseable mech using the 360-degree rotating cockpit and rapid shooter. ($29.99)

  • Lightning Jet – grab the handle of Jay’s jet to swoop down and unleash the spring-loaded shooter and trigger-activated rotating electro-disc to save Ed and Edna from the shark army’s crab, but beware of the crab’s snapping pincer and stud shooter! ($59.99)
  • Fire Mech – get set for a sizzling battle with this huge mech with shoulder disc shooters and non-shooting fire blasters. ($69.99)
  • Temple of Ultimate Trials – join a ninja mission to infiltrate the Temple of the Ultimate Weapon, but beware of all that stands between the ninja and the treasure chest, including a secret entrance, a trapdoor function, rock-dropping and dynamite-dropping functions, blade-shooting and chopping-sword traps, a dungeon, and a hanging cage. ($99.99)
  • Destiny’s Bounty – construct Master Wu’s huge training base in this highly detailed set featuring three modular levels and a double-headed dragon, wind-up-and-release anchors, training dojo, bathroom and Wu’s bedroom in the hull – not to mention many hidden secrets. ($159.99)

[SDCC] Thursday Programming

lego_brick_headz_box

Today is Thursday. Today is the day you can try for the Marvel exclusives or maybe check out a panel or two.

Brickheadz Drawing
7am or so
Sails Pavilion

Ticket drawing for the Brickheadz exclusive of Spider-Man and Venom 2-pack (pictured above). The time and location is actually a guess since I never got any press release to confirm, so I’m just going by past history. And if history is any indication, Press and Exhibitor badges will be denied the chance to draw.

Unikitty! New Episode Premiere and Q&A
Thursday July 20, 2017 11:15am – 12:15pm
Room 6A

Your favorite character from The LEGO Movie now has her own show! Journey to a joyous kingdom full of sparkle matter, happy thoughts, and the occasional rage-out in Unikitty!, an all-new animated series. As ruler of the kingdom, Unikitty has busy days full of royal responsibilities. Unikitty is most interested in making sure everyone is happy and ridding the kingdom of negativity, but don’t misunderstand her optimism-she is one kitty not to be crossed. While she may be full of boundless energy and creativity, Unikitty is a force to be reckoned with if anyone gets in the way of spreading her positive vibes, especially if anyone makes her little brother and best friend, Puppycorn, sad. Also living in the castle are Dr. Fox, the resident scientist, and Unikitty’s trusty bodyguard, Hawkodile. Producers and members of the voice cast will give a sneak peek at this new series and explain how Unikitty and her friends will make sure that every day is the happiest and most creative ever! Produced by Warner Bros. Animation, Unikitty! is coming soon to Cartoon Network.

Deadpool Duck Minifig Giveaway
12:30pm or so
Sails Pavilion

Yes, this is the actual figure and no, it is not a joke. The badge policy will be the same deal as the Brickheadz drawing.

The LEGO Ninjago Movie
Thursday July 20, 2017 6:45pm – 7:45pm
Room 6A

In this big screen Ninjago adventure, the battle for Ninjago City calls to action young Master Builder Lloyd, a.k.a. the Green Ninja (Dave Franco), along with his friends, who are all secret ninja warriors. Led by Master Wu (Jackie Chan), as wise-cracking as he is wise, they must defeat evil warlord Garmadon (Justin Theroux), the Worst Guy Ever, who also happens to be Lloyd’s dad. Pitting mech against mech and father against son, the epic showdown will test this fierce but undisciplined team of modern-day ninjas who must learn to check their egos and pull together to unleash their inner power of Spinjitzu.

This might be the only panel I’ll be able to go to that doesn’t conflict with their giveaways.

[SDCC] More Images of the DC Super Heroes Sets

HyperFocal: 0

We got the news from Forbes a few days ago, but LEGO sent us the Hi-Res images of what are actually some pretty exciting sets that seem to good price points, as well as the official set descriptions (I promise to wait until I do reviews to poke fun at the marketing, I promise). Seriously, I need that Krypto. Also… I just realized something truly terrifying… the Flash set doesn’t include Batman or Superman (I know kids… I’m scared too).

A ton more images and the full descriptions below the fold.

[SDCC] Lego Press Release, Exclusives, Events, and Giveaway

2017 SDCC Luke Portrait

LEGO just sent us their press release for San Diego Comic Con, kicking off, well, now-ish, as well as some hi-res images for the statues on display and exclusives being offered. Of important note for those of us unable to attend the con (or based on the crowds I’ve seen, those of us lucky enough to not be subject to that). We have some details for attendees below.

