Prime Day Keeps LEGO Star Wars Alive With Phantom Menace BrickHeadz 6-Pack for Peanuts
Today is Prime Day, which despite it's name actually last four days. From the time of writing until the end of the day July 11, you can save a ton on all sorts of products across every category on Amazon—including Lego! Check out this Lego BrickHeadz set. It comes with six fan-favorite Star Wars characters from Episode 1 The Phantom Menace. Normally, this set goes for $55, but for a limited time, you can scoop it up for 31% off. That brings the price down to just $38, saving you $17. Lego absolutely rules. There's so much joy to be found in the process of the build. It's soothing to just tune out for an hour or more, listen to a podcast or throw on an old-favorite show or movie in the background, while you just put things together brick by brick. It's a mindful activity that can be an therapeutic excuse to not be doom scrolling on my phone. You can let your stresses go and just focus on the pieces in front of you. And when you're done, you've got some sick toy or display to put on your shelf. See at Amazon BrickHeadz are basically Lego's take on Funko Pops—cool character's from various media franchises reimagined as little guys with big heads and beady eyes. I think they're more fun though because you get to build them yourself. This Star Wars Phantom Menace set includes six of these fellers. In the box, you get 732 pieces that together make up six characters featured in the first movie of the prequel trilogy. They include Jar Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Captain Panaka, Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul. They even come with authentic accessory elements like lightsabers or a blaster. Anakin is seen in hit pod-racing outfit and measures in adorably shorter than the rest of the gang. My favorite detail is Darth Maul breaks away from the templated back eyes with white dots most character have by default. He has his iconic and menacing red and yellow eyes that still fit into the BrickHeadz playful design. He's also got ten horns coming off his head. This Lego Star Wars Phantom Menace was made to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Lego Star Wars. For Prime Day, you can save a bit of cash on these six display figures. Typically priced at $55, Prime members can get the set for just $38—a 31% discount. That's save you a whole $17 through July 11. See at Amazon

Fortnite OG Season 4 start date for the next throwback season
The Fortnite OG Season 4 release date is fast approaching, with the new season set to bring a host of classic content, as well as a tease that the game could be set to change history in the classic mode The upcoming Fortnite OG season is set to bring a significant change to the beloved island, if the latest teaser is anything to go by. Since Fortnite OG launched as a standalone mode, it's managed to find its footing pretty fast. The introduction of an exclusive pass for players, and throwback to classic seasons along with their cosmetics has been a game-changer, particularly as it allows players to revisit iconic POIs and annihilate enemies with weapons that have been inactive in Fortnite for years. This is a refreshing contrast to the current mainline season, which includes a new Mandalorian Fortnite skin and Jar Jar Binks NPC in a Star Wars crossover that got its own dedicated mini season. The upcoming Fortnite OG Season 4 is on its way, so you might want to wrap up that OG Pass quickly before the introduction of a new season reflecting the game's fourth ever season, aptly named Brace for Impact. This is well-timed, as the superhero-themed classic season aligns with Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, which is also speculated to feature spandex-wearing heroes. But when exactly can we anticipate the launch of Fortnite OG Season 4, and what will it include? Here's everything you need to know about the Fortnite OG Season 4 release date and the forthcoming content drop. Fortnite OG Season 4 release date The release date for Fortnite OG Season 4 is scheduled for Saturday, June 7 at 4pm PDT / 7pm EDT, and Sunday, June 8 at 12am BST. This date has been verified by the Battle Pass screen for the OG Season 3 Pass, coinciding with the Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3 release date which was recently brought forward a day, as disclosed by @ShiinaBR. The time is an estimate based on the current OG pass's end time, with the anticipated five-hour season-spanning downtime added on top. This time is not yet confirmed, but it's a fairly solid estimate. The timing of the new season couldn't be more perfect, as it coincides with an original superhero-themed Chapter 4 and the upcoming Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3, which is also set to feature a mix of original and licensed superheroes. What can we expect from Fortnite OG Season 4? Currently, there's just a single teaser hinting at the arrival of Fortnite OG Season 4. But before diving into that, let's look back at the content introduced in the iconic Chapter 1 Season 4. Fortnite Chapter 1 Season 4 saw the introduction of characters The Visitor and Carbide, the deployment of the Burst Assault Rifle and Drum Gun, and the memorable meteor strike on Dusty Depot, scattering debris across the map and altering numerous points of interest. Epic Games has started to drop hints about Fortnite OG Season 4, tweeting an image of a glitched television screen with the mysterious caption "anyone got eyes on Tilted," suggesting a historic twist where the meteor hits Tilted Towers instead of Dusty Depot. It's a daring move, especially since OG aims to serve up a hearty slice of nostalgia, however, it undeniably adds a unique flair to the mode. The release date for Fortnite OG Season 4 is fast approaching, and if the hints from Fortnite are to be believed, this could be a daring move for the mode, taking inspiration from the classic season and flipping it upside down. You may want to loot Tilted Towers before it disappears once more. Make sure you don't miss out on our latest high-quality videos on YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook, where we'll be posting our latest reviews, previews, interviews, and live streams!

