Lego Ideas: Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. (613 Pieces) $63 (was $70) See at Amazon Pixar fans can save 10% on Lego's 613-piece model of Luxo Jr. and the Pixar Ball. Normally $70, Lego Ideas: Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. is on sale for $63. Lego's recreation of the iconic Pixar mascot launched last June and has rarely budged from its MSRP. The current discount is the best we've seen for the set, but it's not marked as an official deal. Over the past few weeks, Luxo Jr.'s price on Amazon has sometimes changed multiple times in a single day, so we wouldn't be surprised if the the price has changed again by the time you read this story. Lego Ideas: Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. (613 Pieces) $63 (was $70) The 613-piece replica of Luxo Jr. measures 5.5 x 4 x 11 inches--though Luxo Jr.'s height varies based on how you pose it. Luxo Jr. can stand next to the buildable Pixar Ball or balance on top of it by making a couple of simple adjustments.Lego designed Luxo Jr. as a fully articulated model capable of being displayed in poses from the iconic Pixar production logo and short film starring the semi-anthropomorphic lamp. The light bulb doesn't actually work, but Lego did a good job of making it look realistic.As a Lego model, Luxo Jr. is quite different than the vast majority of Disney Pixar building sets. Designed for experienced builders and collectors, the model has an interesting build process thanks to its multi-hinged arm, modifiable base, and the many Easter Eggs Lego worked into the authentic recreation.There are dozens of references to Pixar movies hidden throughout the Luxo Jr. and Pixar Ball builds. For instance, the Pizza Planet truck from the first Toy Story movie is included inside the light bulb. The lamp's base has a miniature build referencing Marlin & Dory from Finding Nemo as well as clever allusions to Inside Out, Cars, Coco, WALL-E, A Bug's Life--and possibly others that we missed.The instruction booklet calls out the Finding Nemo character builds as well as the mini-builds found in the Pixar Ball. The interior of the colorful ball features multiple characters from five different Pixar movies:Toy Story - Woody & BuzzUp - Carl & RussellMonsters, Inc. - Mike & SullyThe Incredibles familyRatatouille - Linguini & RemyAs mentioned, one of the display modes is Luxo Jr. "deflating" the toy ball, just like in the production logo's animation sequence. Once you remove two of the rounded plates from the ball, Luxo Jr. can connect to the top. It's a quick and easy modification. The Pixar Ball has its own buildable stand, so the model still feels stable with Luxo Jr. on the ball. See at Amazon Lego Ideas: Disney Pixar Luxo Jr. (21357) Luxo Jr. was the star of Pixar's first short film in 1986. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Short, but most Pixar fans were introduced to the character when it hopped across the screen to complete the Pixar logo at the beginning of Toy Story in 1995. The short film originally only played at film festivals and conventions, but it eventually played in theaters worldwide before screenings of Toy Story 2 in 1999.

