Lego's latest buildable arcade machine is packed full of fun hidden details

At 468-pieces it's no where near as elaborate as Lego's buildable Pac-Man machine, but this 6-inch tall Arcade Machine set will only set you back $39.99 when it launches on August 1st, 2025. At this scale Lego wasn't able to make this arcade machine playable like Pac-Man is, but it still managed to include some fun details. On the outside the machine features a generic Space game with tiny controls, matching cabinet artwork, a marquee, and a coin slot that actually accepts coins. Opening the arcade machine reveals a miniature gaming room inside with a minifigure, several tiny consoles, a TV, and lots of decor highlighting other Lego sets, including the Galaxy Explorer sitting on a shelf. You'll also find an even smaller arcade machine inside featuring an online puzzle game called Junkbot that was originally available to play on Lego's website back in 2001.

‘Star Wars' actor Kenneth Colley dies at 87

Kenneth Colley, a British actor known for playing Admiral Piett in the original 'Star Wars' trilogy, has died at age 87. Colley died at his home in England on Monday, according to a statement shared by his agent, Julian Owens. Before his death, Colley been admitted to a hospital for an arm injury he suffered in a fall, but he quickly contracted COVID-19 that eventually developed into pneumonia. Throughout his 64-year career, Colley worked continuously in film, television and on the stage, playing a wide variety of characters from Jesus in 'Monty Python's Life of Brian' to the Duke of Vienna in Shakespeare's 'Measure for Measure' for the BBC. In 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi' he played Admiral Piett, an imperial officer in command of Darth Vader's flagship Executor. He reprised the role in 2012's animated 'Lego Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out.' His role in the popular franchise earned him a legion of sci-fi fans across generations. Colley also appeared in films such as Clint Eastwood's 'Firefox' and British TV shows like 'Coronation Street,' 'EastEnders' and 'Return to Treasure Island.' More recently, he appeared in two episodes of 'Peaky Blinders.' Owens remembered Colley as always remaining humble despite being one of the 'finest character actors with a career spanning 60 years.' 'Ken loved attending conventions and meeting the fans,' Owens said. 'He traveled all over the world yet could never quite grasp why everyone wanted his autograph.' Colley was proceeded in death by his wife, Mary, to whom he'd been married for more than 60 years.

We Found a Bunch of Really Good Last-Minute Deals on Grilling Gear

I'm no grilling expert — I'll leave that task to Henry Cavill, the meat-whispering himbo of the summer — but I do know a great grilling gear deal when I see one. And as your steadfast Eater shopping team continues to hunt down the best early Amazon Prime Day deals and holler 'CORNER' every time we see a powerful Traeger grill (or even a little electric indoor iteration) on sale, I sure have noticed the happy confluence of pre-Prime Day discounts with peak-July Fourth outdoor cooking deals. This year, Amazon's gargantuan Prime Day event will take place just after America's birthday — from July 8–11 — and there's an entire Eater guide to navigating the best early deals that are actually worth your time (no weenie under-15-percent-off-deals here, partner) so that you can be in-and-out of Bezos' dizzying behemoth in no time. You're simply too cool to spend time indoors this July, and you simply have too many garlic-shrimp skewers to season to worry about which grill basket you're going to put them in — we found it here, and it's 50 percent off. Here's a handful of the best early Amazon Prime Day grilling and outdoor entertaining deals, whether you're shopping for the perfect projector for a small patio space, a gift for an illustrious griller, or a giant cooler for keeping drinks ice-cold. Talk about a perfect small-space or first timer grill: This under-50-inch-wide grill comes with two porcelain-enameled cast-iron grates, and an additional porcelain-enameled cast-iron griddle for even more cooking. A painter needs their palette. A grill demon deserves a stainless steel cart that can hold all of their meats, vegetables, tools, and ambitions on wheels. 'I wanted to make the outdoor screening of Tampopo , but I just live too far away from the park' is not a fate I wish upon anyone this summer. Instead, make ramen at home and screen the cult film with this chic little projector while it's 50 percent off. There's an entire Eater guide to the best coolers, but this Coleman beast deserves its own shoutout at 26 percent off. Plus, it claims to keep drinks icy-cool for five days, which feels like an impressive design feature as well as a… challenge? Into it. This just might be the pick I'm the most excited about in this round-up, because I cannot stress the number of times I have shed a tear over the perfect mushroom being lost to the cracks of a fiery grill. In fact, think of it more as a magic wand for making sure your precious grill cargo never slips away or receives uneven grilling (just roll it around!) again. Want a fire pit? Want a grill (or two)? We love an all-in-one setup that doesn't make you pick. Every summer, like clockwork, I realize that I'm minus a key pair of barbecue tongs or flippers (having left them at a friend's house the year before). Instead of commandeering my indoor kitchen tools from yet another friend-of-a-friend's yard or beach picnic, I will be investing in a dedicated grill set that includes a grill spatula, fork, tongs, a knife, a basting and cleaning brush, corn holders, and a set of steak knives. Happy grilling, and check out more early Prime Day deals here. See More: Buy This Thing Eater at Home Prime Day Shopping and Pantry Guides
