$270 | Amazon Exclusive

See at Amazon See all 10 cars

Collectors of Lego's wide-ranging race car models and Formula 1 fans have another chance to buy the Amazon-exclusive 10-in-1 bundle that quickly sold out at launch earlier this year. The Lego Speed Champions: Ultimate Formula 1 Collector's Pack has received a surprise restock six months after selling out. Released in March, this massive box set includes all 10 Lego Speed Champions F1 cars in the series and an exclusive poster. The Ultimate F1 Collector's Pack retails for $270 and features 10 officially licensed race cars, 10 Lego minifigures, an exclusive poster, and a giant display box showcasing the 2,601-piece collection.

The bundle was only available for a few weeks after launch before it sold out. Prior to Amazon's restock this month, there was no indication the bundle would return, but Amazon must have saved some units for the holiday season. In addition to this restock, Amazon has deals on a bunch of Formula 1 Lego sets across multiple collections.

Lego had released Formula 1 models before this year, but those were usually one-offs, whereas this year's expanded partnership featured the 10 Speed Champions cars, a collection of Lego City playsets, new Technic display models, and even a "minifigure" with 12 mini F1 cars.

This year's Lego Speed Champions F1 collection includes popular race cars from Aston Martin, Mercedes, McLaren, Ferrari, Williams Racing, and more. The race cars measure approximately 8 inches long and 3 inches wide. Piece counts range from 242 to 269.

We've listed all 10 cars included with the Ultimate Formula 1 Collector's Pack below. Each set is also sold separately with a retail price of $27. It's worth noting that buying each set separately would cost you about $242 at the moment due to Amazon offering small discounts on most of the cars.

Eyes Wide Shut: The Criterion Collection (4K Blu-ray)

$35 (was $50) | Releases November 25

Preorder at Amazon

Stanley Kubrick fans can save 30% on their preorder for The Criterion Collection edition of Eyes Wide Shut. The legendary filmmaker's polarizing final movie arrives on 4K Blu-ray for the first time November 25. Preorders for Eyes Wide Shut's 3-disc 4K Blu-ray edition are discounted to $35 (was $50) at Amazon. Criterion is also releasing a new 1080p Blu-ray edition the same day, and it's also on sale for 30% off, dropping the price to $28.

Arguably Kubrick's strangest--and certainly the most sexually explicit--film, Eyes Wide Shut was a major box office hit, but it proved to be too unsettling and weird for some critics and fans back in 1999. These days, though, many critics and fans alike consider Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman film to be a masterpiece. While it's only the second Kubrick 4K release from Criterion--Barry Lyndon became the first in July--nearly all of Kubrick's movies are now available on 4K Blu-ray from other distributors.

Eyes Wide Shut: The Criterion Collection (4K Blu-ray) $35 (was $50) | Releases November 25

The 4K release of Eyes Wide Shut is a three-disc set with one 4K UHD disc and two 1080p Blu-ray discs. Like other Criterion releases, this version is designed to be as close as possible to Kubrick's thoroughly meticulous vision for how it should be presented. While the famed director passed away in 1999 less than a week after screening the final cut for Warner Bros., Criterion's restoration was supervised by the movie's director of photography, Larry Smith. Since the 1080p version is based on the 4K restoration, it should also be an improvement over the current Blu-ray edition.

Notably, Criterion restored the international version--the aforementioned final cut--not the US theatrical edition, which was censored in order to attain an R rating.

On a technical level, this release offers support for Dolby Vision HDR and DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround sound.

For the bonus materials, new interviews have been filmed with Smith, photographer and second-unit director Lisa Leone, and Stanley Kubrick archivist Georgina Orgill.

There are also archival extras from previous Blu-ray releases of Eyes Wide Shut, like interviews with the actors, a documentary examining the unfinished films of Kubrick, and more. All of these are available to watch on the bonus standard Blu-ray disc. The standard Blu-ray edition is a two-disc set with the same bonus features.

Inside the display case you'll also find a booklet with a 1999 interview with Kubrick and actor Sydney Pollack as well as a new essay by author Megan Abbott.

Stanley Kubrick Movies on 4K Blu-ray

Most of Kubrick's films have received 4K restorations in recent years.

Loosely adapted from Arthur Schnitzler's novella Dream Story, Eyes Wide Shut follows doctor Bill Harford (Tom Cruise) and his wife, Alice (Nicole Kidman), as they confront their unconscious desires, jealousies, and fears inside of a version of New York City that feels a step removed from reality.

Get your fishing rods, it's time to play Minecraft. Mojang is working with Conservation International to give us a new educational Minecraft add-on called Friendly Fishing. Friendly Fishing is "an epic fishing adventure loaded with everything from tuna and clams to anchovies, sharks, and treasures," and it's available now.

The Barracuda is just one of many fish in Friendly Fishing.

In addition to offering up a new place to explore and fish to catch, this is meant to educate players about ocean pollution. As you fish, you'll be able to catch a variety of underwater creatures, but you'll also hook plastic waste, which you can then use to craft unique items. You'll unlock more fish--over 90 types--as you clean up the ocean, in addition to learning about real-world ocean cleanup.

This add-on also features an aquarium to fill with fish, and the ability to suit up for a dive to explore some ruins.

Minecraft is all about making the world your own, and part of that is making your character look how you like, whether that's simple customization or something from your favorite show, movie, or game. The latest collab to come to Minecraft is Dragonball Z. Mojang hasn't given us a hard release date, but says this is happening later this year.

As part of the latest Minecraft Live presentation, Mojang teased the new Dragonball Z collaboration. Details on the collab are light, but right now you can get free Super Saiyan Hair from the Minecraft Marketplace, which is available until November 4, 2025.

Minecraft has collaborated with a variety of companies previously. This includes characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, Sonic the Hedgehog, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Hello Kitty, Terraria, and a whole bunch more. Fashion collaborations include Burberry, Lacoste, and AAPE.

Sometimes nights in Minecraft are overwhelming, feeling like you're battling an unstoppable army of hostile mobs. Minecraft's next update, which drops in Holiday 2025, will offer up a new weapon, new mount, and new enemy configurations to mix up your battles.

The new weapon is the spear. Mojang says that this item is suited for both hand-to-hand and mounted combat, and that the damage scales with your speed, giving you all the excuse you need to charge into battle.

The new underwater mount, the nautilus.

That will pair great with the new underwater mount, the nautilus, which you can tame using pufferfish. In addition to making travel faster, this mount will preserve your existing air supply, making those enchanted helmets a little bit less necessary. You'll also be able to find nautilus armor in chests, with copper, iron, gold, diamond, and netherite variants.

When copper debuted in Minecraft on June of 2021, it was immediately a block with tons of potential, thanks to the ability to age the material into a variety of different shades. Now, though, copper is finally living up to all that potential in Mojang's upcoming update, The Copper Age, which brings a bunch of new options to put all that copper in your storage chests to use. The Copper Age update drops next week, on Septemer 30.

First (and finally), you'll be able to wear and carry copper. Copper armor, which sits between leather and iron armor in terms of durability and protection, includes the full suite of armor, plus armor for your horse. You'll also be able to create a full set of copper tools. These items won't oxidize, and they'll be more durable than stone tools, but less so than iron.

The copper chest, copper armor, copper lanterns, and other copper tiles.

This update also adds copper chests, golems, and golem statues. You'll get your first copper chest when you create a copper golem (combine copper blocks and a carved pumpkin to make this new friend-shaped mob). Then, you can put items into the copper chest, and the copper golem will sort those items into normal chests around your base. Additionally, when one of these little guys meets an iron golem, legend has it that something super adorable happens.

Last year's Fortnitemares was extremely packed with microtransactions, with the Fortnite item shop averaging a new collab skin every other day over the course of October. And it may be that Fortnitemares 2025 will be even more crowded, with long-rumored collabs with Scream, Friday the 13th, and Scooby-Doo expected to appear in the Fortnite shop during spooky season. But now there's a new rumor about yet another Fortnitemares collab--KPop Demon Hunters.

The exact nature of the Fortnite x KPOP Demon Hunters collab isn't clear at all right now, since the entire leak is just HypeX saying that it's "the main Halloween collab" and that it's "not just skins." If true, this would presumably mean that there will be some new KPop Demon Hunters-related gameplay mechanic, like a new weapon or other item. Though since Fortnitemares is also rumored to have a Jason Voorhees medallion and Ghostface's mythic knife, the KPop Demon Hunters collab would have to be even more involved with that.

The new season of Fortnite Festival begins on October 9, and so it's possible that HUNTR/X will be the new season headliners. Epic previously promised the upcoming Festival season would be focused on Fortnite-original stuff, but that just means they had a plan that would have been very easy to pivot away from if they had the chance to swap in a collab with the biggest Netflix movie ever.
