The two largest Lord of the Rings Lego sets are on sale at Amazon-owned retailer Woot. From now until December 12, while supplies last, Lord of the Rings fans can save $60 on the 5,471-piece Barad-dur tower and the 6,167-piece Rivendell Lego set. Both sets are part of the Lego Icons line and almost always sell for full price at major retailers. Woot's Lego deals typically sell out fast; in fact, both of these sets sold out in hours when they were featured in Woot's Black Friday sale last month.

Take a look at these massive Lego Lord of the Rings models below. We also added a list of more Lego deals at Woot at the bottom of this story, including The Legend of Zelda: The Great Deku Tree, Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale, and several Star Wars UCS models.

The Lord of the Rings: Barad-dur Lego Set (5,471 Pieces) $400 (was $460)

This $460 Lord of the Rings set includes 5,471 pieces, and the completed build stretches 32.5 inches high (nearly three feet!). It's a massive and intricately designed kit with numerous modular structures. It's capped off with the Eye of Sauron, which illuminates for added authenticity.

While J.R.R. Tolkien never specified the number of floors in Barad-dur, the Lego recreation of the dreary and terrifying structure has five levels. On the main floor, you'll create Gollum's hideout, an armory, and a prison for Orcs with a cage that opens and shuts. Level two has a dining hall and kitchen. The middle floor contains Sauron's throne room. The throne itself has a secret passageway to the Palantir chamber--where Sauron does his magic crystal ball activities--which features several cool Easter Eggs, including a map of Middle-earth. Above the throne room is the Mouth of Sauron's study, and the top floor has the library with a movable ladder.

Barad-dur is 17.5 inches wide and 12 inches deep, so you'll need ample shelf space and nearly three feet of open space above for the tower spire.

The set comes with 10 minifigures:

• Sauron
• Mouth of Sauron
• Gollum
• Frodo Baggins
• Samwise Gamgee (Sam)
• Gothmog
• 4 unique Orcs

It also includes accessories based on the Peter Jackson film trilogy such as the One Ring, Sauron's mace, light of Earendil, helmets for each Sauron figure, various armor and weapons, and more.

Lego's recreation of Rivendell is actually even bigger than Barad-dur. At 6,167 pieces, Rivendell is one of the 10 largest Lego sets ever made. Unsurprisingly, it takes up a lot of space, too. The completed build is 28.5-inches wide, 19.5 inches deep, and 15 inches tall.

Rivendell is home to 15 Lego minifigures, including all of the members of the Fellowship, Bilbo Baggins, and several other characters:

• Frodo Baggins
• Samwise Gamgee (Sam)
• Gandalf the Grey
• Meriadoc Brandybuck (Merry)
• Peregrin Took (Pip)
• Aragorn
• Legolas
• Gimli
• Boromir
• Bilbo Baggins
• Elrond
• Arwen
• Gloin
• 2 Elves

This highly detailed model features recreations of rooms from the movie, including Frodo's bedroom and Elrond's study. Rivendell is a modular build, which makes it a good one to piece together with a fellow Lord of the Rings fan; this also means you can remove sections from the main building and display them on different shelves, your desk, etc. This includes the section with the table where the pivotal Council of Elrond scene took place in The Fellowship of the Ring.

Lego's model of Rivendell features many authentic trappings and decor from the film, including various paintings, ornate castle spires, the white gazebo, statues, archways, flowers and trees, intricate roof tiling, bridges, an elven forge, and the Shards of Narsil. The paintings and statues nod to historical events in Tolkien's Middle-earth writings.

Rivendell joined the Lego Icons lineup in 2023. At the time, it was the only Lord of the Rings Lego set available in stores. Rivendell was joined by Barad-dur the following year. In 2025, Lego released two more Lord of the Rings sets. The 2,017-piece recreation of The Shire released in April for $270. Similar to Barad-dur and Rivendell, The Shire comes with a bunch of minifigures--nine, to be exact.

