San Diego Comic-Con has been taking place over the last couple of days and as it nears its end, here is a round-up of all the LEGO® news that has come out of the annual event. The biggest talking point from SDCC 2023 has to be the amazing booth the LEGO Group created for the event. In partnership with Blockbuster Video, the LEGO SDCC booth was an amazing recreation of a classic video store, renamed Brickbuster. The ‘store’ booth featured a number of new LEGO products, and a selection of brick-built ‘standees’ promoting themes such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Marvel and Star Wars. Visitors to the LEGO booth could also build video covers and go in search of lost video cases to win special LEGO prizes.
