Lego Marvel: Iron Man Mark 3 Collector's Edition (1,297 Pieces)

$130 | Releases January 1, 2026

Preorder at Amazon Preorder at Target Preorder at Lego

Lego has revealed the first batch of Marvel building sets for 2026. Six Lego Marvel sets launch January 1, and while Spider-Man is featured in four of them, the marquee product celebrates Iron Man. The Iron Man Mark 3 Collector's Edition is a 1,297-piece display model for adults, and it's priced lower than Lego Marvel fans might expect based on that description. You can preorder the large-scale Iron Man Lego figure for $130 at Amazon, Target, and the Lego Store.

Spidey fans can preorder Spider-Man vs. Mysterio: The Daily Bugle, a 781-piece playset, for $100 at the Lego Store. The four other upcoming Marvel sets, including two "Epic Battle" models featuring Hulkbuster vs. The Hulk and Spider-Man vs. Sandman, aren't available to preorder yet. The other two small playsets feature Spider-Man vs. Venomized Wolverine and Spider-Man vs. Ghost Rider and his motorcycle, which is pretty cool.

Lego Marvel: Iron Man Mark 3 Collector's Edition (1,297 Pieces) $130 | Releases January 1, 2026

Lego's latest Iron Man display model will seemingly usher in a new era for Marvel building sets designed for adults. The Iron Man Mark 3 figure will be the only Lego Marvel model with "Collector's Edition" in its official name. Lego has done this with some large Harry Potter sets, and Star Wars has the Ultimate Collector Series, so it makes sense that some Marvel sets would have a similar designation.

The Mark 3 figure is arguably Lego's best-looking Iron Man build yet; at the very least, it's the most realistic depiction of Tony Stark's iconic suit from the MCU. The Mark 3 holds an important place in MCU lore, as it was the primary armor worn by Robert Downey Jr. in 2008's Iron Man, the first movie in the Avengers: Infinity Saga arc. That distinction makes it a fitting debut for the Lego Marvel Collector's Edition series.

The highly detailed 1,297-piece figure is over 15 inches tall when connected to the buildable display stand. The model measures up to 8 inches wide and 4 inches deep, depending on the pose. It has multiple points of articulation, including the neck, shoulders, waist, wrists, and hands. Lego says the final step to the build is to connect the Arc Reactor. It could just be the pictures, but the gold-lacquered pieces look a bit better compared to the Lego Iron Man MK4 Bust that launched earlier this year.

The model comes with a name plate to attach to the stand and an Iron Man Lego minifigure wearing the Mark 3 Armor. The minifigure's helmet can be removed and has a retractable visor. The Tony Stark minifigure is a new design, too.

The Iron Man Mark 3 Collector's Edition will have support for the Lego Builder app's Build Together feature, which makes it easy for up to four Marvel fans to piece together the new Iron Man figure as a group.

The day has finally arrived--after months and months of leaks and rumors, Fortnite's Simpsons season launches today. Just not quite yet, because Fortnite is offline for maintenance following the "Welcome, Our Alien Overlords" event, during which players were treated to a Simpsons short film that explained how they ended up being a part of the Fortnite omniverse.

As is standard operating procedure for Epic, Fortnite goes offline when it's time for a major update. While this usually happens during the middle of the night on a weekday, this season launch is a special event, and as such, it'll kick off on a Saturday evening. That's why it's offline for maintenance now--Epic wants the launch of Fortnite x Simpsons to arrive during primetime on a Saturday night.

When is Fortnite Simpsons season expected to launch?

Epic is planning to bring Fortnite back online for The Simpsons season at 2 PM PT / 5 PM ET, though that time is an estimate and not set in stone. In reality, Fortnite maintenance rarely ends on schedule, as it's simply done when it's done--which actually often means sooner than expected. Fortnite maintenance usually lasts between four and seven hours, and the planned start time here splits the difference exactly at 5.5 hours of downtime. So don't be surprised if the season starts a little before or a little after that time.

Pokemon Go's Tales of Transformation season continues in October with a variety of different events happening over the next few weeks. In addition to new Spotlight Hours and raid bosses, the game will host a few autumn-themed activities this month like the Harvest Festival, which will introduce two new evolved forms of Applin.

On top of that, there's also Mega Rayquaza Raid Day to look forward to, as well as an event to celebrate the launch of the Pokemon series' latest title, Pokemon Legends: Z-A. And of course, October wouldn't be complete without the annual Halloween event, which will be split up into two parts this year and add a few new ghost and costumed Pokemon to catch.

Grand Theft Auto 6 is just over six months away, but there's something brewing at the game's developer, Rockstar Games. The studio fired between 30 and 40 staff members from offices in the United Kingdom and Canada earlier this week. The terminated employees were reportedly attempting to unionize when they were let go.

Bloomberg broke the story, and added that all of the fired employees were part of a private trade union chat group on Discord. According to a spokesperson for the Independent Workers' Union of Great Britain, the group was a mix of members who had already joined the union and others who were trying to organize a union at Rockstar.

"Rockstar has just carried out one of the most blatant and ruthless acts of union busting in the history of the games industry," said IWGB president Alex Marshall in a statement. "This flagrant contempt for the law and for the lives of the workers who bring in their billions is an insult to their fans and the global industry."

Keyboards have more than 100 keys, but there are four that are most important to people who play video games: W, A, S, and D. There are games that use more than these keys, yes--StarCraft, League of Legends, and World of Warcraft use all sorts of combinations--but the majority of games rely on a small sampling of numbers and letters on the keyboard. There are practical reasons for this, to be sure: Computer games often require one hand on a mouse, the other on a keyboard. There are a ton of keys that are simply out of reach. If you've got two hands on the keyboard, you're probably not playing a video game. But you could be.

Typing games have existed for decades, once largely considered educational tools designed to help kids learn to use a keyboard. Millennials played games like Typer Shark and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing in their computer lab classrooms, before computers were commonplace in home offices. As computers, namely laptops, started to proliferate, computer labs started to disappear--and so did the need for educational typing games. But from the ashes of the computer lab, typing games have reemerged, pulling from the educational genres toolbox while putting a new spin on the niche genre.

Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, released in 1987 and developed by Software Toolworks, is the quintessential typing game. It wasn't the first typing game, but it was among the first. Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing is certainly the most prominent; Mavis herself is the face of the typing genre, even today.

Last month, Supergiant Games officially launched Hades 2 out of early access, and sent the princess of the underworld, Melinoe, on a quest to defeat the titan Chronos. The original ending of the game wasn't very well-received. But in Hades 2' first post-launch patch, the true ending may give fans a better conclusion than the previous finale.

There have been some sizable additions to build up to the true ending, including new events and voiceovers, as well as changes to the fated prophecy adjustments, and the ability to use a cauldron incarnation to take you back to an earlier point in the game. However, the true ending will require a higher number of Underworld clears than before. The game's epilogue isn't being changed.

The specific changes involving the special encounters have been marked as spoilers by Supergiant. Without giving any story points away, one character may appear less frequently, and one will appear more often.
