Remember back in 1938 when Superman flew onto the scene in a big way on the cover of Action Comics #1? Well LEGO does, and we've got the exclusive first look at their upcoming San Diego Comic-Con set that pays homage to it. In LEGO'S DC Comics Super Heroes set, available only at Comic-Con 2015, LEGO recreates Joe Shuster's iconic artwork for Superman's introductory comicbook cover in which he lifts a green sedan over his head as easily as you or I might victoriously hoist a Comic-Con swag bag. Fans who can’t attend Comic-Con can follow @LEGO_Group for chances to win the set throughout the course of the event.

Check out our exclusive look at LEGO's DC Comics Super Heroes piece featuring Superman:

Pretty close, huh? Right down to the broken wheel. (You can add your own cowering LEGO civilians.) Keep in mind that Comic-Con retail exclusives are going to work a little bit differently this year. In the hope of clarifying the process, here are the relevant details:

LEGO SDCC Retail Exclusives: Winning ticket required for purchase

 

You must first enter the drawing by picking up a ticket (see below) and then attendees go to the LEGO booth to redeem their ticket if they have a winning ticket and purchase the set at the LEGO booth. The LEGO booth will be located in Hall D, booth #2829.

 

Ticket Drawing Location: Pavilion Terrace (Upper level outside Sails Pavilion).

 

Attendees must first enter the main Convention Center entrance from the line at the front of the main building. Entry to the LEGO retail drawing at the Sails Pavilion will be from this line. Depending on the crowds, this line may start moving as early as 7:00am until supplies last.
