The MEGA brand carries several officially licensed Pokemon building block sets at a more attractive price than LEGO. Today, one of its most popular sets has dropped to an even lower price. Amazon currently has the MEGA Pokémon Motion Pikachu Set for just $58.20 after a 44% discount (it's normally $105). This is a great looking build with a neat interactive gimmick to keep kids (and adults) entertained well after the build has been completed.
44% Off MEGA Pokémon Motion Pikachu Set
The MEGA Motion Pikachu set is a reasonably sized set measuring about 9"x9"x5" and consisting of 1,092 pieces. That averages out to 5.3 cents per brick. Compare that to a themed LEGO set, which I consider to be a good deal once they hit the 10 cents per brick threshold. The finished piece is presented as a three dimensional diorama, with the iconic Pikachu running over a small section of meadow.
The fun doesn't end, however, once you've finished the build. Pikachu's legs and tail are articulated and you can turn a hand crank to watch the electric-type mouse frantically run in place like a hamster on a wheel. The meadow elements move in the reverse direction on a mini-treadmill to simulate the motion. These are deceptively simple yet nonetheless enjoyable interactive elements that add to the overall value of the set.
LEGO has its own alternatives, if you've got the budget for them
If you're intent on getting a LEGO version, you're in luck because the brand recently opened up preorders for its own official Pikachu set. It doesn't have any moving elements, but it is a bigger, more challenging build with a higher 2,050 piece brick count. It also comes in at hefty price tag of $200. If you're feeling even more ambitious, check out LEGO's upcoming Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise combo figure, which boasts nearly 7,000 brick pieces and comes with an eye watering price tag of $649.99 (although it's currently sold out).

The nostalgia-packed The Disney Afternoon Collection finally has a Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 release date, and it’s bringing two more games for patient fans.
A Switch version of the bundle of ‘90s Disney video games was announced today after first launching for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One back in 2017. Retro remaster developer Digital Eclipse has the original collection – which includes DuckTales, DuckTales 2, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers, Chip ‘n Dale Rescue Rangers 2, Darkwing Duck, and TaleSpin – set with a digital Switch release date of February 26, 2026, with Goof Troop and Bonkers packed in, too.

Both are Capcom games that made their way to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in the ‘90s, and both will only be available on the Switch and Switch 2 versions of The Disney Afternoon Collection. Goof Troop sees Goofy and his son, Max, go on a swashbuckling co-op adventure to save Pete and PJ, while Bonkers follows Bonkers D. Bobcat as he solves crimes in Toontown.
It’s a bundle fit for the biggest fans of classic gaming from the House of Mouse, with the total game count now reaching eight. The February re-release will finally bring the bundle to Nintendo’s hybrid consoles, with access to soundtracks, a behind-the-scenes gallery, and rewind features, available, too. There are also Time Attack and Boss Rush modes for those looking to shake up that classic gameplay.
A Disney Afternoon Collection physical edition is also confirmed to be in development for those willing to wait until after the February digital release. Disney says the physical Switch release – which comes with the game cartridge, two sticker sheets, eight retro milk caps, and three collectible cards – is now available for pre-order and will ship “at a later date.”
The Disney Afternoon Collection launches digitally next month. For more, you can check out our 7/10 review from 2017.
“With three hits and three duds from Capcom/Disney years that you might remember with varying levels of fondness,” we said at the time, “the Disney Afternoon Collection is clearly aimed at children of the 90s. I have trouble seeing its appeal to anyone else. But if vintage duck-based platformers are your thing, grab a Capri Sun and a handful of Gushers and invite your friends over to play.”

