New 'Stranger Things' LEGO BrickHeadz are here — right in time for the final season
This 542-piece set builds four BrickHeadz, which is pretty rare considering most BrickHeadz come in single, dual, or five-character packs. But it's fitting for the quartet we first met gathered in a basement at the end of a 10-hour Dungeons & Dragons session when 'Stranger Things' premiered in 2016.
Mike Wheeler, Dustin Henderson, Lucas Sinclair and Will Byers are recreated in the signature BrickHeadz blocky style, with just enough detail to be instantly recognizable. Lucas is clearly rocking his camo bandana, while Dustin's Waupaca tee is on full display.
The boys of Hawkins get the BrickHeadz treatment ahead of 'Stranger Things' season 5. The set is available for pre-order now and will release on October 1, 2025.
There are now 6 total 'Stranger Things' BrickHeadz — the four in this latest collection plus the Demogorgon & Eleven BrickHeadz (40549) set that has since been officially retired. You can buy it on Amazon, but beware, it's heavily marked up for resale.
Otherwise, the new collection of Hawkins icons is available for pre-order on LEGO.com now and will launch on October 1, just weeks away from the first part of the 'Stranger Things' final season releasing on Netflix on November 26, 2025.
Three more episodes will release on December 25th, 2025, while the series finale drops on December 31st, 2025.
While we wait (impatiently) for Season 5 to drop, this is a fun way to revisit the series that took the world by storm. I know I'll be putting together this little display-ready tribute to the crew that started it all.

Amazon Deals of the Day: I Found a Discount on Taylor Swift's Album-Reveal Headphones
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across multiple categories, including home essentials, tech gadgets and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. But deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, so we did all the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch. Today, we spotted the headphones that Taylor Swift just wore in the announcement for her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, at a nice discount. We also found the Anker Soundcore portable speaker for over 30% off. And finally, the Magic Bullet is only $5 more than its record-low price. Unless you're living under a rock, you know that Taylor Swift just announced her 12th studio album "The Life of a Showgirl" on football star Travis Kelce's podcast. But what you might've overlooked are the headphones she was wearing as she revealed the blurred-out cover art album. These are the Sony MDR7506 headphones and they've actually been around since the 90s. But they prove to be a great pair of vintage headphones. It uses neodymium magnets and 40-millimeter drivers to produce excellent sound. I mean, why else would Taylor Swift be rocking them? These wired headphones have an almost 10-foot cord, so you can still move around without having to unplug. Swifties, it's your chance to grab Swift's headphones at a discount. Normally listed for $110, you can score $10 off the headphones, bringing them down to $100. It's not the best deal ever, but it lets you twin with Taylor for just $100. A reliable speaker can make a huge difference to your life, especially one that you can take on the go. The Anker Soundcore 2 is exactly that, it even previously took home the CNET Editors' Choice award. We love it because it delivers higher than average sound quality, especially for the price. It is also water-resistant and has strong battery life, perfect to bring along on any adventure. There's also a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls. Plus, it can go up to reasonably high volumes before it starts to distort, something we don't usually see for speakers in this price range. This affordable speaker retails for $45. But thanks to a limited-time 35% discount, you'll pay just $29. That's a price you can't beat, plus it's only $1 more than the lowest price of the year. Having a blender to make smoothies, sauces and more is essential. But an easier way is by using the Magic Bullet Blender. This 11-piece set is compact and made for fast and easy food prep. It is made with a high-torque power base and stainless steel blades, meaning it can handle all sorts of ingredients. The blender also comes with cups, lids and to-go accessories to help make it easy to serve and store what you made. It's lightweight and easy to clean, no hassle required. This blender set is normally 50 bucks. But thanks to a 30% discount, you can pick one up for $35, only $5 more than the all-time low price. With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET combs through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer each day and gathers the best deals for you to check out.

Travis Kelce's 'New Heights' Beats Joe Rogan in Top Podcast Chart
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Travis Kelce's New Heights podcast is the No. 1 show on Apple Podcasts' chart, surpassing Joe Rogan's show. Newsweek reached out to Kelce and Rogan's representatives via email for comment on Wednesday. Why It Matters The Kansas City Chiefs star, 35, co-hosts New Heights alongside his brother, Jason Kelce. Last year, the siblings reportedly signed a $100 million deal with Wondery, a podcast streamer owned by Amazon. Rogan, 58, is one of the most popular global podcast hosts. His show, The Joe Rogan Experience, often tops Spotify's podcast charts. (L) Travis Kelce speaks onstage during Amazon Upfronts in New York City on May 12, 2025. (R) Joe Rogan does standup comedy in Pasadena, California, on July 1, 2017. (L) Travis Kelce speaks onstage during Amazon Upfronts in New York City on May 12, 2025. (R) Joe Rogan does standup comedy in Pasadena, California, on July 1, Amazon; Michael Schwartz/WireImage What To Know On Tuesday, Kelce's girlfriend, pop star Taylor Swift, announced her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, in a teaser video for her upcoming New Heights appearance. "So I wanted to show you something," she said, before pulling the blurred album out of a mint green and orange briefcase. "This is my brand new album The Life of a Showgirl." "TS 12!" Travis Kelce said, referring to the billionaire's 12th studio album, while Jason Kelce screamed. As of August 13, New Heights is No. 1 on Apple Podcasts' Top Shows Chart in the United States, followed by The New York Times' The Daily, Crime Junkie and Dateline NBC. The Joe Rogan Experience currently comes in at No. 5. However, on Spotify's Top Podcasts Chart in the U.S. for August 13, The Joe Rogan Experience is No. 1, and New Heights is not on the list at all. What People Are Saying Travis and Jason Kelce's dad, Ed Kelce, said on Australia's Today: "I knew nothing about this announcement, I knew at some point the boys wanted to get her on the podcast, I didn't know when it was coming up, though. I know Taylor's been working pretty hard since she stopped the tour, she's taken a few breaks to watch some football games, but she's been out in L.A. working on this album. And my guess is, although I haven't heard anything, my guess is it's going to be like everything else she does—it's going to be beautiful." English singer Jade responded to a fan on TikTok who said she should open the "life of a showgirl tour.": "Would love." Swift fan @fearlesskait, in a post on X with 2 million views and 36,000 likes: "The colour scheme is copper oxidizing because a showgirl is on a pedestal for the world and over time, in the public eye they lose their shine... the weathering from being the target for the world's misogyny. #TheLifeOfAShowgirl" What Happens Next Swift's New Heights episode airs Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET on platforms including the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube. New episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience are released weekly on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

