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.

There's a Baby Yoda Tamagotchi

This feels like something that should've been around longer. But now, we finally get it. There's a Tamagotchi version of Grogu a.k.a. Baby Yoda. You take care of the little guy by feeding him squid chowder and macarons and play mini-games. You can unlock a bunch of outfits for Grogu. 

But be warned, you shouldn't overfeed him. Apparently, "if you feed the Grogu Tamagotchi too much squid chowder, the squid will jump on him." According to Bandai Namco, the Grogu Tamagotchi will be available for preorder on Amazon "soon."

'The Book of Boba Fett' wrapped up production for Dec. 2021 debut on Disney+

Fans of Star Wars and The Mandalorian have something to look forward to before the year ends. The Book of Boba Fett, which stars Temuera Morrison (Aquaman) as the titular character, has already wrapped up production and is scheduled for a December 2021 release ahead of The Mandalorian's third season premiere.

Morrison talked to SFX Magazine about the show without giving too much away. Gizmodo shared a quote from Morrison talking about how filming was like during the pandemic. He said: "You walk on set, and you hear, 'Shields down! Shields down!' So we have to air those studios out every 20 minutes. It's called a purge, so you know you've got a toilet break then. There's a lot to shoot in one day, but with health and safety and the requirements, it filters out a lot of the bullshit, put it that way."
