    I have a problem, and it's this new Star Wars toy. No, really. I went to Disney HQ in London recently to check out new merch ahead of May 4 (AKA Star Wars Day), and there was one thing everyone went nuts over – a screen-accurate, remote control mouse droid just like the ones found scooting around the Death Star like an uppity Roomba. There were plenty of other cool Star Wars toys to mess about with during the presentation, but this one beat them all.

    I didn't know how much I loved skeletons until the Warhammer Deathrattle Army Set shuffled onto my doorstep. Before you call the authorities, let's back up for a second. If you haven't kept up with the news, this box revamps the Soulblight Gravelords faction for the Warhammer Age of Sigmar's latest edition.

    Prepare yourself for Lego Marvel's newest unveiling, the Peter Parker and daddy Stark dynamic duo, in Lego bust form. The two new Lego sets are the 76327 Iron Man MK4 Bust and 76326 Iron Spider-Man Bust which will officially release July 1 and August 1, respectively. And with movement and detailing like this, these sets could well be contenders for our list of the best Lego sets.

    The Soulblight Gravelords are marching back onto Warhammer Age of Sigmar tables very soon, but is that reflected by Deathrattle Army Set stock? The answer is a distinct "sort of."If you go straight to the source (or hit larger retailers), you'll be plum out of luck. But if you head down paths less trodden and try independent retailers instead, you'll have much more fortune when it comes to Deathrattle Army Set stock.

    A new Star Wars: Unlimited expansion has been lifted from the murk like an X-Wing from a Dagobah swamp, and Legends of the Force will arrive in July 2025. Revolving around the supernatural Force itself (both Light and Dark sides), Star Wars: Unlimited Legends of the Force introduces 'Force Token' cards to gameplay. These let you utilize special abilities during your round but can only be generated under specific circumstances.

ICYMI: We were able to reveal two new @DisneyLorcana cards for Valentine's Day! It's only right that these two will kick butt when paired in a deck. https://t.co/t3nwOm3Vns
