LEGO has given us the McLaren P1, the Ferrari Daytona SP3, and countless Formula 1 cars that look stunning on display. But there's always been one glaring omission in the brand's racing lineup: the steering wheel itself. Now, a first-time creator named Vince_GT has filled that void with a 1:1 scale sim racing wheel that transforms LEGO's passive racing collection into something you can actually grip, shift, and play with.

I haven't owned it (although I might after writing this story), but I have been the proud owner of a similarly constructed Squishmallow, and the top portion of hair on these designs is both fluffy and soft. Your very own Sasquatch, complete with wee footprints, and at more than half off the normal price. The 20-inch Squishmallows are jumbo and work well as a pillow or backrest, though they might be too large to rest on your bed.

It's fun to dive into LEGO Star Wars or Harry Potter sets but once they're built, many people hesitate to actually play with them. They often feel more like display pieces than toys. That's why every LEGO fan should have a brick box filled with hundreds of colorful pieces: It's the foundation for pure creativity, letting you build, rebuild, and invent completely new ideas without limits.

LEGO just released its new Advent calendars, and they're treating early buyers to a welcome bargain. Year after year: prices are kindest at introduction, then closer to December, demand pushes them on the rise. Currently, the LEGO Minecraft Advent Calendar 2025 is available for as low as $38 rather than its normal price of $44.99, which is its lowest ever on Amazon.

Lego's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse minifigure collection releases September 1. If you haven't preordered a mystery box or two, you may want to secure your minifigures ahead of Monday's launch. As expected, the Spider-Verse Lego minifigure collection has proven to be quite popular. Walmart is the only retailer still taking preorders for the $30 Spider-Verse minifigure 6-packs as of August 28. Amazon briefly reopened preorders earlier today, but those units were claimed in less than 10 minutes. Preorders are also sold out at Target.

The new Hogsmeade Village Collectors' Edition, set 76457, is the kind of LEGO release that gets both die-hard Potterheads and design aficionados buzzing. The set drops in September, perfectly timed for cozy autumn builds and holiday wish lists. For those who keep tabs on LEGO's forays into adult-targeted, high-concept models, Hogsmeade feels like the natural next step after Diagon Alley's blockbuster reception.

The Dune Atreides Royal Ornithopter Lego set is available for $134, restocked after selling out earlier this summer, originally priced at $165.

The new LEGO display set for adults features 811 pieces, including buildable figures of WALL-E, EVE, M-O, Hal, and a Garbage Cube, available for preorder at $70.

Louis Vuitton began his journey in 1854 by crafting train cases, which laid the foundation for an empire. His unique designs revolutionized travel cases with rectangular shapes and airtight compartments, making them popular among royalty.

Recreating the past with your own hands has an allure of its own. While modern technology races forward at breakneck speed, these five retro-style LEGO builds invite us to slow down and appreciate the design classics that shaped our world.

The Addams Family mansion is a 2999-piece architectural flex, dripping with dark elegance, perfectly mirroring its eerie grandeur, appealing to fans and design enthusiasts alike.

The massive 2,953-piece Arkham Asylum set captures the foreboding presence of Gotham's most dangerous criminals, standing over 12 inches tall as an architectural statement.
