LEGO Bumblebee Threatens My Wallet
I am an adult LEGO builder. I wouldn’t call myself a collector. I just like buying and building these things, then finding somewhere in my meager apartment to store them and let them collect dust. And now there’s another set on my horizon: Bumblebee the Transformer! LEGO has made a second Transformers set!
I think these are nifty keen! The amount of thought and engineering that goes into making a LEGO model that transformers into a second LEGO model is just plan cool! I bought the Optimus Prime set when it first came out and only finally got around to building it a couple of weeks ago. It looks great! So I’m definitely gonna get Bumblebee to add to that collection.
I told myself I wasn’t going to spend money on LEGO this year. I’m saving my sights for the X-Mansion whenever that shows up. But this Bumblebee looks awesome! It’s gonna cost only about $90 when it releases on July 4.

Paddington in Peru to Complete Epic Trilogy
The Paddington movies are a delight…though I haven’t seen the first one. That’s on me. Paddington 2 is as good as everybody says, so I’m excited for Paddington 3! It’s Paddington in Peru!
Looks delightful! I don’t know if the same people who made the previous films are back, but let’s hope so. We need more movie goodness and goodiness in our lives. Especially on a Friday. Should be a fun weekend. I may go see Inside Out 2.
Paddington in Peru comes to theaters on Nov. 8.

6 X-Men Who Could Be Avengers
Despite being two of the flagship teams at Marvel, there has been very little membership crossover between the X-Men and the Avengers. In fact, it’s being hailed as a big deal that Storm will join the Avengers later this year as part of the new X-Men revival. Should be fun!
Only a couple of X-Men have joined the Avengers over the decades. Beast is the most famous, and then Wolverine joined when they reworked the Avengers out of the most popular characters in the 2000s. Cannonball and Sunspot joined Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers because he loves those characters. And the Uncanny Avengers have been a thing a couple of times. But this list is all about the main Avengers roster, the premiere superhero team in the Marvel Universe. The roster tends to always be in flux these days, and I think it could use some new mutant blood.
So join me after the jump for six X-Men characters who, I think, could make it as Avengers. Or at least they’d be an interesting addition to the team. And feel free to share your own ideas in the comments below!

Who Knows if Star Wars Outlaws is Going to Be Any Good Or Not?
Star Wars Outlaws is probably the biggest game I’m looking forward to this year. It’s just not a big year for my gaming interests. But who knows if Star Wars Outlaws is going to be any good or not. It’s a new type of game for Star Wars, but it’s made by Ubisoft, who know how to make this kind of game. I don’t hate Ubisoft the way some people online do, so I have high hopes.
Anyway, Ubisoft held a game reveal day yesterday and here are some videos with Outlaws gameplay and details.
I watch those trailers and I still don’t know what to expect from this game. It doesn’t seem to have the freedom of movement of an Assassin’s Creed game. But we’ve got some reputation building aspects. There are spaceships and a speeder. Hopefully a good story. I like the main character.
I guess I just don’t know. As interested as I am in playing this game, I will likely still wait for reviews to see what other people think before I dive in. I’m trying to spend as little money as possible on video games this year. Plus, it’s a Ubisoft game that comes out on Aug. 30. By Thanksgiving it will be 50% off.
What does everybody else think of this game?
