    The new Kindle Scribe without Front Light finally releases on June 10th.

    The new black-and-white Kindle Scribe without a glowing display has been MIA since it was announced last September. But according to an updated listing on Amazon’s store, it will finally be available starting on June 10th at 10AM ET for $429.99, giving the recently-announced Remarkable Paper Pure some more competition.

    Watch this artist reveal all the hidden details of the Mandalorian’s starfighter.

    I can still be easily sucked into a book of cross section artwork, so it’s fascinating to see the process of how the complex illustrations are made. Artist John R. Mullaney condensed the long process of creating a cross section of The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter into a timelapse that’s four minutes well spent.

    The 8,278-piece Minas Tirith is Lego’s largest Lord of the Rings set.

    Available starting on June 1st for Lego Insiders or June 4th for everyone else, Lego’s $650 Minas Tirith is larger and more expensive than its $500 Rivendell and $460 Barad-dûr LOTR sets. Up front it’s a micro-scale recreation of the fortified city but on the back you’ll find scenes scaled up for the set’s 10 included minifigures.

    Narwal’s new mopping robovac launches next week for under $600.

    The Narwal Freo Z10 Turbo uses a laser mapping system instead of a camera to navigate your home, but it includes a base station that empties dirt and sterilizes the mopping pads, and a mode that deep cleans carpets with boosted suction and multiple passes. It will be available on May 18th for $899.99 and discounted to $599.99 until the end of the month.

    <em>The base station empties the robot’s dust bin and compresses the dirt so there’s minimal maintenance for up to 120 days.</em>
