Lego sets are still extremely popular with today’s generation, as we’ve seen from the demand from Amazon shoppers for Lego Prime Day deals in July and the early offers for the upcoming Prime Big Deals Days in October. With Christmas fast approaching, here’s something that will help children (and the children at heart!) with their countdown for the holiday season: the Lego City Advent Calendar 2024, which is on sale for $26 following a $7 discount on its sticker price of $33. This is a limited-time offer though, so if you want to get it for cheaper than usual, you should buy it right now.

Why you should buy the Lego City Advent Calendar 2024

The Lego City Advent Calendar 2024 isn’t your regular collection of bricks — it’s a countdown to Christmas that begins on December 1 and ends on December 24, with a total of 24 surprises that include minifigures for Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus, other minifigures wearing Christmas sweaters, and minibuilds of various gifts and items related to the holiday season. Each minibuild comes with an easy-to-follow guide that’s printed inside its calendar window, which makes the Lego City Advent Calendar 2024 an excellent gift for children as young as five years old — or as old as anybody who wants to enjoy playing with this Lego set.

A foldout playmat comes with the Lego City Advent Calendar 2024, creating a winter village scene that will become more festive as you open more calendar windows. The minifigures and minibuilds may also be combined with other Lego City sets for even more fun adventures that are only limited by your imagination.

While Lego deals can spark creativity and immortalize scenes from pop culture, buying the Lego City Advent Calendar 2024 will help make the countdown to Christmas even more exciting. Originally $33, it’s available for just $26 from Amazon for savings of $7. We highly recommend making the purchase immediately for two reasons — there’s no telling how much time is remaining before the discount ends, and you want to make sure that you get the Lego City Advent Calendar 2024 before December.

I played Halo: Campaign Evolved, and its cinematics show what a Halo series could’ve been

Halo’s remake looks ready for Hollywood. So where is the show it deserves?

Adult, Male, Man

There is a moment early in Halo: Campaign Evolved where I stopped thinking about the remake as a game for a second. I was watching one of its newly rebuilt cutscenes. Master Chief, Captain Keyes, Cortana, the Pillar of Autumn, and the enormous scale of everything around them suddenly appeared a lot more cinematic than ever before.

I played the original Halo: Combat Evolved in the early 2000s, and in my head, this was exactly how it looked and felt. The first Halo title introduced intergalactic war to me long before Star Wars, and the cinematic tastefully adds enough minor touches that enhance Bungie's original work from decades ago.

Xbox is fixing one of the PC app’s biggest annoyances with download speed

A new Smart Download Client promises faster, more consistent download speeds for games and updates.

Waiting for a massive Game Pass download to finish could soon become a little less painful. Microsoft has begun testing a new Smart Download Client as part of the latest Xbox Insider Alpha Skip-Ahead update. The feature is designed to speed up game installs and updates by automatically connecting users to the fastest available content server. While it's currently limited to Xbox Insider testers, early reports suggest the improvements are also making their way to the Xbox PC app, potentially solving one of the platform's longest-standing frustrations.

A metallic Hall effect keyboard and a 59g mouse are Lenovo’s latest upgrades for snazzy gaming setups

The Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Y7MG mouse bring 8K polling to both sides of your gaming setup

Computer, Computer Hardware, Computer Keyboard

Magnetic gaming keyboards and lightweight mice are hardly unusual anymore, but Lenovo is trying to push both ideas a little further with its latest Legion peripherals. The new lineup includes the Legion R7 RT75 keyboard and Legion Y7MG mouse, and both support an 8,000Hz polling rate for players who want every input delivered to their PC as quickly as possible.

Of course, Lenovo has styled these peripherals to be as bold and eye-catching as possible without getting in the way of practicality. The keyboard has a hefty metallic design with translucent keycaps and RGB lighting. Compared to that, the mouse is more tame and traditional in design, but it also has an RGB strip that appears to belong on an alien spaceship. (via NotebookCheck)