In October 2025, rumors suggested that Larian Studios' hit RPG Baldur's Gate 3 could be getting a port for Nintendo's Switch 2. Unfortunately, that report has turned out to be inaccurate as Larian has confirmed that its wildly popular D&D will not be coming to Nintendo's console.During a recent AMA session on Reddit, Baldur's Gate 3 director Swen Vincke acknowledged that the company wanted to work on a Switch 2 port, but it was denied."We would have loved to [bring Baldur's Gate 3 to Switch 2], but [it] wasn't our decision to make," wrote Vincke. That likely means the port was either shot down by Nintendo or by Hasbro/Wizards of the Coast, which controls the rights for all things Dungeons & Dragons-related.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Leaderboards have previously been a part of the Diablo franchise, and starting today, they're back. Blizzard is releasing a new Diablo 4 update across all platforms that reintroduces leaderboards as well as the multi-level dungeons known as The Tower.Blizzard's official site states that The Tower and the leaderboards are both in beta, with more refinements to come in future seasons. The leaderboards will be divided by the seven playable classes--Paladin, Rogue, Druid, Barbarian, Sorcerer, Necromancer, and Spiritborn. Additionally, the leaderboard rankings will only be set for two weeks periods rather than the entire season. Essentially, everyone gets a chance for a fresh start while Blizzard works out any kinks in the system.The leaderboard's rankings are directly linked to The Tower as players' scores are tabulated based on their performance when fighting monsters and bosses. Experienced players with refined character builds should be right at home in the chaos. For less experienced players, The Tower provides enhanced damage levels when players destroy the numerous pylons in the complex. That may not be the equal of having incredibly powerful characters, but it means that players of all skill levels are far from helpless against the onslaught of creatures coming for them in The Tower.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Hytale has been on quite a development journey. After being acquired and subsequently shuttered by Riot Games, the original development team bought the Minecraft rival back and recommenced development in November 2025. On January 13, the title goes into early access, which the team acknowledges will be unpolished and full of bugs. Still, Hypixel--the developer behind one of the most popular Minecraft servers of all time--is expecting mammoth launch-day numbers, estimating "over 1 million" players. To that end, the studio is encouraging users to download the game's launcher ahead of time in order.Hypixel's CEO, Simon Collins-Laflamme, posted on X stating, "We expect over 1 million players on the early access release day for Hytale ... Please download the launcher today and log in now to help us significantly reduce launch-day stress." Hypixel's preorders have been open since early December, so the team has had around a month to gauge interest, meaning this player estimate is based on those figures and not just speculation.Hypixel has already allowed mod creators early access to the game so they can research and develop the best Hytale mods for the early access release. Modders are adding new game modes, cosmetics, items, and quality-of-life improvements to the game, with more being added daily. When the game launches tomorrow, January 13, all of those mods will be available via Curseforge thanks to an agreement between the modding platform and Hypixel Studios.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Palworld: Official Card Game, a brand-new trading card game based on Pocketpair's creature-collecting game, has been revealed by Bushiroad and developer Pocketpair. While details are light for now, the game already has a launch date penciled in for July 30.Bushiroad describes Palworld: Official Card Game as a two-player competitive card game where players can "enjoy strategic and tactical battles" by deploying unique Pals to the battlefield. "Players fight alongside their Pal companions, gathering resources, and building bases as they aim for victory," the description reads. Each Pal also has unique traits, and cleverly utilizing them can open up a path to victory. Rumblings of a Palworld trading card game kicked off last year after Pocketpair and Animate subsidiary COS purchased shares in Japanese card game publisher Bushiroad. Bushiroad Corporation's CEO and president, Takaaki Kidani, sold his shares to the company (via Automaton). This followed Pocketpair's formation of Palworld Entertainment, a new company arm dedicated to maximizing Palworld's merchandising opportunities.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Baldur's Gate 3 was the kind of game that could take hours to get started, thanks in part to a rich character customization suite that allowed players to fine-tune everything from their race to several minute details. For the upcoming Divinity, developer Larian Studios says that players can expect "even better" options for fine-tuning their character when the game eventually launches."We are planning to have an even better one! More colors, more options, more control," Divinity art director Alena Dubrovina wrote in a Reddit AMA session.That's a high bar for the studio to set, considering just how detailed the Baldur's Gate 3 character customization system is. Beyond the standard options, players can also tinker with unique biological traits depending on the race they choose, fiddle around with facial features, and much more. Just when you think you've got your character nailed down, the game also offers you a chance to design a Spirit Guardian for your adventurer, a character who will appear in your dreams.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com

Microsoft's Forza Horizon 5 continues to be a huge hit on PlayStation, it seems. Research from Alinea Analytics claims that the game just recently passed 5 million copies sold on PS5.This works out to more than $300 million in revenue on PS5 alone for the 2021 game. Alinea's Rhys Elliott said this data proves why Microsoft is keen to release more of its own games on a rival platform like Sony's PS5. "Xbox's move to third-party is no mystery, especially given Microsoft's lofty profitability mandates," Elliott said.As Microsoft does not keep 100% of the revenue, as Sony gets a cut for its platform fee. The industry standard revenue share is 70/30.Continue Reading at GameSpotInfo from Gamespot.com
