Just realized there wasn't a thread for this stuff yet, so here ya go:

San Diego Comic Con is coming up fast (9th - 12th July), so to keep track of everything Lego-related I'm gonna post all the exclusives currently announced to be sold there. There's also a big chance that a some late 2015/early 2016 sets will be revealed at the official Lego booth, so if anything gets revealed I'll shove it in this thread too. If any new dimensions info is revealed there too (which I'm betting there will be), post it in the Dimensions thread instead. Without further ado, here are all the exclusive sets and minifigs for SDCC:

SETS:

Throne of Ultron (costs $40):

New set revealed! It's a batmobile!

Snyder revealed the Batmobile in tweets last year, and DC displayed it earlier this month at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas, but this is an exclusive first look at the Lego set, and the first product reveal tied to the film. It will be displayed at SDCC but consumers can only purchase it starting Jan. 1, 2016, at mass retailers.

The Lego DC Super Heroes New Batmobile set includes 306 pieces, two “stud shooters” and opening doors, a new Batman outfit deco, two additional unnamed characters and an additional vehicle. It will retail for $29.99.

Cross-posting from the dimensions topic...

I'm guessing that the Dr Who stuff is gonna be revealed here then. And the best thing about this event? There's no SDCC badge needed to enter, so if you're nearby you'll be able to get in for free. Hooray!

 

Oh yeah, and somebody better get me that "limited edition print featuring Portal and Doctor Who" goddammit.

Will somebody tell me how many Batmobiles Lego has made... about seven is my guess.

That batmobile looks pretty great, I... think? I'd have to see it in action in the movie first. Seems like a modern take on the classic long design.

aidenpons, if all scales are included, I think LEGO's made nine. I never knew about the Comic Con 2014 one though - it's a nice idea but they've made it a little squat.

Not sure what the Super Heroes reveal will be, but I think we can expect the upcoming D2C temple for the Ninjago reveal and obviously Episode 7 stuff for Star Wars.

Looks like there won't be any BIONICLE exclusives this year.

...Not sure what the Super Heroes reveal will be...

I'd imagine it's the rest of that Batmobile set that was partly revealed earlier this week. You know, the one that looked like a dune buggy?
