Ep. 98 - LEGO at ComicCon: Boom or Bust? - 7/28/25 - News & Rumors

Fresh off the plane and still powered by convention-center pretzels, overpriced coffee, and a whole lot of nerdy adrenaline, I’m back from my very first San Diego Comic-Con—and in this episode, I’m unpacking every last bit of LEGO goodness (and a few letdowns) that made an appearance at the biggest pop culture party of the year.

So what did LEGO bring to the table? Let’s just say it wasn’t subtle. From the Wicked-ly magical set reveal that had Oz fans losing their minds, to a moody and masterfully updated Arkham Asylum, and even a surprise nostalgia bomb in the form of a brick-built Nintendo Game Boy—there was no shortage of jaw-dropping displays. If you’re a collector, a builder, or just someone who grew up blowing into video game cartridges, you’re going to want to hear about these.

But—and it’s a big “but”—there were a few head-scratchers. No LEGO exclusives to hunt down. No sets to buy on-site. And while there were a few panels and activations, it didn’t exactly feel like a LEGO takeover. So here’s the real question: Did LEGO drop the ball at SDCC 2025, or were they playing the long game by keeping things more chill and curated? I’ve got the full scoop on the show floor vibe, the standout sets, and whether it was worth the trip from a diehard brickhead’s perspective.

And because Comic-Con news is never the whole story, I’m also diving into some wild new LEGO leaks and rumors—including Death Star Minifigs, and what might be the most unexpectedly charming or strange idea in the pipeline… a LEGO Fish Tank. Yep, you heard that right.

If you’ve ever dreamed of hitting SDCC or just want to live vicariously through the chaos of cosplay, collectibles, and cleverly designed bricks, this is the episode for you. Buckle up—this one’s got everything but a Comic-Con badge.
