LEGO Masters: Back Behind the Brick Panel on Friday at SDCC
Admit it, you’re obsessed with watching master builders transform LEGOs into works of art on LEGO Masters! Cooking shows are good, but there’s nothing quite as riveting and delightfully inspiring as watching majorly talented people turn LEGOs into awe-inspiring creations. It makes us want to break out our own LEGOs and see what we might be able to manifest. To help us along on our LEGO journeys, LEGO is having a LEGO Masters panel at SDCC. This panel will take place on Friday, July 26, from 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm PDT in room 6BCF. And yes, it will share tips, tricks, and secrets to becoming a LEGO genius.
You can check out the official description below.