Lego The Legend of Zelda: Great Deku Tree 2-in-1

$265 (was $300) | 2,500 Pieces

Get deal at Woot See at Amazon See at Best Buy See at Walmart See at Target See at Lego Store

The Legend of Zelda fans can save on Lego's 2-in-1 Great Deku Tree building set at Woot right now. The Amazon-owned retailer has the 2,500-piece display model for $265 (was $300). Woot's Lego deals tend to sell out fast, especially on pricey models that almost always sell for full price at major retailers. This is the second time Woot has had a deal on Lego's Great Deku Tree, and the previous deal sold out in hours.

This awesome Lego set lets Zelda fans build the Deku Tree based on its appearance in Breath of the Wild or Ocarina of Time. The Great Deku Tree launched in September 2024 on the Lego Store and at major retailers in January 2025. It's the first and currently only Zelda Lego set, but Lego recently teased a new release for 2026.

Lego Sale at Woot

The Great Deku Tree is one of numerous pricey Lego sets on sale at Woot. The deals officially end December 12, but all of the discounted sets will probably sell out before then. You can also save $60 on two massive Lord of the Rings models and four Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series sets, including a $70 discount on Jabba's Sail Barge. A fifth Star Wars USC model, The Razor Crest, has already sold out. Other notable discounted sets include Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale and X-Men: The X-Mansion.

Pokemon cards are as hot as they've ever been, and unfortunately for a local card shop in California, it means their merchandise was the target of a recent heist. On December 2, thieves targeted LA Sports Cards in Burbank and made off with $100,000 or more in Pokemon cards and other collectibles. The trio of thieves were captured on camera in KTLA 5's video report below.

Store owner Kiet Nguyen noted that the thieves seemed to know just where to go to get the most valuable Pokemon cards in the store. "Liquid assets" of unopened Pokemon boxes were also taken, and will be easy to sell because of how common they are. Additionally, the thieves stole rare sports cards that featured Mickey Mantle and Ronaldo among others.

The thieves were in and out of the store in around three minutes, and the report notes that this trio may have hit other card shops in Southern California. One of the thieves exposed part of his face during an earlier heist, and that could help police eventually track him and his partners down.

For a minute there, a full-on remake of Obsidian Entertainment's Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 was apparently in development. However, the project appears to have been put on hold, according to a new report.

According to Game File's reporting, new legal documents revealed that Aspyr and Lucasfilm Games were working on a full remake of KOTOR 2. Codenamed "Juliet" in the files, the project was a modern remake of the iconic 2004 RPG and was in development alongside the KOTOR remake, which developer Saber Interactive said is still coming. However, per Game File and unlike the KOTOR remake, development on the KOTOR II remake has ceased as recently as March 2025. Lucasfilm Games VP Douglas Reilly explained in depositions about the drama surrounding KOTOR II that, had the remake come to fruition, it would've contained the cut DLC that was teased when the game was announced for Nintendo Switch in 2022.

"'Juliet' was the codename for a project where we were going to do a full remake of KOTOR II," Reilly said. [It would have featured] modern art, modern gameplay, you know, keep the story and the characters and the general--the general content of KOTOR II, but remake it for modern hardware and modern machines with updated graphics and all those kinds of things. It was something we were discussing with Aspyr. ... The plan was that we would remake the content that was in the RCM as it relates to Star Wars in that Juliet project."

Adventure Time is one of Cartoon Network's breakout animated series. The show is set in the fantasy land of Ooo, and follow the adventures of Finn the Human and his adoptive brother, Jake the Dog. While the story starts as a fun fantasy adventure with equal parts homage and satire of the swords-and-sorcery genre, it slowly evolves into a sprawling epic with deep character development, and big narrative payoffs for longtime fans. The show is critically acclaimed for its strong storytelling and even stronger cast of characters, and its success has led to several spin-off projects, such as the Adventure Time: Distant Lands limited series, which is available on Blu-ray, and it's currently on sale for $12 (was $20) at Amazon.

Adventure Time isn't the only beloved Cartoon Network series on DVD. All 245 episodes--and the movie--of Regular Show were collected into a home media release so that you can catch up on the absurd escapades of Mordecai and Rigby for just $44.49.

Ubisoft has yet to share its plans for future Assassin's Creed games beyond Assassin's Creed Shadows, but that title's dual-protagonist setup with Yasuke and Naoe may not be the last time players get to have multiple characters to choose from.

