From what I've read leaks indicate there's going to be a LEGO Animal Crossing game for Switch as well.

LEGO Halo set confirmed?

I thought Mega Blocks had the rights to Halo? They've put out Halo sets in the past.

I found an interesting series on YouTube. A hobbyist is building a series of MOC dioramas based on the series Andor. The end result of each video is really nice, but I find the most interesting part to be his process of designing each MOC.

It's cute, but think how much funnier it would have been if they shot LEGOs into the air and had them rain down like confetti. And then the screams of how much that hurts, particularly as the crowd tries to run away on them.
It's not a GOOD idea, but it would be an entertaining one!

Some people apparently appreciate LEGO a little too much.

Ok, last update (for a while). Falcon's home is set. Don't ask how I got it on top of a 6 foot cabinet.

@Krisken get ready to have a pair - leaked lego star wars dark falcon; includes Jedi Vader and Darth Jar Jar!

Beach Luke?

Edit: Who are the other characters? I see Bounty Hunter C3PO, but who are the other two? Darth Dev?

Darth Dev Greebling is an original character (i believe) from the Rebuild the Galaxy show that this set is from on Disney+ that has this mixed up reality. The other figure is Sith Rey

 

[chris]

Is the show already out?
I guess Luke is some kind of blue milk drinking beach bum. Darth Rey makes sense.