The set, which is getting its own prequel novel and includes a whopping five preconstructed Commander Decks and two Theme Decks, can be found on Amazon right now.
Here’s everything you can preorder right now, including Collector Boosters.
As we mentioned, there is not one, not two, but five Commander decks for this set - the most since Tarkir Dragonstorm last year.
Silverquill Influence (White/Black)
Prismari Artistry (Blue/Red)
Winterbloom Pestilence (Black/Green)
Lorehold Spirit (Red/White)
Quandrix Unlimited (Green/Blue)
Whichever one you grab will include a 100-card deck to play right out of the box, and they cost £43.99 each. They might end up being put in a bundle, too, but there’s nothing live for that just yet.

Magic: The Gathering is collaborating with Marvel again for a cardboard showdown between classic heroes and villains, and now the set is up for preorder at Amazon.
Now, to clarify, these listings have just gone live as yours truly was scouring to see what news there was on them, so they’re about as fresh from the oven as you can get - but there’s still some placeholder text there.
In any case, here’s what you can preorder right now.
There are two new Scene Boxes for £34.99 each, which include three Play Boosters, an art card display setup, and playable versions of the art cards. This time around, we’re getting a heroes one and a villains one.
Finally, Commander players are well catered to. There are four preconstructed decks in this set:
Avengers Assemble (Captain America and Nick Fury - Red/White/Blue)
Wakanda Forever (Black Panther - Green/White)
The Fantastic Four (The titular team - Red/Green/White/Blue)
Doom Prevails (Doctor Doom and Loki - Blue/Black/Red)
Each includes a 100-card deck to play right out of the box for £64.45, but you can also get yourself a Collector's edition with all cards in foil for a whopping £141.45 each.

Elden Ring: Nightreign is getting a tabletop RPG adaptation from Group SNE, the same team behind the tabletop RPG versions of Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and Armored Core 6.
There aren't any further details as to what this campaign will entail, but as a Nightreign lover, I don't find it too hard to imagine. Nightreign already has a wonderfully clear-cut class system, and the potential for different DMs to shuffle abilities, monsters, bosses, hazards, events, points of interest is extremely strong. Like the game itself, such a campaign could be extremely replayable as well.
Group SNE is responsible for a number of tabletop campaigns, board and card games, and light novels, including the aforementioned tabletop games based on FromSoftware properties, as well as the entire Record of Lodoss War campaign setting and Sword World RPG, a tabletop game first published in '89 that has since gone on to become a phenomenon in Japan.
I hope we see the Nightreign campaign make it to the USA, because Nightreign rips, dude. It's probably one of the most addictive 7/10 games I've played in years, and the recent DLC has only managed to get its hooks in me even deeper. Sure, the new map is confounding, but once you've fallen off it 10 or 20 or 30 times, you really do get the hang of it.

With prices of imported goods on the rise, you don't see many 20,000mAh power banks priced under $20 anymore. Fortunately, there's one deal today. Amazon has the Iniu 20,000mAh 22.5W Power Bank for just $15.29 after an automatic 49% coupon is applied. Better yet, you don't need to be an Amazon Prime member to get in on this deal.
The 22.5W power output makes it an ideal power bank for your Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 console, and the bigger 20,000mAh capacity is perfect for longer airplane flights or when you're away from an outlet for an extended time.
Iniu 20,000mAh 22.5W USB Power Bank for $15.29
This Iniu power bank boasts a generous 20,000mAh, or 74Whr battery capacity. If you factor in 80% power efficiency, here are the approximate number of times you can fully recharge each gaming handheld:
Nintendo Switch (16Whr) about 3.7 times
Steam Deck (40Whr) about 1.9 times
Apple iPhone 16 (14Whr) about 4.2 times
Apple iPhone 16 Plus (18Whr) about 3.3 times
The Iniu power bank has three total ports: two USB Type-C and one USB Type-A. The 22.5W of Power Delivery is enough to charge the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 even while you're playing games (both use less than 20W on average in handheld mode). It's also one of the smaller 20,000mAh power banks I've seen, measuring 4.8" long and 2.8" wide (it's pretty chunky though at 1.2" thick) and weighing in at about 11 ounces. The built-in cable is a popular feature on newer power banks because you no longer have to bring along your own USB Type-C cable.
