As a huge LEGO and Star Wars fan, I was really interested to see the recent auction results for the LEGO Star Wars Trade Federation MTT (set 7662). This set originally retailed for around $100 back in 2007, but recently someone snagged it at auction for $725! Now, BrickEconomy estimates a complete, unopened version is worth closer to $1,250, so that buyer got a fantastic deal. It’s a pretty impressive set too – with over 1,300 pieces, it’s about 16 inches long and 10 inches tall, and comes with a whole army of Battle Droids and a Droideka. That’s why so many LEGO and Star Wars collectors consider it one of the best sets LEGO ever made.

It’s been a while since SEGA bought Rovio, the company behind Angry Birds, so it’s not surprising to see Red, one of their characters, appear in the new Sonic racing game, which features characters from different worlds.

The free game currently being given away with Xbox is a remastered version of the classic 1988 RPG, Wasteland. The original was created by Interplay Entertainment and published by Electronic Arts. This updated version was a collaboration between Krome Studios and InXile Entertainment, and published by Xbox Game Studios. It was released as an exclusive title for the Xbox One before Xbox began releasing games on other platforms. We don’t yet know why the game is free or how long it will remain available.

The Nintendo Switch game Super Nanaru, a 2D platformer released in 2022 by Tentacle Soft and published by CFK Co., has been removed from sale. The companies state this happened because the original copyright owner requested it. This suggests they had no control over the decision.

A listing on the website of Spanish retailer Wakkap suggests that a physical disc version of Red Dead Redemption for the PlayStation 5 will be available next month.

Good news for RPG fans! DESTINYbit has released a free demo on the PlayStation Store, letting you try out the game before its full launch on May 12th. You can download the demo here.

Henry Cavill shared an update via video message at the event, letting everyone know that filming for the movie is only about 50% complete. He believes they’re already making something really special. Details about the footage shown at the event are available below.

The Spaceballs 2 segment began with a message from Dark Helmet, but quickly transitioned to the iconic trailer voiceover. The footage is presented as a behind-the-scenes look at how Spaceballs 2 was approved, explaining the intentionally incomplete special effects. We see Dark Helmet wielding a triple lightsaber, followed by a bizarre shot of Harry Potter. The clip culminates in a final scene featuring Avatar and Dark Helmet sharing an awkward moment at a urinal, discussing size. After showing the footage, Mel Brooks announced the official title: Spaceballs: The New One.

The latest clip opens with Prince Adam being arrested and taken away in a police car. He tried to steal the Power Sword from a collectibles shop, insisting it belongs to him. Suddenly, Beast Man attacks, wrecking the police car and going after Adam. Luckily, Teela arrives to help – it’s the first time Adam has seen her since childhood. Teela rescues Adam, and after a brief conversation, asks if he’s ready to go home. The rest of the clip is mostly a longer version of the previous trailer, with just a few new scenes added.
