Brickipedia News:Final SDCC Exclusive Giveaway: The Final Nail in the (Scorpion's) Coffin

July 7, 2015

Get ready collectors! If the Comic Con exclusive Arsenal and All New Captain America (Sam Wilson) minifigures aren't enough to keep you up at night inventing creative death threats, well, you're in luck! There is not going to be another exclusive minifigure this year. Neat, huh?

But what about the title?

I'm glad you asked. If you haven't started to collect the new BIONICLE sets already, I suggest you start now. There are already two exclusive masks out there which could only be acquired if you were in the right place at the right time (and since one of those places was New York City, there was no right time), plus another hard-to-get mask exclusive to a poly bag, and seven different 14k gold masks, this is a great theme to get into if you enjoy moaning about everything you can't own! I think it's good stress relief, at least, that's the only reason I can imagine why people fret about SDCC exclusives all year round.

This lovely is the "Bull Skull Mask" included with 70793 Skull Basher and 70794 Skull Scorpio. One may wonder why a Scorpion would wear a bull mask, but, apparently, it's because he couldn't go to Comic Con to get the exclusive green one. It would certainly do wonders for an already very handsome set:

This mask will be the giveaway item on Saturday, following Captain America on Thursday and Arsenal on Friday.

How on earth did it go from four minifigures last year to 2 minifigures and a mask?

I'm still waiting for the Ninjago set reveal and hopefully the rest of the batman set :3

They dropped the ball here by not making the exclusive a trans-neon green Mask of Jungle, which would be a neat reference to the TNGMs of old, but I'll take what I can get. Seeing as last year's trans-clear Mask of Fire dropped in price to about $40, this one might go even lower due to it not being the first BIONICLE item produced in four years, and not being the mask of the main character.

Yeah, at first glance I thought it was the Mask of Jungle. It's kind of a weird coincidence.

Ugh, why is all this happening in America? Shame on you, LEGO. jk, but seriously. There are LEGO fans in the rest of the world too.

To be fair, most Americans don't make it to this convention. Tickets are really limited, and it's a big country, so it can be a lot of travel even for us.
