Lego's Game Boy set is here, sadly not playable
Once built, you can set the Lego Game Boy and paks on a buildable display stand "for the ultimate piece of retro-inspired home or office gaming decor," Lego says. Other details you can admire include a contrast adjustment and volume dial, along with the Game Pak slot.
The Game Boy set is not Lego's first crack at a Nintendo-based product. Back in 2020, the company released a set based on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The new Lego Game Boy set is now available for pre-order on Amazon for $59 with shipping starting October 1, 2025.

Lego's annual summer wave is here with 107 new sets. These are the 5 kits I'm building
The largest wave of new Lego sets in 2025 has just landed for August. While summer may be winding down over the next few weeks, Lego is just getting started with the season by launching its annual summer collection complete with a fresh batch of Star Wars starfighters, life-like botanical builds, motorized trains and so much more. But as someone who owns hundreds of Lego sets herself, there are only so many of the product launches I can consider buying or recommending. And with 107 new kits to keep in mind for August 1, I'm diving in to break down what's new, what I've already purchased and what I think is worth building. To start off August, I got up and ran to the Lego store to pick up some of these new sets that just landed on store shelves. It should be no surprise to see the latest from Lego Star Wars make the cut, but I also am ready to build new flower kits and the latest Transformers model. Lego Star Wars Jango Fett's Starship It's not an exaggeration when I say that I've been waiting over a decade for this set to come out. Lego hasn't released this starfighter from "Attack of the Clones" since back when Episode II first hit theaters over 20 years ago. The wait was worth it, as this was the first set I started assembling today. Love the details and the three included minifigures that are new for 2025. Lego Botanicals Hibiscus There's a new flower landing in the Lego Botanicals collection today with the first-ever Hibiscus model. I instantly fell in love with the unique pieces and interesting building techniques that allow this kit to stack up to a gorgeous display piece. It stands over 14 inches tall and includes 660 bricks. Lego Arcade Machine Lego has been stealing headlines lately for its gaming-inspired builds, like the new Game Boy set it just announced. This month, there's a new arcade machine kit that's even more appealing in my eyes. It features 468 pieces that assemble into a an arcade cabinet build that splits open to reveal a detailed gamer's room inside. Lego Botanicals Mini Bonsai Trees The last time Lego released a buildable bonsai tree, I ran out to buy the set the day it came out. Lego must know these Botanicals kits are my weakness, because there's a new kit on sale for August that includes a trio of mini bonsais. There's a ginkgo bonsai tree with yellow leaves, a black pine bonsai tree with green needles and a wisteria bonsai tree with hanging lilac flowers — all of which include their own miniature planter. Lego Icons Transformers: Soundwave Lego has been partnering with Hasbro to release these brick-built Transformers for years, and I am still shocked by just how amazing they are. Past ones like Optimius Prime and Bumblebee have been able to actually morph between car and robot modes, and this new Soundwave kit improves the process with an all-new audio brick that brings the Decepticon and his cassette player mode to life. Alongside all the new kits that I've actually picked up today, there are quite a few others I'll be looking into getting later in the year. After all, Lego gifts are always on my mind going into the winter holidays. Below, I'm shining the spotlight on some new collaborations with TV shows like 'One Piece,' kits straight out of video games like Fortnite and even highly detailed historic castle models. Lego Batman Forever Batmobile After seeing "Superman" earlier this summer, I am sold on future DC projects. But before I get too ahead of myself, this Lego set is here to take a look back at the Batman Forever movie from the late 1990s. It assembles a retro version of the Batmobile complete with a unique version of Bruce Wayne based on his appearance in the film. Lego One Piece The Going Merry Pirate Ship I can't believe that Lego is finally making anime-inspired sets. But the August wave of summer sets are here and so is a whole lineup of kits from the live action "One Piece." The Straw Hats' iconic pirate ship, The Going Merry, is easily my favorite from the collection. The five entirely new minifigures, nearly 1,400 included bricks and overall size of the model make this one of 2025's best kits and a solid value for fans of the Netflix show and original anime alike. Lego City Explorers' Arctic Polar Express Train Most Lego fans can agree that the company doesn't release enough trains. So when new kits like this incredible Arctic Polar Express Train do hit store shelves, it's worth highlighting. The $210 price tag may seem high for a kit with only 1,517 pieces, but it does include the motorized locomotive, plenty of track pieces for a customizable layout and six minifigures. Lego Speed Champions Lamborghini Revuelto and Huracán STO Speed Champions is back with another garage of brick-built supercars this month, which come headlined by this pair of Lamborghinis. I can't decide if I like the orange Revuelto or the blue Huracán STO better, but either one includes immaculate details that car enthusiast and Lego fans will both appreciate. Lego Creator 3-in-1 