"I think the learning for us is that, yes, we could do more dual-protagonist games in the future--if we have a good reason to do it narratively and for the setting," said Assassin's Creed Shadows associate director Simon Lemay-Comtois while speaking with GamesRadar.

Yasuke and Noae weren't the first dual protagonists in an Assassin's Creed game. Twins Jacob and Evie were featured in Assassin's Creed Syndicate. Shadows had more pronounced differences between its two heroes than Syndicate did. Yasuke was built for physical confrontations while Naoe was refined for stealth. Lemay-Comtois acknowledged those differences and some of the backlash the team faced because of Yasuke's inclusion.

Microsoft originally rejected a pitch to bring Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 to PlayStation consoles, but the company eventually agreed, and this led to a "whole avalanche" of Xbox games on PlayStation. That's according to Head of Microsoft Flight Simulator Jorg Neumann.

He told XDA-Developers that it was his own idea to bring Flight Simulator to PlayStation consoles, culminating with the launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 today, December 8, on PS4 and PS5.

The 2020 Flight Simulator game eventually grew to become 300 GB in size, and there was so much content planned that Neumann said the game could grow to become 1 TB. So instead of doing that, the team made a new game, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and the game now only has 8 GB of space for a requirement, with everything else sent to the cloud. This way of packaging the game allowed the game to come to other platforms, Neumann said.

The PlayStation 5 dominated Black Friday sales in the US, according to new data shared by Circana, which tracks gaming sales in the US.

Circana's Mat Piscatella said Sony's console made up 47% of total Black Friday week hardware unit sales, outpacing the Switch 2 (24%) and Nex Playground (14%). He didn't share any data about how Xbox performed.

"So, yeah, Black Friday week is extremely promotional for video games. Stuff that does not price promote (generally speaking, here) does not see much of a seasonal lift at all from the prior week (usually none). BF Week performance can correlate closely to what's being promoted and by how much," Piscatella said.

Elden Ring Nightreign launched with eight powerful nightfarers for you to use on your expeditions, each offering unique gameplay styles and abilities. However, the game's first (and potentially only) DLC, The Forsaken Hollows, introduces two new nightfarers that will mix things up even further: Scholar and Undertaker.

The Scholar is a support character with high Arcane scaling (perfect for bleed builds) who can buff party members, debuff enemies, and make use of a powerful passive that levels items by simply using them. Meanwhile, the Undertaker has incredible scaling in Strength and Faith, as well as a high-damage ultimate ability that can be triggered multiple times while using her character skill, making her a perfect choice for aggressive players who love to dish out the pain while also having some extra healing options.

If you're curious about these new characters and want to try them out for yourself, we've got you covered. Here's how to unlock the Scholar and Undertaker.

Nightdive Studios has announced that the System Shock remake will launch December 18 on Switch and Switch 2. The developer revealed that a critical decision regarding Unreal Engine made the ports possible, especially with the original Switch.

In a dev diary video on YouTube (seen below), Nightdive explains that the team first planned on utilizing Unreal Engine 5 for the remake of System Shock on Switch 2. But then Nightdive wondered about bringing the classic immersive to both Nintendo hybrid consoles and found out Unreal Engine 4 was a possibility. "Once we made that discovery, we did that big pivot for a few reasons--the biggest was stability," said developer Thomas Curnow.

What's in a name? If you're Square Enix, a lot, as the studio has yet to reveal the full title of Final Fantasy 7 Remake. That reveal could be soon, as Final Fantasy Remake Trilogy developers Naoki Hamaguchi and Tetsuya Nomura have revealed that the name for the threequel has been narrowed down to two options, with a decision expected by the end of the year.

"Me and Tetsuya Nomura have already narrowed it down to two, within the year we will decide on which one. Within this year, it will be set," Hamaguchi said in an interview with Julien Chièze (via a translation by Genki_JPN).

So far, the first two games in the Final Fantasy Remake trilogy have followed a similar naming convention. Remake got the ball rolling with its title, while Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth's title emphasized a new beginning for the franchise. So what could Part 3's name be if it follows this trend?

