It comes with a roof rack, engine snorkel, offroad front bumper and working winch, side rails, fire extinguisher, toolbox, traction plates for crossing mud, and more.

If you've ever thought of building The Mandalorian's iconic ship, you'll get the chance to do that with Lego. The company just launched a 6,187-piece construction set of the Razer Crest for US$600 (around CA$819). Of course, the ship will come with minifigures of Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda), Mando, Kuiil, Mythrol, and a buildable Blurrg.

This rather expensive model is large at 72 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 24 cm high. You get removable engines and cockpit, an escape pod, and a mini figure-size carbon-freezing chamber. It also comes with a stand and information plaque you can display after it's built. Yes, there is also the shift knob that's fascinated Baby Yoda. If you're willing to drop the big bucks, LEGO VIP members get first dibs starting October 3, with everyone else getting the chance to buy one starting October 7 online and through LEGO stores.

Lego honours the 50th anniversary of the Atari 2600 with this new set. Instead of the 1977 console, it brings to life the 1980 revision through a new Lego set with 2,352 pieces. It'll be available on August 1 for US$239.99 (around CA$310). This model includes a controller with a movable joystick and three game cartridges that fit into the Lego console. Those classic games are Asteroid, Adventure, and Centipede. Three external dioramas show off blocky recreations of the games. And if you open up the console, there's even a diorama of a 1980s living room. If you want to bring that nostalgia into your life, you might want to get your hands on one of these.

Lego's Super Mario sets haven't had any of the game's leading ladies since it was introduced two years ago. But that's about to change, at least for Princess Peach. Lego commemorates Mar10 Day by bringing the princess to its Super Mario Adventures range. 

Her Starter Course will be available on August 1 for US$60 (approx. CA$76). A combo Cat Peach suit and Frozen Tower expansion set will launch on the same day for US$80 (approx. CA$102). There will also be other Super Mario expansion sets and accessories coming on that day. Lego has even teased Peach's Castle, Yoshi's Gift house, and Goomba's Shoe sets, but we don't know when these will come out and for how much.
