Warner Bros. has announced its Minecraft-like open-world game, LEGO Worlds, is coming to consoles in February 2017. The digital brick-building game, which has been available via Steam Early Access since last year, will also feature online multiplayer to allow players to explore each other's worlds. The game promises "fun to fantastical" environments where "worlds come to life with a dizzying variety of vehicles and creatures — from cowboys riding giraffes to vampires scaring Yetis, to steamrollers, racing cars and colossal digging machines." Players can simply build their own creations and bring them to life, brick by brick. "In LEGO Worlds, players will go on an exciting journey to become a Master Builder, in an open-world made completely of LEGO-built environments,” said Jonathan Smith, head of production at TT Games. “Whether customizing characters, exploring in vehicles, building structures, or discovering an expansive range of items, characters and creatures throughout the worlds, there’s the freedom to create anything imaginable.”
“LEGO Worlds brings the very essence of LEGO play — building — to the digital world, more than ever before,” added Niels Jørgensen, VP for digital games for LEGO. “We are excited to bring our physical and digital play models closer together and know it will resonate with our core audience — and engage new ones. "We believe LEGO Worlds has the potential to inspire and develop the builders of tomorrow through its experience of open-ended creative play.” A Lego Agents DLC pack, featuring "new characters, vehicles, weapons and more from the Agents range of play materials" will be initially exclusive to PlayStation for the first 90 days. LEGO Worlds will release on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on February 24, 2017 in the UK (precise release dates for other territories have yet to be confirmed, but are expected to be in February 2017). You can check out LEGO Worlds via Steam Early Access today. Vikki Blake is a very jumpy survival horror survivalist. You can find her twittering over at @_vixx and twitching at twitch.tv/vixxiie.

A LEGO Iron Man toy satisfies both of your child's loves. LEGO toys are a classic choice that suit a wide span of ages. You can purchase a set that includes the build-able Iron Man, or you may buy only Iron Man if you want to add another LEGO mini-figure to your child's collection. LEGO Iron Man sets include popular structures, allies, vehicles, and villains connected to the Iron Man franchise. The vast inventory on eBay lets you find a set suited to your child's interests and building abilities. A smaller set is ideal for the beginning builder, while more elaborate options keep even experienced builders entertained. With a custom Lego Iron Man, you are able to pick the Iron Man suit that your child prefers. Some of the available suit colors are black, silver, and red. When searching for a present for your child, you do not have to pick between two things. A LEGO Iron Man toy enables you to encourage your child's enthusiasm for multiple interests.

If you pre-order the LEGO Jurassic World video game from GameStop from now until the game is released on June 12, they’ll also throw in a bonus for buying the game which is the Gallimimus Trap (30320) polybag. It consists of 29 pieces and the main draw of the set is the “Gallimimus” dinosaur mold. Clearly this particular dinosaur isn’t a Gallimimus but a re-colored Coelophysis from the 2012 LEGO Dino sets. Although Gallimimus is an omnivore, it was toothless and mainly feasted on plants, insects, and smaller animals. This version of the dinosaur has some very sharp teeth shown with a green and brown skin color. Whatever you decide to call it, it is exclusive to this polybag as it does not appear in any other LEGO Jurassic World sets. On the trap itself, it holds a piece of meat on the back and when the Gallimimus goes in to eat it, the chains come down to trap it. What’s nice about the set is the white Jurassic World printed 2×2 tile which I believe is exclusive to this set.
Correct me if I’m wrong on that note as I have not purchased any LEGO Jurassic World sets yet. Other than that, the trap isn’t that spectacular but that’s how polybag usually are. Overall, the Gallimimus Trap (30320) polybag is a neat one considering that if you’re planning on getting the LEGO Jurassic World video game from GameStop, it’s already included with your order. The dinosaur itself is exclusive to this There are reports that the polybag is also being sold at Toys R Us Canada so if you’re up north, you can probably score one for fairly cheap. The major thing that I don’t like about the set is the Gallimimus itself. The dinosaur is no doubt a rehashed Coelophysis but for LEGO to call it a completely different dinosaur is just laziness, I think. If the polybag would’ve been called Coelophysis Trap, I wouldn’t have an issue with it.
