Under the Tents: LEGO, Star Trek, Ninjabot, Mega64, V.E. Schwab

There is so much Comic-Con news, it’s almost impossible to keep up with it all of it! Fortunately, we do it so you don’t have to. In this issue of Under the Tents, we have great news from LEGO and V.E. Schwab, some exclusives from Ninjabot and Mega64, and a lot more.

Here’s a look at what you might have missed:

Mega64 is coming to SDCC with a lot of great merch for Booth #1435. Their Twitter feed has been full of great stuff like t-shirts, enamel pins, and plushies. If that’s not enough, you can catch their “Mega64 Ultimate Multi-Billion Dollar Cross-Franchise Teamup Panel” on Friday, July 20 in Room 25AB.

Goin’ to the chapel and we’re gonna blow stuff up. B2Five announced their Stealth Chapel HETT 600e will be at Toynami’s Booth #3229 before it’s available online or in stores, which will happen in late October 2018.

Set phasers to “smooth” when you sip on some James T. Kirk Bourbon Whiskey. Although the captain himself was known to enjoy Saurian Brandy (and the occasional Romulan Ale), this finely crafted bourbon will be available during SDCC 2018 at various events.

According to Action Figure Insider, Small Action Games has created an Attack on Mars! expansion pack for their Captain Action Card Game and will have it on display along with its artwork during their panel on Thursday, July 19 at 4PM PT in Room 32AB.

James Zahn, founder of The Rock Father, announced to his Twitter followers he will make a brief appearance on Saturday, July 21 at SDCC for his first time this year.

For the first time ever, I will be at #SDCC. I'll tell you why very soon, but what I'll say for now is that I'm in-and-out in less than 24 hours, but I'll be there all day on 7/21. #RockFatherSDCC
