This year at the Emerald City Comic Con in March, a pair of “Exclusive Lego” Minifigures were released at the show.  They were clearly marked as custom printed minifigures, but they are also a convention exclusive.  So what is your thought?  Do you consider them collectible or not?  What do you think?

I was on the fence on this set, but I decided to pick up a set since they were con exclusives and they were limited to 500 sets.  I am going to add them to the database this weekend, but I am still trying to decide where.  Custom or Lego figures.

Here is the exact one that I bought.  I think he is now selling the last on on ebay that I can find.

Here is the advertisement that the Emerald City comic con had on their web page.

Here is a picture of a custom display case that a user is selling on eBay.  I may pick one of these up for my set.

Here are a few additional images of this figure that they had on the website as well.  I cannot find them on the site anymore?  Did they take them down?  I am not sure.  They are probably planning for the conference next year already.

Just saw this posted to the Lego Club Website.  You may need to login to see the contest as the page is no longer directly available.  This is a contest to win the largest official Lego set that I have ever seen.  It appears that they will only be making one or two of these, but it is a huge set!  I cannot even imagine opening this and how heavy it must be.

It looks like it will contain 92 minifigures.  Can you imagine?  Are any of them unique?  If so, they will quickly make it to the top 100 list of rare minifigures here.

Here are the contest details as well.  I sure hope that the winner take a scale picture so we can see how large this set is.  I do wonder if this is just a mock up, of if they are really going to put all of these sets in on enormous box?

I just received my Lego Club Magazine in the mail today.  Here is a copy of the contest from the magazine.

I just heard that Mega Bloks is getting the Star Trek line again.  That is pretty neat.  I though we were done when Kreo all but abandoned the Star Trek sets and did not even finish releasing them all in the US.

Collider posted an image of a potential set here.

Here is an article from February of 2015 announcing the new line.   Here is an update about SDCC.

Kreo did manage to release 43 figures before calling it quits and I thought that they did a pretty good job.
