SDCC 2014: An exclusive Bard (The Hobbit) minifigure

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.
