The post You can get the Stranger Things Hellfire Club t-shirt for yourself, and its awesome appeared first on Game News.
]]>That’s our cue. We’ve been busy hunting down offers on this tee ever since Vol. 1 hit our screens, and that means you’ll find the best deals here. Want a basic Hellfire Club t-shirt with the logo on the front, for example? Amazon’s selling it in a variety of sizes for $22.99 (opens in new tab) (or £17.99 (opens in new tab) if you’re UK-based). Meanwhile, those who’d prefer the screen-accurate shirt can grab it from Amazon for $32.99 (opens in new tab) or £15.99 in the UK (opens in new tab). While this isn’t strictly a baseball tee with shorter sleeves as per the show, it’s the closest you’ll get for now and is pretty decent on balance. You can also get something similar from Amazon for around $15.99 (opens in new tab), but we haven’t seen many user reviews yet so would advise approaching with caution.
If you’re happy to wait, you can actually back-order the true baseball-style Hellfire Club t-shirt from Hot Topic (opens in new tab) as well. While stock isn’t due to arrive until late August, you can at least get one eventually – which is more than many of us are able to say right now. Seriously, this thing is almost as difficult to find as a PS5 restock.
That’s certainly the situation across the pond. UK fans were able to pick up a Hellfire Club t-shirt from high street chain Primark for £10 (opens in new tab) (which was a steal no matter how you slice it), but it’s now unavailable online and most stores have run out. As such, the best screen-accurate version available to Brits is the one we mentioned earlier from Amazon for £15.99 (opens in new tab) (with £3.99 postage). We were a little wary at first because it’s from a third-party seller, but user reviews have been overwhelmingly positive so it’s worth a purchase nonetheless. If you’d prefer it as a short-sleeved tee, on the other hand, you can grab one for £13.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab).

If you want the screen-accurate version of the Hellfire Club t-shirt, this is where to get it. The one being sold at Hot Topic (opens in new tab) is almost certainly better in terms of quality overall (as is the one with a gray background instead of white from Zavvi for $25.99 (opens in new tab)), but stock won’t be arriving until late August. As for the UK, you can get it for £15.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab) or £23.99 from Truffle Shuffle (opens in new tab). Go get ’em.

Yes, you can actually buy the official Hawkins High Hellfire Club t-shirt. And no, it’s not a knock-off. While it’s a shame there isn’t one with a white background at Amazon like the show, the logo on this tee is otherwise identical (and if you want a shorter tee with the white background, you can get it for $19.99 from Zavvi (opens in new tab)).
UK price: £17.99 at Amazon

No matter which version of the shirt you end up with, they’re all great bits of Stranger Things merch. For starters, they’re not too showy about the connection to the TV show – there’s no distracting ‘Stranger Things’ logo emblazoned across the front to ruin the design, so you won’t feel like a walking billboard (though fans should still recognize and appreciate it right away). It’s also the perfect get-up for anyone settling in for a session with Dungeons and Dragons books or one of the best tabletop RPGs. Seriously, the Hellfire Club t-shirt is practically made for your next games night.
Just move fast if you find a good price. Now that Season 4 is back for Vol. 2, these shirts are bound to sell out again before the weekend is through. We’ve been burned by that before, so it’s probably a good idea to invest now if you want to avoid disappointment.

Galactic Snackin’ Grogu | $84.99 $34.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Best gift for kids – There have been a few animatronic Baby Yoda toys over the last two years, but this has to be our favorite of the bunch. With a wider range of motion and unique responses to accessories that come in the box (like Star Wars-themed snacks you can ‘feed’ him with), it’s a lot more advanced than anything that came before. Make sure you buy extra AA batteries to keep this Star Wars gift running!

Darth Vader helmet (pre-order) | $131.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Launches January 1 – This is comfortably one of the coolest replicas we’ve ever seen. Thanks to hyper-detailed decoration and spot-on painting, it feels as if it’s been stolen from a movie set. It also comes apart as per the original trilogy and Obi-Wan Kenobi, so any self-respecting fan would go nuts for this Star Wars gift.

Galaxy of Creatures plushies | $9.99 at Target (opens in new tab)
Tying in with the Galaxy of Creatures animated videos on YouTube (opens in new tab), these toys are designed in the same style as the Galaxy’s Edge plushies (which you can find below). That means they have a distinctly handmade feel that sets them apart from other Star Wars gifts. They’re supposed to look like someone in a galaxy far, far away stitched them together from whatever they had available, and that really comes across here. Be aware that they’re only available at Target, though.
UK deals: Unavailable (see Galaxy’s Edge plushies at Amazon (opens in new tab) instead)
Academy Level 1 Lightsaber (Blue) | $16.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
You can’t have a Star Wars gifts list without lightsabers on it, right? This light-up toy can be extended with a flick of the wrist, and it’s compatible with the Academy app as well. While it’s not quite as good as the Lightsaber Forge option further down the page (it’s flimsier and won’t last as long), this is still a fair place to start if you’re seeking out a cheap present for a Star Wars-loving youngster.

Star Wars: Light of the Jedi (The High Republic) | $16 $13.49 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Save 20% – This is the first novel in a new Star Wars storyline set hundreds of years before the films, and it’s pretty great. Besides offering all the adventure you’d expect from a series like this, it also provides a glimpse at the Jedi before they lost their way in the prequel movies. There are plenty more books and comics that continue the storyline after this one too, so you have some easy follow-up Star Wars gifts if needed.

The Black Series: Darth Vader | $34.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Few villains are as iconic as Darth Vader, so being able to get the Dark Lord of the Sith for your shelf, desk, or toybox ranks highly amongst Star Wars gifts. Based on the character’s appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, this is a phenomenally detailed figure that somehow manages to be rather imposing despite only weighing in at six inches tall. The Star Wars Black Series is known for its detailed miniatures, but this takes things to another level.

Geeki Tikis The Mandalorian mug | $32.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)

They’ll then be able to choose from a broad range of clothing, toys, and collectibles. You can also decide exactly how much you want to give thanks to card values ranging from $25 to $100 (or more, if you really want a gift they’ll never forget).

Designed to be interchangeable with other Forge products, this range offers an opportunity to mix and match pieces in order to create your very own lightsaber (as we mentioned in our Lightsaber Forge (opens in new tab) guide, it lights up with all the appropriate clash/’vroom’ sounds too). This one is based on the weapon carried by Luke, Anakin, and Rey, and because it’s arguably the most iconic item in the franchise, any young fan would be thrilled to have this Star Wars gift.

We’ve had our fair share of Star Wars video games over the last few years, but as we pointed out in our Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order review (opens in new tab), few can match this one in terms of storytelling or action. It’s a brilliant addition to the saga and is well worth playing for fans, so we can’t recommend it enough if you’re after cool Star Wars gifts. It’s available on both PlayStation or Xbox, so double-check what they have just in case you get it for the wrong system (note that this game is compatible with PS5 or Xbox Series X as well).

With the esteemed bounty hunter getting his own show on Disney Plus, it’s no surprise to see Boba Fett enjoying a fresh wave of merch to go with the series. This offering from Lego remakes his ship as it appeared in The Mandalorian, and it’s surprisingly affordable considering how iconic the craft is. You’re getting minifigures of Boba Fett himself and the Mandalorian too, which is a nice bonus.

Galactic Snackin’ Grogu | $84.99 $34.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Save 57% – Baby Yoda has charted a path of ruthless world domination when it comes to merchandise, and for good reason: he’s freakin’ adorable. When combined with this version’s wider range of motion and his many accessories, even the strongest heart should melt. Whereas previous animatronic toys just lifted their arms and wiggled their ears a bit, this one has context-sensitive reactions that allow it to ‘levitate’ the show’s silvery gearshift toy, feed on a delicious/gross octopi broth, close its eyes, move its mouth, and wobble those sail-like ears. It’s also been given a slightly more cartoonish makeover so should be an especially popular Star Wars gift with younger fans.

Disney Plus gift card (1 year) | $79.99 at Disney Plus (opens in new tab)
For those of us who leave the present-buying a bit late, gift cards like this one are beyond helpful. Arriving as a code instantly at an email address of your choice, it can be scribbled into a card or printed off if you’d prefer. The recipient will then be able to get 12 months of the Disney streaming service once they’ve redeemed it, giving them access to every single Star Wars movie and TV show. That makes it one of the best Star Wars gifts of the lot, particularly if the recipient hasn’t seen The Mandalorian yet. Just make sure they don’t have a Disney Plus membership already; otherwise, the card won’t work.

]]>That’s where we come in. We’ve rounded up some of the best Fortnite merchandise going right here, and these picks make excellent additions to your shelf or as gifts for gamers. Besides providing inspiration no matter whether you’re shopping for yourself or someone else, the following Fortnite merch should suit every budget too.

If you want to wear something Fortnite-themed while flossing to your latest Victory Royale, there are plenty of branded t-shirts to choose from. Here are some of our favorite options.

– Men’s fit
– Women’s fit
– Youth fit
Sometimes you’ve gotta keep it simple, and this officially licensed design is fun without being over the top. While many reviews we’ve seen say its colors could be brighter in reality, it still garners a lot of praise overall. What’s more, it tips its cap to many of the game’s best-loved characters so should go down well with fans of any age.

– Men’s fit
– Women’s fit
– Youth fit
There’s something about this piece of Fortnite merch that really caught our eye. With a cutaway effect that shows off many of the franchise’s best-known characters, it’s an appealing design for both the young and young at heart. Plus, its reviews are overwhelmingly positive, so you can’t go too far wrong.

– Men’s fit
– Women’s fit
If you want something that’s distinctly ‘Fortnite’ without screaming about it from the rooftops, this is a solid option. Celebrating the famed Victory Royale with a rather handsome gradient effect, it’s a subtle but classy option that comes in a variety of colors (black, blue, and white). It reviews well too, showing that this is a safe choice.
As you’d expect, one of the biggest franchises in the world has spawned more than a few action figures since its launch in 2017. That gives us a lot of ground to cover, so strap in. To help narrow things down, we’ve listed what we think are the best Fortnite toys below.

This pack combines everything that’s great about Fortnite – wacky characters, the ability to construct wackier buildings, and lots of weapons. That alone puts it at the top of our best Fortnite merchandise list. It’s also a nostalgic throwback to how Fortnite used to be way back when Battle Royale mode first launched in 2017, making it the perfect choice for fans who’ve been here since the start.

This is one of those characters that doesn’t need an in-depth backstory or compelling arc – they just look awesome, and much like Boba Fett from Star Wars, that’s enough. Although there are very cool figures representing Drift elsewhere, this Funko version of the Legendary Outfit is amongst our favorites. If you ask us, it’s the best of the entire POP range as well. It would appear we’re not alone in thinking that; it enjoys overwhelmingly positive user reviews on Amazon.

Ah, the Loot Llama. A magnificent and majestic creature that inspires awe in all that – oh, forget it. This in-game supply cache is superbly derpy, and we love its vacant stare with all our heart. It’s a goofy fan-favorite that’s an iconic part of the franchise, and you can pick up your own miniature version via this plushie toy. It’s affordable, full of personality, and too dang cute despite being a mere seven inches tall.

If we didn’t like Fortnite already, this toy would convince us within milliseconds. Adapting the adorable kitten Kit and its robot mech suit of death, the figure is every bit as fun and chaotic as you’d hope for. There are buzz-saws. A shotgun. A plunger gun that fires out a line of string. Along with an impressive 38 points of articulation, this piece of Fortnite merchandise is a winner.

Despite being a few years old now, the Raven character is still comfortably one of the best from Fortnite. That makes any Raven toy hot stuff in the world of Fortnite merchandise, and this six-inch figure does the brooding warrior justice. Because they’re so hard to come by in the main game these days, being able to secure one in physical form makes a great gift – either for yourself or a loved one.

Nothing captures how utterly bizarre Fortnite can be than Peely, the anthropomorphic banana man. A sentient piece of fruit with a taste for blasting people apart on the battlefield, it’s one of the most enduring skins in the game – and this mini four-inch figure does the character justice despite that smaller size. Besides being pretty affordable, it also comes with building materials that you can add to your structures.
These toys might be the most on-brand Fortnite merchandise out there. Big, bold, and brightly colored, they recreate the game’s most iconic weapons in cartoonish style. That means you can get a Victory Royale in real life anywhere from the back yard to your college dorm room, so we’ve pulled together some recommendations to get you started with the best Fortnite Nerf guns.

The best Fortnite toy gun overall
Ages: 8+Ammo: 10 Elite dart clip
+Looks just like the game version+Motorized firing+Standard magazine with Elite darts
-Requires four batteries
For Nerf warriors seeking the ultimate Fortnite blaster, it doesn’t get much better than this. Besides being a spot-on recreation of the gun from the video game (besides a more family-friendly aesthetic, anyway), it has a battery-powered motor that fires Nerf bullets much faster than the competition. So long as you can keep it stocked with four AA batteries, the AR-L is a force to be reckoned with. Simply hold down the power-up button on the handle and pull the trigger. It’ll do the rest.
Aside from its capabilities in soft-play battle, there’s plenty of versatility on offer with this blaster as well; thanks to an an accessory rail on the surprisingly lightweight gun, you can customize your setup with standard Nerf extras. Plus, it uses an interchangeable 10-dart clip with standard Elite ammo. That means you can stock up on darts for less, or swap in other Nerf magazines you already own. When combined with a very satisfying “ka-KLUNK” noise upon inserting the mag, it’s hard to argue that this Fortnite toy isn’t cool.

The best cheap Fortnite Nerf gun
Ages: 8+Ammo: 3 Elite darts
+Affordable+More portable+Cool loading mechanism
-Bigger than you might think
In our opinion, this is the best cheap Fortnite blaster on the market right now. While it doesn’t boast a bargain-bin price, it’s still a damn sight cheaper than many of the best Nerf guns. It isn’t a single-shot novelty like other budget options either – it carries three darts at a time that can easily loaded into the top. While that means you can’t spray-and-pray like the AR-L listed above, it does make the SP-L a good sidearm for desperate last stands or more careful marksmanship.
And if we’re being honest, it just looks awesome; those oversized proportions mimic the in-game item perfectly, making it a great curiosity to own if you love Fortnite. Add bonus cool-factor through the way it readies for the next shot (you pull back the top after firing like some soft-play cowboy) and a removable silencer to provide one top-tier Fortnite toy.

The best premium Fortnite Nerf gun
Ages: 8+Ammo: 6 Nerf rockets
+Fires big foam rockets+Brings a sense of awe to games+C’mon, it’s a grenade launcher
-Requires setup
OK, so this option stretches the definition of ‘blaster’. But come on – a freakin’ Nerf grenade launcher is undeniably dope. It’s an excellent bit of Fortnite merch for fans that want to intimidate their foes on the battlefield, largely because it packs enormous Nerf rockets.
Although some stamina is required to fire these due to the pump-action mechanism (and the toy arrives with a disassembled drum, so you’ll need to put it together before you do anything else), the effort is worth your while. The GL carries six of these rockets, which is more than any other Nerf gun, and that means you won’t have to immediately reload like you would with the standard Fortnite RL.

]]>The post You can literally get in the trash (compactor) with these new Star Wars Lego sets appeared first on Game News.
]]>These Star Wars Lego sets are something of a departure for the company; although you can still set them up as you see fit, they’re dioramas on scenic display bases that feature quotes from the movie in question. As an example, the Dagobah kit features Yoda’s famous “do or do not. There is no try” line. So far as we can tell, that’s a first amongst Lego Star Wars sets.
While the Death Star Trench Run Diorama (available for $59.99 from Lego (opens in new tab) and what we assume will be the same price from Amazon (opens in new tab), once it’s up for purchase) is awesome, the standout might just be the Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama. You can pre-order it for $89.99 from the official Lego Store (opens in new tab), and it features a moving wall to squeeze in the characters. There’s even a miniature version of R2-D2 and C-3PO on the other side, recreating the moment where they try to shut the compactor down.

The Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama (which you can pick up for $79.99 via Lego’s site (opens in new tab) and soon from Amazon (opens in new tab)) also has plenty of cool-factor. It depicts Yoda’s hut – that he’s able to actually go inside – amongst the swampy forest, Luke’s submerged X-Wing, and the young Skywalker himself as he tries to lift his starfighter free with the Force. It’s a clever piece that doesn’t waste an inch of space.
You’ll find a more detailed breakdown of each Star Wars Lego set below. We’ve included the latest Lego deals further down the page as well if you’re in the market for something new.
Lego Death Star Trench Run Diorama | $59.99 at Lego (opens in new tab) / Amazon (opens in new tab)
Ships April 26 – The cheapest of the new diorama kits is based on Luke’s final gambit in A New Hope. Once you’ve constructed the complex machinations and turrets of the battle station itself, you can place Luke’s X-Wing, Darth Vader’s personal craft, and two TIE Fighters into the action with clear plastic stands. Two of these can be blasting lasers at Luke as well, adding to the drama of the scene. All told, this set has 665 pieces.
UK price: £54.99 at Lego (opens in new tab)

Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama | $79.99 at Lego (opens in new tab) / Amazon (opens in new tab)
Ships April 26 – Pulled straight from Luke’s arc in The Empire Strikes Back, this kit (with its 1,000 pieces) shows off Yoda’s hut in the heart of the swampy Dagobah forest. The trailing leaves and clear green bricks for water give it a real sense of place, and it manages to cram a lot of detail into a very small space.
UK price: £69.99 at Lego (opens in new tab)

Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama | $89.99 at Lego (opens in new tab)
Ships April 26 – This is the most expensive of the new diorama kits, but it’s also potentially the coolest. Using its 802 pieces, it depicts the original movie’s trash-related escapades as Luke, Leia, Han, and Chewbacca become in danger of being squashed by the Death Star’s waste-disposal system. The walls even move in or out, which is fun.
UK price: £79.99 at Lego (opens in new tab)

]]>The post Best The Batman merchandise – the most tempting t-shirts, toys, and more appeared first on Game News.
]]>You’ve got plenty to choose from. The Batman merchandise ranges from obligatory Funko POPs to t-shirts and everything in between, but there are some real standouts that caught our eye. As an example, this snapback baseball cap is pretty awesome. Although it weighs in at a rather expensive $39.36 on Amazon (opens in new tab), it’s made from a wicked leather-effect material and features a “distinctive armor style design”. At the other end of the scale, the Lego Batman & Selina Kyle Motorcycle Pursuit (available for $14.97 at Amazon (opens in new tab)) is a good way of getting a cheap memento of the film. Besides featuring the film’s leads in full costume, it also includes the Bat-signal as well. It’s a perfect snippet of the movie.
Anyway, let’s get to it. Here’s the best The Batman merchandise on shelves right now.
The Batman Scribbles Bat Logo t-shirt | $23.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – There’s some stiff competition from the many, many other tees out there celebrating The Batman, but this might just be our favorite. With Batman’s logo in Riddler’s crosshairs, it’s the perfect representation of their relationship in the movie. You can get it in sizes small to 3X-large as well, or opt for a long-sleeved version instead (opens in new tab).
View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
The Batman Question Mark t-shirt | $21.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – Here’s a second great question mark-themed tee for you. This one is a clever blend of the Riddler’s symbol with a silhouette of the Bat, and we’ve always got time for a smart design like this. It comes in men’s or women’s fit with sizes ranging from small to 3X-large, so there should be one to suit you.
View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
The Batman News Silhouette t-shirt | $23.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – Another cool but subtle design, this silhouette tee features Batman along with Riddler’s serial-killer wall of newspaper clippings that document his obsession with Bruce Wayne – and Batman himself. You can get it in a men’s or women’s fit with sizes from small to 3X-large.
The Batman Mechanical Bat Logo t-shirt | $21.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – Want to keep things simple? This straightforward tee features the Batarang chestpiece from The Batman’s armor with a very small logo above it, so it’s a good option if you want to get your Bat on without going overboard. As before, men’s and women’s fit with sizes from small to 3X-large are available. If you’d prefer, the design can also be found on a men’s-fit hoodie at Amazon (opens in new tab).

The Batman Selina Kyle Cat Silhouette Raglan Baseball shirt | $26.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Men or women’s fit – We couldn’t have a list of tees from The Batman without a design featuring Catwoman, could we? This cool baseball shirt is sleek and elegant, a bit like Selina Kyle herself. A great option if you want something honoring the Cat from The Batman merchandise.

The Batman The Riddler Crossword Puzzle V-2 long-sleeve t-shirt | $30.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Unisex fit – What better way to represent the Riddler’s love of puzzles than with a crossword? This is a fun nod to that, and we’re big fans of the fact it offers a reference without being overtly in your face.
View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
Batman Snapback Hat | $39.96 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
We’re suckers for baseball caps that aren’t just a case of ‘stick a logo on it’, so this option from Concept One fits the bill nicely. Thanks to a faux-leather material and segmented, armor-esque panelling along with a intriguing metal-effect Batsymbol, it’s a striking hat that goes well above the bare minimum when it comes to The Batman merchandise.

Unsurprisingly, there are more than a few figures of The Batman himself. However, we’d argue that the bog-standard version is the best of them (you can even get a Jumbo-sized version (opens in new tab) if you want something a bit more imposing). Besides showing off his full costume in a brawler’s stance that’s befitting of this more violent Dark Knight, we’d argue that it’s a step above the ‘Battle Ready Pose (opens in new tab)‘ equivalent that kinda looks like he’s firing silly string at the criminals of Gotham.

Many doubted that this version of the classic villain would cut the mustard, but you know what? Those naysayers seem to have been proven wrong. As such, grabbing a Riddler to go with your Batman POP isn’t a bad shout – it shows off Paul Dano’s terrifying take on the baddie in his full getup, mask and all, not to mention a roll of duct tape (aw, he’s ready to wrap you a present!). And seeing as this is the only Riddler figure so far, it’s your best option by default.

While there’s a variant on a motorcycle (opens in new tab) that’s suitably awesome, the standard version of Catwoman with a mask wins out for us. It perfectly captures the character with a pose that screams “yes, I stole your jewels, so what?”, and the knitted mask with the cat ears is a cool touch. It’s worth noting that you can also get a version without the mask, too – there’s a one-in-six chance of picking it up, mainly because it’s a chase variant. That makes it must-have The Batman merchandise for collectors.

There are grander Lego sets for The Batman out there, but this budget-friendly option might actually be our pick of the bunch. Besides featuring the Bat and the Cat on their new wheels, it also comes with a glow-in-the-dark Batsignal (!) and accessories for both characters. It’s the perfect snapshot of this movie, in other words, and that makes it some of the best The Batman merchandise out there.

Even though there’s a more detailed version of the Batmobile available via the Lego Technic range (opens in new tab), this version is actually our favorite. As well as being a darn sight cheaper (the Technic equivalent weighs in at $99.99), this version still manages to capture the car’s unmistakable silhouette despite being a fair bit smaller. It also comes with a minifigure of The Batman himself to go with the Penguin, so you have someone to sit at the wheel.

Want the ultimate Batman Lego set? This premium offering is detailed and sprawling enough for the job, offering a brick-based take on this iteration’s more grounded Batcave. Alongside the grand Wayne Terminus staircase and an enormous computer setup for Bruce to brood over, you’re getting almost all of the major players from this movie as well – Batman (including his Drifter persona), Catwoman, The Riddler, Alfred, and Commissioner Gordon are included within the box.
Not quite satisfied with the picks above? Be sure to check out the best Lego sets (or the best Lego deals, for that matter) for more bricky goodness. It’s also worth taking a look at these gifts for gamers if you’re buying with someone else in mind.

]]>The post Heres where to get Star Wars Valentines Funko POPs in 2022 appeared first on Game News.
]]>While previous lines have focused on original trilogy characters like Darth Vader, the new range of Star Wars Valentines Funko POPs is firmly entrenched in The Mandalorian era. That means Grogu (AKA Baby Yoda) is leading the charge while clutching some heart-shaped cookies for $19.99 from Walmart (opens in new tab), followed closely by Ahsoka, Jedi Master Luke, and Mando himself.
Unfortunately for us, these Star Wars Valentines Funko POP figures are struggling beneath the fog of the Dark Side… or delayed shipping. Unless you’re heading direct to Funko’s official website (opens in new tab) (in which case you’re not guaranteed all of them anyway, seeing as the Grogu one is strangely absent), the release dates are vague or the models wind up being drastically overpriced. As an example, that Walmart deal is a good amount more expensive than alternatives such as Pop in a Box where it’s $14.95 (opens in new tab) – but the estimated delivery is a lot sooner.
With that in mind, we’ve listed all of the current Star Wars Valentines Funko POPs at their lowest prices and quickest delivery below. After a bit of research, it seems like Best Buy and Walmart are the top option thanks to an estimated delivery of February 18. This isn’t timely considering the fact that it’s a full four days after Valentines itself, but still – that seems like your best option.
If you decide these aren’t quite right, you can find a broader overview of the Star Wars Valentines range at Amazon (opens in new tab) and more general Star Wars gifts via our guide.
Valentines Grogu Funko POP! | $19.99 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
Aw, he brought you cookies… but it seems like he ate some of them (we can relate). This is probably one of the sweetest Star Wars Valentines Funko POPs on offer, so it’s a near-guaranteed success if you’re hunting down presents for your Star Wars-loving beau. Be aware that the estimated delivery is February 18, though. Plus, it’s rather overpriced – a trade-off for getting it sooner, we suppose.
UK price: £10.99 at Pop in a Box (opens in new tab)

Valentines Luke and Grogu Funko POP! | $11.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
This might be our favorite of the bunch – besides including an amusingly unimpressed Luke in a fetching shade of pink, he’s clutching Baby Yoda as well as a string of paper-chain hearts. It’s lovely. Just bear in mind that the estimated delivery is February 18.
UK price: £10.99 at Pop in a Box (opens in new tab)

Valentines The Mandalorian Funko POP! | $11.99 at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
The next entry in this year’s Star Wars Valentines Funko POPs range is the Mando himself, and it’s really sweet; as well as being bedecked in pink, the Din Djarin figure is holding a Valentine’s Day card to Grogu. It’s a lovely idea that sets this POP apart, even if he does look a bit like he’s waiting to collect someone at the airport.

Valentines Ahsoka Funko POP! | $13.49 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
Ahsoka has been a big hit after making the jump from animation to live-action, so it makes sense that she’s been included in this year’s Star Wars Valentines Funko POPs. She’s holding a box of chocolates here, which is rather thoughtful of her. However, be advised that you won’t get the figure until February 17.

]]>The post Get discounts of almost 50% on Fortnite Nerf guns appeared first on Game News.
]]>As the name would suggest, the Fortnite Nerf gun range chucks two of the world’s biggest brands into a blender and spits out toy versions of the video game’s most iconic weapons. The AR-L Elite might be the coolest of them all; besides looking just like Fortnite’s assault rifle, it’s motorized so fires faster and features a 20-dart magazine.
Naturally, that doesn’t mean it’s the only awesome Fortnite Nerf gun. The SP-L pistol (which has also been reduced to $12.99 instead of $20) (opens in new tab) is a cheaper and more portable alternative to the AR-L, while the GL grenade launcher blaster – discounted by $10 to $48.99 – (opens in new tab) is for when you want to bring out the literal big guns.
You can find more offers, including many of the best Nerf guns, at the Walmart Fortnite Nerf gun page (opens in new tab).
Nerf Fortnite AR-L Elite | $50 $29.88 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
With a motorized system for quicker firing, flip-up sights, and a 20-dart magazine that can be refilled. It’s a very cool Nerf blaster and the perfect gift for yourself or the Fortnite fan in your life.

Nerf Fortnite SMG-E | $30 $17.97 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
This particular blaster – modeled after the submachine gun in Fortnite – is another motorized wonder that will fire faster than others. It’s armed with a six-dart clip.
View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
Nerf Fortnite SP-L | $20 $12.99 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
A more affordable alternative to the blasters listed above, this pistol is cheap and cheerful – but still of a high quality. It includes a detachable barrel and an internal 3-dart clip.
View Deal (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
Nerf Fortnite GL | $60 $48.99 at Walmart (opens in new tab)
A monster of a Nerf blaster and an intimidating sight during games, the GL fires larger Nerf rockets which will be easier to find on the battlefield once you’ve launched them (six are included in this deal). Because these are made out of foam, you don’t have to worry about anyone getting hurt either.
Those are some great Nerf Gun deals. If they’re not quite what you’re after though, be sure to check out these sales below too.

]]>The post Critical Role miniatures are coming out soon including a ridiculously massive Udaak appeared first on Game News.
]]>Minis bring any D&D session to life, but the new Critical Role miniatures (the first batch in an official partnership with WizKids) go one better. Besides being pre-painted and ready to play right off the bat, the range features some properly colossal models to ruin your party’s day. Is that a foot-tall Udaak? Yes. Yes, it is.

The current range includes groups and monsters from across the world of Wildemount (the Critical Role podcast’s setting), and many of the figures are inspired by artwork seen throughout the Explorer’s Guide to Wildemount sourcebook. We’ve listed the full set below, but you can choose from the continent’s three factions (there are separate packs for the Dwendalian Empire, Kryn Dynasty, and Clovis Concord), two monster bundles, or the premium Udaak figure.
I managed to go hands-on with each set, and the monsters in particular are standouts. Intricate and well-painted with a clear love for their inspiring source material. Especially the Udaak – as you’d expect from a premium figure costing $79.99, it’s hugely detailed and has an impressive presence on the table. Which isn’t any wonder, considering the fact that it’s the size of a small cat.
Monsters of Wildemount (1) | $59.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Memorable creatures to battle are the lifeblood of D&D, so these Critical Role miniatures are the crown jewels of the collection. You’re getting an array of unusual monsters here, including the incredibly creepy Core Spawn Seer and Aeorian Nullifier.

Monsters of Wildemount (2) | $59.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
The second monster pack is as good as the first, if not better – it features Critical Role miniatures of the Swavain Basilisk and the Nergaliid, the latter of which is fantastic. They bring a lot of menace to the table.

Udaak | $79.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
OK, now we’re talking. The headline act of the Critical Role miniatures range, the Udaak is an impressive premium figure that’s genuinely massive – I was taken aback by its size. It’s well worth investing in if you want a show-stopping boss fight.

Dwendalian Empire | $49.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
With figures ranging from noble aristocrats to Dragonborn warriors, this set brings you eight Critical Role miniatures that span military and civilian life. Even jolly Firbolg trader Pumat Sol is available within this pack.

Kryn Dynasty & Xhorhas | $49.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Featuring another set of figures for your table, this particular pack of Critical Role miniatures offers a slice of Kryn society via nobles and a Graviturgy Wizard, not to mention the Echo Knight with their transparent doppelganger that helps them out in combat.

Clovis Concord & Menagerie Coast | $49.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
With more Critical Role miniatures inspired by inhabitants of the Menagerie Coast included within the box, this pack is perfect for adventures taking place along the shoreline. You also get minis for the Hollow One and Blood Hunter subclasses, which is pretty cool.
