Lego Ideas: Gremlins Gizmo (1,125 pieces)

$110 | Releases October 1

See at Lego Store See at Target

October 1 is shaping up to be a great day for Lego enthusiasts with nostalgia for the 1980s. In addition to Lego's replica Game Boy, fans of the 1984 horror-comedy Gremlins will be able to build their own Gizmo. The 1,125-piece set is part of the Lego Ideas line, and we sure are happy this fan-submitted concept was turned into a real building set by Lego's designers. Gizmo looks absolutely adorable as a 8-inch Lego figure, and fans can preorder it now for $110 at Target and the Lego Store.

Lego Ideas: Gremlins Gizmo (1,125 pieces) $110 | Releases October 1

Once fully assembled, Gremlin the Mogwai measures 8 x 10.5 x 3.5 inches. To be clear, the 10.5-inch width measurement is due to Gizmo's large ears. This is a fully posable figure that can be displayed in standing and sitting positions. Gizmo's arms, hands, and even his little fingers are articulated. You can also rotate his head and adjust his ears.

The facial features are quite impressive. It looks like Lego did an excellent job capturing the charm of the little critter. You'll also build a pair of 3D glasses with red and blue frames, so make sure you have a stack of comic books ready for him. A "water splash" Lego element can be attached to Gizmo's back, but sorry, in order to replicate this Mogwai, you'd need to buy multiple Gizmo Lego sets.

The best thing about this set? You won't have to worry about getting it wet or letting it eat after midnight.

This Lego Gremlins was first unveiled over a year ago, as part of the If We Could Turn Back Time competition. The original Gizmo submission was entered by Terauma, and it was the overall winner. Interestingly, this isn't the first time Lego has entered the world of Gremlins, as Gizmo was available in minifigure form alongside Stripe as part of a Lego Dimensions toys-to-life add-on pack.

When it comes to preserving long forgotten or unavailable shooters, Nightdive Studios is leading the charge. While older games often struggle to be preserved properly due to a myriad of issues--licensing disputes, asset loss, tech limitations and simply being forgotten chief among them--studios like Nightdive have made a concentrated effort to prove that no game is beyond preservation. In the past few years, Nightdive has restored and released new versions of System Shock 2, Star Wars: Dark Forces, and Turok, bringing the beloved classics to modern audiences. Yet even more impressive is the studio's commitment to including a wealth of accessibility options, making these titles more playable and accessible than ever before.

Nightdive's most recent re-releases, Heretic and Hexen, are prime examples of this. Released in 1994 and developed by Raven Software, Heretic was one of many “Doom Clones” from that era. Instead of a space marine taking down the hordes of Hell, players took on the role of a spellcaster named Corvus who navigates a dark fantasy world brought to ruin by the Serpent Riders. Heretic is notable for being far more interactive in its environments compared to Doom and even allowed players to look up and down: a rarity for shooters at the time. A year later, Raven Software released Hexen: Beyond Heretic, a distant sequel to Heretic that saw players pick one of three protagonists as they set out to defeat the second of the Serpent Riders. Like its predecessor, Hexen was notable for its distinct features, such as a darker fantasy setting and a central hub that connected all the game's levels.

While these games had their devoted followings, neither reached the popularity of games such as Doom and Quake and, as such, fell into obscurity. For a long time it felt as if these games would never get their proper due. That all changed, however, at this year's Quakecon, when Microsoft and Nightdive announced a remastered collection featuring both games--complete with numerous accessibility options and enhancements--was now available. According to Nightdive founder and CEO Stephen Kick, Heretic and Hexen's focus on accessibility is not a passive effect of remaking the games, but an intentional choice that reflects the studio's larger priorities.

The secret entrance in Peak is one of the game's biggest current mysteries. Introduced with the Mesa update in August, the secret entrance leads to the Tomb, a hidden area found deep underground of the namesake biome.

The catch is that the secret entrance is not only hard to find, but there's no guarantee that you'll see it every day, due to the daily map rotation. If you're wondering where to find the secret entrance in Peak and when it opens, we've got you covered.

Note: This post includes story spoilers for Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate. We recommend you finish the campaign before reading this article.

Destiny 2 often uses expansions to introduce new characters and build out their stories. With The Edge of Fate, the first chapter of the new story arc Bungie calls the Fate Saga, the developer introduced a very new, very different kind of character, named Lodi. Your main point of contact in the expansion's destination, Kepler, Lodi has a deep, strange backstory that introduces a whole lot of new elements to the game's story and lore.

Lodi, it turns out, is a time traveler, kidnapped from his place in the distant past of the 1960s and flung through centuries as part of an unknown agenda. That makes him a different kind of character than Destiny 2 usually sees--his frame of reference is a lot closer to the people playing the game than the immortal Guardians who populate it. He's also much more of a "regular guy" than any of the characters the game has told stories about up to now, and that makes him something of an interesting anomaly in Destiny 2's world.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Destiny 2's latest expansion, The Edge of Fate. We recommend you complete its story campaign before reading further.

Destiny 2's 2024 expansion, The Final Shape, was the conclusion of stories the game and its predecessor had been telling for 10 years--which means that its newest chapter, The Edge of Fate, is setting out on a new course. That puts The Edge of Fate in uncharted waters (or maybe uncharted space) as it lays the groundwork for a new story, and determines the direction Destiny will head for the foreseeable future.

And a lot has changed with The Edge of Fate. The expansion takes players to Kepler, a new planetoid, with a story that hinges on the Nine--powerful interdimensional entities tied to the planets of the solar system. The Nine have been string-pulling entities existing mostly in the background of Destiny 2 for its entire run, but with The Edge of Fate, they're putting fingers on the scales and driving the narrative in the most direct way ever.