How to complete Jar Jar Binks quests in Fortnite Chapter 6 Season 3
Image via Epic Games Fortnite's collaboration with Star Wars continues to expand, and this time it brings the galaxy's most eccentric Gungan into the mix. Jar Jar Binks has landed on the island, and helping him out in Chapter 6 Season 3 could earn you a generous XP boost. The Jar Jar Binks quests are part of the Galactic Battle event in Fortnite and offer both fun and rewards. Here's how you can complete the full set of tasks tied to this quirky character. Where to find Jar Jar Binks in Fortnite? To get started, you'll need to find Jar Jar Binks on the island. He's located near a small riverside house, just between Foxy Floodgate and the Burd to Go gas station. Once you approach him, select the 'Help Troopers' dialogue option to begin the Found Quest, which consists of four tasks in total. Fortnite Complete Story Quests - How to EASILY Complete Jar Jar Binks Found Story Quests Each stage you complete will reward you with 30,000 XP, amounting to a total of 120,000 XP. Step-by-step guide to completing Jar Jar's Found quest 1. Collect a fish: Near Jar Jar's house, you'll find a barrel containing Fishing Rods. Pick one up and head down to the nearby river. Cast your line, wait for it to bob, then reel it in. You only need one fish, but make sure to collect it from the water. 2. Throw the fish inside a republic outpost: Keep the fish in your inventory and travel to any Republic Outpost. These are mainly found in the southeast section of the map near Masked Meadows and Kappa Kappa Factory. Once inside an Outpost, throw the fish onto the ground to complete this task. 3. Use sprays inside a republic outpost: Don't leave just yet. While still inside the Outpost, open your Emote wheel and select a Spray. Apply it on any surface nearby. You can use any Spray you've unlocked, though a Clone Trooper Spray is a thematic fit. 4. Report back to Jar Jar Binks: With all tasks completed, return to Jar Jar at his original location and interact with him again. This final step will wrap up the quest and deliver your last dose of XP. For casual players and Star Wars fans alike, this short but quirky questline offers a great blend of humor, nostalgia, and useful rewards. Whether you're grinding XP or just helping a clumsy Gungan cheer up Clone Troopers, this quest is a win-win.

Fortnite May 16 server downtime and maintenance schedule revealed
Image via: Epic Games On Thursday, May 15, without fresh content unveiled, the disappointment was all around as Epic Games announced a delay in the much-awaited v35.10 update . Once slated for deployment today, it will now arrive early on Friday, May 16, probably around 2 AM ET, after a brief period of scheduled downtime. The update is quite important for the Galactic Battle mini-season , the special Star Wars-themed event that took the place of Chapter 6 Season 3's launch, and the delay means that players will have to wait an extra day to run amok with the new features and perhaps confirm the long-rumored additions to the game. Mixed reactions so far Galactic Battle launched with a massive bang on May 3, thrusting new Star Wars weapons, thematic quests, and famous characters into the Fortnite universe. Interest, however, has started to wane. As opposed to longer seasons where content gets trickled out slowly over time, a lot of players feel as though they have essentially seen the majority of what this mini-season has to put on. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Esta nueva alarma con cámara es casi regalada en America (ver precio) Verisure Más información Undo This limited-time event is set to run for just 36 days, finishing up on June 7. This is not the first short season; previous examples included Season OG and Chapter 2 Remix, but players seem to feel that the pacing is not engaging as it was before. Even though there was a huge initial interest, a two-week content drought had the community begging for something new. What to expect from the update This delay does not stop the tongues from flapping about possible new additions thought to come along with the update by data miners and leakers alike: Jar Jar Binks Skins: Two alleged cosmetics based on the much-divided character from the Star Wars prequels. Anakin Skywalker Boss Fight: Whispers of Anakin appearing as an in-game boss. Custom Mandalorian Skin: A highly customizable cosmetic option, similar to previous 'Build-A-Hero' skins. Most notably, players are holding out for the General Grievous skin, a reward within the Galactic Battle Pass. Unlike standard unlocks, Grievous can only be acquired through mid-season quests — expected to be activated with this update. With only three weeks remaining in Galactic Battle, the next few updates will determine whether this Star Wars-themed season ends with a bang or a whimper. The update scheduled for Friday will hopefully give the much- needed injection of life to the event to re- engage the player base and keep some of the long-hyped leaks on their feet. In the meantime, fans are needed to remain patient and brace for early-morning downtime. This one will be a popular date: May 16.
