If you use Epic Games, they are giving away LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga for free. Until next Thursday, December 12, you can get to keep it forever during Epic Games’ weekly free games giveaway. The game released over two years ago so you may already have it in your game library but free is free and another place you can play it.

LEGO has started a new LEGO Ideas building contest with the Build Your Nostalgia – 90s Throwback! in which the winning build will become an official set. You are now asked to build your favorite scene from a 90s show or movie. They already did the 80s a few months back and we will be getting The Goonies (1985)and Gizmo from Gremlins in the near future.
There are two parts to this challenge, The Opening Act, which you can use up to 5,000 parts to recreate your scene. The other part is The Next Chapter, going live January 7, and is a collaboration with Target to build a smaller scene up to 1,000 pieces.
