Photo Recapping 2013 Comic-Con: The LEGOs

You might have read the title and said to yourself, "she's doing a whole round-up of pictures of LEGOs? I've had enough of my five-year-old's building blocks on the living room floor, thankyouverymuch!" Well, if that's what you think of when you read the word LEGOs, you haven't lived. LEGO statues are not new in any respect, and they've been spotted around Comic-Con for years. But, I feel like I found them at every turn this year, both throughout the exhibit hall floor (and not just at the LEGO booth) as well as at the off-site events. I really wish that the beautiful displays would include information about how many blocks were in each figure, how many hours it took to build, and how many blueprints they went through to reach the masterpiece on display. Alas, I didn't see those sorts of statistics anywhere, but they're still awfully lovely to admire!

this one is actually made with Mega Bloks, shhh. by Amy K. Bredemeyer
That TMNT one is definitely my favorite! I spent a couple minutes staring at it, wishing there was nobody trying to photograph it so I could get closer and really study it, LoL. There were undoubtedly more LEGO sculptures around, but you can only focus on so much over the course of five days! Perhaps next year the stars will align to permit Preview Night to work out, when a limited number of people are allowed into Exhibit Hall, making it far less crowded than the rest of the weekend!
