Lego announced its new (and enormous) 6,020-piece Hogwarts Castle set Wednesday that is sure to delight and overwhelm Harry Potter heads everywhere.
The back of the massive buildable Hogwarts Castle — just over 22-inches tall and 27-inches wide, according to a press release from Lego — gives builders access to the potions classroom, Chamber of Secrets, and the Great Hall, among other nooks and crannies of the castle.
Take a peak inside the enormous new Lego Hogwarts Castle.

Bluntly, I’m jealous of the toys of today, and Lego has managed to stoke that sentiment with its latest. The toy giant’s motorized DC Super Heroes Batmobile is part of the Lego’s Powered Up line, and it’s super cool.
The App-Controlled Lego Batmobile set will be landing on Aug. 1 for $99. And while it is only a 321-piece set, included in the box are the two twin motors and the battery pack.
Unlike Lego’s powered-up train set, you don’t build a controller out of Lego. The Batmobile will use Bluetooth to connect to an iOS or Android device, with a dedicated app (coming out when it launches). The app doesn’t just provide basic controls — you can also “code” in moves for the vehicle. Read more…

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s actually time to get your eyes checked because that is the Force Flyers DIY Building Block Fly ‘n Drive Drone.
You can never be too old to take a drone to the sky — it inspires a sense of awe no balloon ever could. The feeling of building something from scratch is a great joy, especially when you can zoom 50-75 meters off the ground with a 2.4 GHz transmitter that allows for long-range flight control. The Force Flyers’ six-axis gyro, three hundred and sixty degrees stunt flips and auto-stabilization allow for any flyer of any skill level and age to handle this drone with ease. Read more…
