sdcc2014

As we prepare to gear up our coverage for this year’s SDCC we’d like to suggest that you enable notifications for your mobile devices. We will surely be bombarding our social media channels on Facebook (fb.com/yakfacecom) and Twitter (@yak_face) with news as it breaks  — PRIOR to the news hitting our front page.

We are also conscience that some may not like the constant notfications as well so we suggest turning them OFF if so inclined.

Finally, if you see a story shared by us over the next few days, it is not an attempt to give preferential treatment to any one source or not give due credit were applicable.

All that said; sit back, relax, HAVE FUN and we hope you enjoy the show!

MTV.com gets a SDCC  reveal this week with the announcement of the LEGO Star Wars Rebels Wookiee Gunship set.

As featured in the Star Wars: Rebels animated TV series, this amazing battle-ready craft has loads of weapons to see off any invading force, like movable front cannons and an elevating top cannon. When the action really heats up, raise the wings into attack mode and unleash the never-before-seen rapid shooters! If you run low on ammo, open the side hatches to access the spare supply, then lower the rear bay door and unload the mobile gun post. Includes 4 minifigures with assorted weapons: Wullffwarro, Kanan Jarrus and 2 Wookiees. Available January 2015, 570 pieces, $69.99

Head on over for a 360º view of the set and to check out a full size LEGO version of Chopper from the series as well.