Medieval Horse Knight Castle Whether you remember building the original knights sets as a kid or you're just a fan of all things medieval, Lego Castle fans can rejoice this month. This nearly 1,400-piece castle includes can be assembled into three different models including the titular fortress, a jousting arena and a medieval town. Regardless of which build you assemble, there are six minifigures and two horses in the kit. Lego Fortnite Mecha Team Leader I am such a sucker for Lego Mecha. I've gone on record before saying that if the company makes a buildable robot, I am likely going to end up buying it. Since I just picked up the Soundwave figure above, this one is going to have to wait. This Fortnite set has still caught my eye, and assembles one of the tallest mechs the company has ever dared to make at nearly 18 inches tall, and backs it with posable limbs and a colorful design inspired by Voltron. Lego Neuschwanstein Castle For older Lego builders, the company's Architecture theme makes some of its most enticing kits. This new Neuschwanstein Castle set certainly fits the bill, with over 3,400 bricks that assemble into a detailed recreation of the iconic Bavarian castle. Lego Technic Volvo EC500 Hybrid Excavator One of the most expensive Lego sets in all of 2025, this Volvo excavator backs up its steep price tag with over 2,300 pieces to assemble this detailed and technically impressive construction tool. Motorized features also help make the price seem better, as they can recreate the real vehicle's operating arm features. There's also opening cabin doors, moving tracks and a rotating excavator body. Lego Star Wars Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT The summer wave of Lego sets includes several Star Wars builds, like this MTT vehicle. I wish I had room in my collection to buy this one right away, but it's definitely one of the kits I'll be eyeing for later on in the year. I adore the Battle Droid rack that deploys from the front and the slick blue and grey color scheme. The $160 is on the higher end, but the moment this goes on sale for the first time, I know I won't be able to stop myself from picking it up. Lego Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock Subway Train Scene It's been ages since Lego has made any kits based around the original "Spider-Man" movies starring Tobey Maguire. This one recreates one of the trilogy's most iconic moments, as Peter Parker tries to stop a subway train from crashing off the tracks. Being a comic book fan in New York City makes this set even cooler for me and is one I'll have to add to my Lego city sooner than later. Lego may release new sets periodically throughout the year, but the January New Year's launches and August waves some the most exciting. Known as its summer collection, this month has the largest lineup of new kits in all of 2025 so far. Unfortunately for Lego fans like myself, there are more kits worth your cash than ever, so narrowing down the 107 new releases to just 15 recommendations is tough. But when you have a Lego collection as large as mine, you have to pick and choose which kits are worth not just your money but also the physical space to display. Here at CNN Underscored, we make it our job to stay up to date on all the latest products, but we don't just find them; we also rigorously test products from hundreds of brands to make sure every gift you give is a hit. In the case of this shopping guide for the new 2025 Lego sets, you're getting recommendations from a lifelong Lego fan. Senior deals editor Rikka Altland has been building Lego since before she could form full sentences. She has also been writing about Lego professionally for nearly a decade and has been collecting kits for almost twice as long. Altland is constantly buying new kits, so when she says she loves a kit and thinks it's worth buying, she's putting her money where her mouth is.

Jennifer Lopez Wears $60 TKEES Flip-Flops: Shop Them Here
Wake up, everyone—Jennifer Lopez just dropped some new vacation pics! On August 1, took to Instagram to share some snapshots from her trip to Egypt, and let me tell ya, she looks ️🔥. More importantly: In multiple pics, she's rocking a pair of minimalist leather TKEES flip-flops that are (a) chic, (b) still in stock, and (c) actually affordable. A miracle! Here she is wearing 'em with a swimsuit and cover-up: And again with a cute lil sundress. Talk about versatility!! This isn't the first time has stepped out in these sweet metallic sandals, either. Just a few weeks ago, she was spotted wearing the same pair of TKEES while out and about in right around the same time, Jennifer Aniston sported a pair of brown TKEES with baggy jeans while walking around L.A. Need more evidence that TKEES are the It-girl sandal of choice? Kylie Jenner was also seen wearing a pair of black TKEES Lily Liners in Italy in early July (which, btw, are available on Amazon!). What I love about TKEES: the soft Brazilian leather, the minimalist silhouette, and—best of all—the cushioned insole for extra comfort with each step. TKEES are available to shop on the brand's website, as well as from Amazon, Saks Fifth Avenue, Revolve, Zappos, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom, and more. There you'll find flip-flops in tons of styles (including the celeb-approved Lily sandal), including shades ranging from nudes and pigments to glitters and glosses. However! If you're looking to get exact Lily Metallics in Blink, then you'll likely have to buy them direct from TKEES, as they're sold out almost everywhere else! Flip-flop szn isn't over yet, so go score a pair of these cuties while you still can.
