San Diego Comic-Con 2019 Sets Instructions

by Thita (admin) on August 5, 2019

in LEGO Exclusives

As we discussed previously, during the recent San Diego Comic-Con, LEGO made available several exclusives LEGO sets, minifigures, and other items (see: LEGO News from San Diego Comic-Con 2019). The SDCC-2019 minifigures come with exclusive printing and packaging, so if you want them, you will need to look for them on the secondary market. They are not cheap, but for some collectors the price is worth it. Here are the listings on eBay: LEGO SDCC-2019 ON EBAY

The SDCC-2019 sets also come in exclusive packaging, but the pieces are easily available. This means that if you want the packaging, you can get the sets from eBay, but if you only care for the models themselves, you can build them on your own.

To make this process easier, LEGO made the instructions available for all three SDCC-2019 sets. This includes the #77901 LEGO Star Wars Sith Trooper Bust, the #77902 LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Captain Marvel and the Asis, and the #77903 LEGO DC Super Heroes The Dark Knight of Gotham City. Below are the links to download PDF instructions for all three sets:

If you plan to build these sets, I recommend downloading the PDF instructions to your computer or mobile device as it is likely LEGO won’t make them available forever. A download button should be appearing at the bottom of the screen when you open the documents. The last page of the instructions includes the parts lists. I would start here to gather the parts and make sure you have everything you need. You can substitute some parts during the building process, or order missing parts from BrickLink, or the LEGO Pick-A-Brick section of the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the SDCC-2019 exclusives? Did you attend the event? And did you have a chance to get any of the exclusives? Are you planning to build any of them? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below!

Interview with LEGO Designer Mark Stafford

by Thita (admin) on August 3, 2019

in Featured LEGO Fans

Last month, LEGO designer Mark Stafford was asked to go to LEGOLAND Malaysia to sign copies of the #75936 LEGO Jurassic Park: T. Rex Rampage set for enthusiastic LEGO fans. As we discussed previously (see links at the end of this post), the #75936 LEGO Jurassic Park: T. Rex Rampage set was designed by Mark, with inspiration from the set coming from other LEGO designers as well. It includes a fantastic and very articulated giant dino, and the iconic Jurassic Park gate with a bunch of different little vignettes representing scenes from the movie. And don’t forget about those awesome minifigs!

While in Asia, Mark was interviewed by YouTube channel Brick Finder from Singapore. He was asked some questions both about the design process of the #75936 LEGO Jurassic Park: T. Rex Rampage set and his work at LEGO in general (including killing the color teal and introducing olive-green). Mark said he really enjoyed this interview and appreciated that he was able to talk about his work for an hour. The interview is expertly edited by Brick Finder for a very interesting 20-minute documentary. Watch below.

That was really insightful, isn’t it? It’s awesome to hear some many interesting little details about the design process, and all the different types of decisions LEGO designers have to make, and challenges they face in their work. Mark is a fantastic designer, with lots of great sets under his belt (see his portfolio here). I particularly appreciated his thoughts on the importance of being flexible and non-attached in such a creative line of work.

For a full review of this awesome LEGO Jurassic Park set, visit LEGO Jurassic Park: T. Rex Rampage Review, and if you are interested, you can find the set – along with a whole collection of regular LEGO Jurassic World/Jurassic Park sets – at the Online LEGO Shop.

What do you think? How do you like the new LEGO Jurassic Park set? Are you planning to get it? Or do you have it already? Feel free to share your thoughts and own reviews in the comment section below!