2017-SDCC-Thor-3

If you are at the con, some big highlights:

  • Three very nice life-sized statues, including the Jedi Master himself, Luke Skywalker (reportedly life-sized, and yet taller than Mark Hamill), Ragnorok Thor, and Justice League Flash… look, I’m just going to sit here and gaze into Luke’s LEGO eyes for a bit…
  • A panel on Thursday evening, July 20, by The LEGO NINJAGO Movie panel, in Room 6A. Given how much fun that movie looks to be, it would be well worth it to check it out if you can get in
  • As we reported earlier, Super-Girl and Martian Manhunter BrickHeadz will be available on Friday and Sunday. The exclusive Vixen Minifigure will be available on those same days (see the details below)
  • The Marvel BrickHeadz exclusives are Spider-man and Venom, available on Thursday and Saturday. The exclusive Deadpool the Duck figure will also be available on those days
  • 2018 LEGO DC Super Heroes sets will be available onsite… Superman™ & Krypto™ Team-Up ($19.99), Speed Force Freeze Pursuit ($29.99), and Lex Luthor™ Mech Takedown ($39.99)
  • Several (but not all) of the LEGO Ninjago movie sets will be available as well… Water Strider ($29.99), Jelly Sub ($29.99), Green Ninja Mech Dragon ($49.99), Lightning Jet ($59.99), Garma Mecha Man ($59.99), Fire Mech ($69.99), Ice Tank ($79.99), Temple of Ultimate Trials ($99.99), and Destiny’s Bounty ($159.99)

If you’re onsite, to enter the LEGO minifigure giveaway, “show attendees must visit the Pavilion Terrace at 12:30pm each day to enter an instant drawing giveaway, to be fulfilled on the spot while supplies last. One drawing per person per day.” FBTB has a long and storied tradition of all sorts of shenanigans related to these drawings. For the rest of us, there will be changes to win the minifigures; follow @LEGO_Group and the hashtag #LEGOSDCC for entry into a drawing (and since you can’t follow a hashtag as far as I know, just watch their twitter for details on what to do… likely retweet something).

The full press release is available below the fold, as well as additional images.

[SDCC] LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Exclusive, Deadpool the Duck [Edit: With Images]

deadpool-the-duck-214201-1280x0

Okay, this one is a little bit weird. A press release sent through one of San Diego’s local TV stations has revealed the SDCC exclusive Marvel minifigure… Deadpool the Duck. Not really a joke, but also not especially timely for comic fans, as the 5-issue miniseries that smashed together beloved character Deadpool and not-nearly-as-beloved character Howard the Duck wrapped up in March (and the trade paperback came out in May). It was enjoyed by what I can only assume are dozens of people… of which I am one. I’m a huge Deadpool and Howard the Duck fan.

Sadly, I won’t be going to SDCC, but for those who are going and not named Ace, he will be available Thursday, July 20, and Saturday, July 22. There aren’t any further details, but I assume the process will be the same as other LEGO exclusives.

[SDCC] TVInsider Reveals LEGO Exclusive Minifig Vixen From DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow

vixen

The first of I am guessing two LEGO minifig exclusives is finally revealed by way of TVInsider: Vixen from DC’s Legends of Tomrrow. What you never heard of that show? It’s that one show on the WB channel that has that Atom character that was last year’s DC-based minifigure giveaway. Vixen will be given away on both Friday, July 21 and Sunday, July 23. Your chance to win will be starting at 12:30 upstairs in the Sails Pavilion area. No word on whether or not Press badges will be allowed, but that seems to be the rule now. Exhibitor badges will definitely not be allowed of course. Good luck to everyone else!

Star Wars – The Last Jedi Behind the Scenes Featurette

Disney’s D23 is usually a source of new trailers and info, and this year is certainly no different. I have to say, though, there are so many feels in seeing Carrie Fisher in several places and knowing this is the last we are going to see of her. There is just so much amazing stuff seemingly going on in this, from the practical effects to the animatronics to the new characters obviously just enjoying being around one another… I now don’t just anticipate the December 15th release, but the future Bluray release as well so I can watch the features.

LEGO Previews new DC Super Heroes sets for SDCC

76096_Superman-Krypto-Team-Up

When I think LEGO, I think Forbes, which is why it makes perfect sense the outlet got the exclusive first look at some upcoming DC Super Heroes sets that will be at SDCC next week. I suppose it fits, LEGO only sees as as lines on a spreadsheet at this point anyway, but hey, some new sets. Three sets are going to be available at the con, 76096 Superman-Krypto Team-Up, which will feature Lobo (and a reuse of the Scooby Doo mold), 76097 Lex Luther Mech Takedown, and 76098 Speed Force Freeze Pursuit.

There are some interesting things to be had in the sets. I’m really not a fan of Lobo, but I know he’s a favorite to a lot of other people of my generation. Round nets, plenty of those terrible action shooter things, Reverse Flash, and probably the most important for those of us trying to build up a proper justice league, what looks to be Cheetah. I’d be more excited about Cheetah, but that representation looks a bit phoned in for my tastes, given how important of a character she is. Though those trans-green wings on the Krypto set gives me a Jedi Interceptor mash-up idea…