If you saw the Shenmue 4 trailer that went viral recently and were hoping it was leading to an announcement, then you're going to be disappointed. Ys Net, the studio founded by Shenmue creator Yu Suzuki, has issued a statement condemning the trailer as a fake while also hinting that it may take legal action against the trailer's creator.

In a post on social media, Ys Net said the fake Shenmue 4 trailer "uses our company logo without permission, falsely giving the impression that is an official Shenmue 4 related video produced by us." The statement adds that there have been no official Shenmue 4 materials released, and that the studio is "currently working with relevant parties and preparing appropriate measures, including potential legal action" against the creator of the trailer.

The original Shenmue was released in 1999 on Sega Dreamcast, and it cast players as a young man, Ryo Hazuki, as he sought to avenge his father's death. The game had innovative takes on open-world gameplay and quicktime events that proved to be very influential in the video game industry. Shenmue 2 followed in 2001, but the franchise went on hiatus due to low sales.

The Dead Space franchise is reportedly "on ice" at EA. And no, we're not referring to the frozen planet of Tau Volantis, the setting for Dead Space 3. Basically, there are no plans for a new sequel, remake, or even reboot of the survival-horror franchise.

Insider Gaming states that EA sources have informed them about the latest Dead Space direction--or lack of direction, in this case. In early 2023, a remake of Dead Space was released, making people speculate about a new sequel or future remakes. But instead, there reportedly won't be any sort of followup anytime soon. GameSpot has reached out to EA for comment.

The report adds that the same sources hope the company might sell the Dead Space franchise after EA sold itself for $55 billion to Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners, and the private equity firm Silver Lake. The deal could lead to $20 billion in debt. As such, there's speculation EA could auction off Dead Space to help pay off that gigantic amount. But that raises questions: What company would want to acquire Dead Space? And would the sum be even a drop in the bucket against $20 billion?

Where Winds Meet has blown up since its global PC and PlayStation 5 launch on November 14, becoming one of the hottest games on Steam as of late. The open-world Wuxia sim is so hot that the explosive and sustained player count has surprised developer Everstone Studio, who said the numbers exceeded internal expectations.

Lead producer Beralt Lyu spoke to FRVR about the game recently reaching nine million players on November 29, just two weeks after its worldwide launch. Lyu explained that while the team always had faith in their Wuxia world, they weren't expecting this much success this quickly.

"We hoped it would find its audience, the players who would love the freedom and mystery we tried to create," Lyu said. "But [nine] million players in two weeks … that number has honestly blown all our internal expectations out of the water. The mood in the studio is hard to put into words. There's definitely pride and excitement--seeing years of hard work resonate with so many people is a feeling like no other. But what really hits us, more than anything, is the sense of responsibility."

The battle for Warner Bros. is not over yet. After Netflix announced on Friday that it would buy the majority of the Warner Bros. entertainment assets, Paramount on Monday announced that it would offer billions more to buy the entirety of Warner Bros. Discovery as part of a hostile takeover bid.

Specifically, Paramount is offering $30 per share, compared to $27.75 from Netflix. That works out to $18 billion more in cash than Netflix. Additionally, Paramount wants to buy the entirety of WBD, not just the majority of the key entertainment assets that Netflix is proposing to buy.

Paramount's $30-per-share offer works out to a total enterprise value of $108.4 billion, which Paramount said is a 139% premium on where the company was trading at in September 2025. The value of Netflix's offer was $82.7 billion.

GameStop's "Trade Anything Day" took place on December 6 and, as expected, people brought in all manner of items to get some cash. GameStop said in a news release that it took in more than 80,000 trades across the US on December 6 alone, and people brought in lots of unexpected and usual items, including a taxidermied bobcat and goose, a speed limit sign, a Wii Netflix disc, a bowling ball, a tiny Jesus, and "a literal can of whoop-ass."

This was all done as a marketing campaign to raise awareness for GameStop's trade-in program. The retailer also noted that people brought in "a significant number" of canned food goods to support food banks and pet shelters.

One person attempted to trade in their dog (presumably as a joke, we hope!) but was rejected. Another person tried to trade in their Social Security card but GameStop said no. Someone else brought in a copy of the Declaration of Independence, and GameStop seemingly accepted it.
