May 4 is still a few weeks away, but thanks to a new deal at Amazon on some of its Star Wars Lego sets, you can start celebrating the greatest sci-fi film ever made right now. If you've been waiting for a deal on some of these, you can save up to 26% off some core classics like the Millennium Falcon, the TIE Bomber, and R2-D2. Some of these prices are record lows, so it's a great time to fill in those holes in your collection.

We'll highlight a few of our picks, beginning with the beloved R2-D2, an icon that no Star Wars Lego collector should be without. Measuring 9 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 4 inches deep, R2 has a movable head that can be rotated 360 degrees, an attachable periscope and tools, and a detachable third leg. The set also comes with a 25th anniversary minifigure of Darth Malek from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This set is ideal for builders 10 years of age and up.

Everyone knows the iconic TIE Fighter, but true Star Wars ship fans also love the TIE Bomber, which made its first appearance in The Empire Strikes Back. Measuring 15.04 inches long, 10.32 inches wide, and 2.78 inches high, the bomber has a cockpit that opens so you can insert a minifigure and a warhead bay that holds four droppable torpedos, as well as a handy little cart to transport them with. You also get three minifigures with weapons, including Darth Vader, Vice Admiral Sloane, and a TIE Bomber Pilot, as well as everyone's favorite walking battery, the Gonk droid. Builders nine years old and up can take this one on.

March 2026 was a pretty great month for new releases, and according to new data by Circana, games like Crimson Desert, MLB The Show 26, and Pokemon Pokopia contributed to a bumper sales period.

Circana's Senior Director, Mat Piscatella, revealed that video game spending in the US reached $5.3 billion in March 2026, a 12% increase when compared to March 2025. New releases such as Crimson Desert, MLB The Show 26, and Pokemon Pokopia were some of the biggest winners, and video game hardware spending grew by 69% to $500 million when compared to a year ago. The Switch 2 remains the second fastest-selling hardware platform in the US, since Circana began tracking in 1995.

"Nintendo Switch 2 drove the overall gain, while PlayStation 5 spending increased by 3% compared to March 2025," Piscatella wrote. "Nintendo Switch 2 was the best-selling hardware platform across units and dollars for both March and the 2026 year-to-date, with PS5 ranking second across both measures and time periods."

Nintendo was a trailblazer of the platformer genre, but violence has always been baked into its formula. One of the very first things you do, in the very first Super Mario Bros. game, is stomp on a Goomba. Yoshi games have typically skewed to the younger side of Nintendo's target audience, but they're often still recognizable as traditional, if gentle, platformers. Yoshi's next game, Yoshi and the Mysterious Book, is so gentle it has eliminated combat almost entirely. You can't die. You mostly don't eliminate enemies. But in its place, Nintendo has found an inventive new hook focused on creative play.

The eponymous Mysterious Book here is Mister Encyclopedia, aka Mr. E, a talking compendium of all the various flora and fauna that inhabit this land. His pages have gone blank, and he asks for the Yoshis' help restoring them. That framing makes your job squarely about research and observation, which in turn makes the proceedings mostly peaceful and playful.

To aid in the research, Yoshi's 2D moveset is even more generous than usual. You can still grab things with your tongue, but it's multidirectional. You can aim eggs using the right stick. You can flutter-jump seemingly endlessly, which keeps you at a steady height but can't keep reaching perpetually higher. And you can use a tail-swipe move to have a creature ride on your back, or switch between them. You're always Yoshi, but which rider is with you can have different effects. With this suite of moves in tow, you can open up the book and peer into its pages, using Mr. E's magnifying glass monocle to identify which creature habitat you want to examine. Then your chosen Yoshi will jump into the book and start poking around.

Roblox has a tricky tightrope to walk between making its online sandbox safe and keeping it fun. On one side, players rail against changes locking off social settings and requiring privacy-threatening age checks, and on the other side Roblox is beset by lawmakers claiming the platform isn't doing enough. It's a balancing act, but at the moment Roblox doesn't seem to be pleasing anyone.

Roblox has long faced controversy fuelled by its young-skewing player base, from accusations of child labor exploitation to a bombshell Bloomberg report that alleged Roblox had become a hotbed for child predators. The company has faced legal action from many states across the US and internationally, including from LA, Australia, Texas, Louisiana, California, and more.

The company's responses to such accusations haven't always made for great PR, from CEO David Baszucki's notoriously poor handling of a New York Times interview to studio head Stefano Corazza saying Roblox was doing a good thing by allowing 15-year-olds to work. While defensiveness has often been the company's go-to response to accusations around safety, the mounting pressure has now seen Roblox pull the trigger on a number of sweeping platform changes.
