Because a good brickfilm is worth all the photos in the world, I recommend that you watch the one made by Kevin Ulrich (Brotherhood Workshop) on behalf of LEGO: We see the Smaug minifigure in action and we discover from every angle the dragon from The Lonely Mountain set 79018 in ABS plastic version.

A little wise advice to all those who are about to spend a few hundred euros on eBay to get the Bard the Bowman minifig: Don't buy anything unless you absolutely want to treat yourself to the plastic box and the cardboard insert!

This minifigure distributed in 1750 copies during the Comic Con is not exclusive to the event. It will be available in one of the next sets of The Hobbit range.

LEGO did not include the mention "Exclusive"under the Comic Con logo as is the case on the cardboard insert of the Marvel GotG minifigure The Collector distributed today (see on Brick Heroes).

LEGO unveiled The Hobbit set as planned 79018 The Lonely Mountain and if the Smaug figurine made a strong impression on visitors to the brand's booth, the retail price of $ 129.99 and the minimalist structure that accompanies the dragon and the five minifigs provided have apparently already calmed the ardor of some fans present at the event. the presentation of this box of 866 pieces which will be marketed next October.

You will find many photos of the set via the sites mentioned in the comments of the previous post or on my flickr gallery.

This is the product from the LEGO The Hobbit range that will be presented during San Diego Comic Con: This is the set 79018 The Lonely Mountain.

866 pieces, 5 minifigs (Bilbo Baggins, Kili, Fili, Dwalin and Balin), Smaug and a US retail price of $ 129.99. Marketing next October / November.

After the minifig of Collector Guardians of the Galaxy, Comic Con in San Diego also has a surprise in store for fans of The Hobbit trilogy and the eponymous range offered by LEGO.

The exclusive minifigure of Bard the bowman (played on screen by Luke Evans) will be offered during Comic Con (Thursday, July 24) to a few hundred lucky people.

This is a different version from the one present in The Hobbit set  79013 Lake town chase released at the end of 2013.

Around 1750 copies of this minifigure will be distributed.

Two other exclusive minifigs are planned: A character from the DC Comics universe (Zur-En-Arrh) and a character based on the house license The LEGO Movie(Uni-Kitty).

Regarding the system for designating the winners, it seems that LEGO intends to remove the distribution of tickets in favor of faster participation on an iPad which will immediately determine whether the person has won or lost. Each participant's badge will be scanned to limit each visitor to one daily attempt.

Do not hesitate to follow the news of Comic Con on Hoth Bricks et Brick Heroes, I post on the three blogs according to the topic concerned.
