Review for LEGO set San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Shazam from FBTB

“I’ve written before how LEGO Shop@Home’s revamped VIP Programs sucks. Well, they’ve taken it to a new low. They are offering VIP members a chance to win a 2012 San Diego Comic Con exclusive Shazam! minifig. No doubt it’s a nice opportunity to get an extremely rare... More collectible. I recognize what LEGO is trying to do with their collectibles and exclusives; and also trying to bring some exclusive content to their VIP program. But this Shazam! raffle just doesn’t elevate either in my mind.”
