LEGO Has a Radical Blockbuster Video Experience at San Diego Comic-Con - Brickbuster Video
LEGO has revealed an awesome experience at San Diego Comic-Con that pays tribute to Blockbuster Video. They have created a big Brickbuster Video booth at the San Diego convention center.
The booth was designed to transport fans back to the 90s, “when families went to their local video store to inspire their Friday night fun, by opening LEGO® Brickbuster Video – a fan experience exclusive to SDCC 2023. Booth #2829 will house the many worlds, creations, and possibilities of the LEGO brand under one fantastical, wonderfully retro “storefront” that showcases favorite entertainment and gaming properties alongside interactive photo and play moments.”
This is pretty awesome and if you’re coming to Comic-Con this year, you’ve got to check this out!