I track the Prime Video top 10 every day — here's the 3 movies to watch right now (and 1 to skip)
The Prime Video top 10 is a great starting point when you're looking for something new to watch on the Amazon-owned streaming service. It gives you a snapshot view of the flicks currently being watched (and hopefully enjoyed) by millions of fellow subscribers. However, just because a movie manages to claim a spot in the Prime Video top 10 doesn't guarantee its quality. As somebody who tracks the Prime Video charts every single day, I've seen plenty of subpar movies score a spot on the list. So, to save you the pain of wasting your precious movie-watching time on a dud, I'm picking out the current gems down below. I've also identified the one movie that I really believe you should skip at all costs in the current Prime Video top 10 (apologies in advance to Arnold Schwarzenegger). So, let's dive in. Here's the current best and worst of the Prime Video top 10 movies (as of Wednesday, August 13). The latest chapter in the 'Planet of the Apes' series leaps ahead into the far future following the prequel trilogy and sees Earth now fully inhabited by intelligent primates. The last remaining humans are scattered to the wind, and the battle for the planet has been lost. But that doesn't mean this sci-fi action movie lacks humanity or heart, quite the opposite. It's a surprisingly human tale that follows a young ape named Noa on a journey of redemption and a quest to find a new home. Pitched as the start of a new trilogy, 'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' sees Noa (Owen Teague) set out on a dangerous mission to rescue what remains of his tribe after they are taken prisoner by a vicious chimpanzee known as Proximus Caesar (Kevin Durand). Along the way, he also befriends a young human girl (Freya Allan), who is looking for the key to humanity's survival. This blockbuster boasts eye-popping effects and a thoughtful story. Stream "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" on Prime Video now It certainly speaks to the suspect quality of the current Prime Video top 10 as a whole that I'm including 'Uncharted' in my trio of recommendations. To be up front, I have a lot of problems with this action-adventure flick. As a huge fan of the Uncharted video games, it's a poor adaptation of the series, with some disastrous casting decisions (Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan is borderline insulting), but viewers not so precious about the source material and just seeking a global trotting romp in the vein of Indiana Jones may enjoy this one. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Tom Holland plays Nathan Drake, a young treasure hunter, recruited by Victor 'Sully' Sullivan to find the lost fortune of Ferdinand Magellan, a 15th-century explorer. Drake is also motivated by a desire to find out what happened to his missing brother Sam (Rudy Pankow). Along the way, Drake and Sully must square off against Santiago Moncada (Antonio Banderas), a ruthless rival treasure hunter who is obsessed with finding Magellan's treasure as he believes it's his birthright. Watch "Uncharted" on Prime Video now 'Wicked' is easily my most rewatched movie of 2024, because the musical extravaganza is such a joy from start to finish. And the grand finale with Cynthia Erivo belting out 'Defying Gravity' gives me chills every single time. Considering how long a 'Wicked' movie was in development, it's pretty shocking that the final result is so remarkable. Perhaps that's down to the note-perfect casting with Erivo playing Elphaba and Ariana Grande playing Glinda. With 'Wicked: For Good,' which will adapt the second half of the enduringly popular Broadway musical, flying into theaters this November, now is a great time to watch 'Wicked,' or, like me, rewatch it for the dozenth time. If you're totally out of the loop on this one, 'Wicked' is a prequel to 'The Wizard of Oz,' which tells the previously untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West, and her friendship with Glinda the Good at Shiz University. Watch "Wicked" on Prime Video now Arnold Schwarzenegger headlining an action-thriller should always be a recipe for entertainment, but sadly, this David Ayer-directed movie completely forgets to have fun with its larger-than-life star. Favoring grit over all, 'Sabotage' is horribly po-faced, and while some viewers will enjoy the level of violence, it's the lack of fun-factor that sinks this one for me. It's a shame as there's even a pretty strong cast around Arnie, including Sam Worthington, Olivia Williams, Terrence Howard and Joe Manganiello. 'Sabotage' sees Schwarzengger play the leader of an elite DEA task force. His squad completes a raid on a safe house operated by one of the world's most dangerous drug cartels, and they opt to steal $10 million to keep for themselves. It seems like the perfect crime, but there's a turncoat in their midst as the members involved in the theft start being killed one by one. Conceptually, it's a neat idea, but the final result is very skippable. Watch "Sabotage" on Prime Video now (if you must)
