These are the DC exclusives LEGO gave out at comic conventions, most of them at San Diego Comic-Con and New York Comic Con. They started in 2011 with Green Lantern, Batman and Superman, and after that LEGO mostly chose characters that had not been made as minifigures yet, such as Shazam, Bizarro, Green Arrow, Arsenal, the Atom, Vixen and Black Lightning. 2014 brought the Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, a strange version of Batman from the comics.
2016 LEGO Sets
2016 unveiled Nexo Knights, fusing medieval motifs with digital-era gear and app tie-ins. Licensed highlights included the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters, while Creator delivered showcase builds like the Volkswagen Beetle (10252) and Big Ben (10253). Long-running lines such as Legends of Chima had recently closed, as LEGO refocused on new concepts and adult display sets.
