A full trailer, release date, and what sounds like preorders are coming tomorrow, tweets series creator J. Michael Straczynski. Here’s everything else we know about Babylon 5: The Road Home.
This was one of my “sets that got away,” so I’m overjoyed it’s coming back — particularly now it’s composed of several modular islands with their own secret underground passages instead of a single rigid baseplate. (You can “unfold” it kind of like the Lion Knights’ Castle.)
It’s coming July 7th for $215, and I can’t wait to pair it with Lego’s Black Seas Barracuda remake when I find the cash.
A jury found that Intel owed over $2 billion to a zombie chip company, but an appeal board disagrees: it’s invalidated both of the VLSI patents in question, Reuters and Law360 are reporting.
VLSI rose from the dead specifically to sue companies — the original company helped Apple and Acorn produce the first ARM processors, but the new brand is an LLC under Fortress Investment Group.
Microsoft gaming boss Phil Spencer, on Giant Bomb:
I think Matt [Booty] says we have every QA person in our entire company playing Starfield right now.
Xbox studios head Matt Booty:
I see bug counts and just by the numbers if it shipped today, Starfield would already have the fewest bugs of any Bethesda game ever shipped.
I’m taking this with a grain of salt, particularly because Video Game Apology Notes are in vogue. But maybe? Microsoft’s reputation can’t afford another Redfall, and Spencer knows it.

The second round of voting in Lego’s 2023 BrickLink Designer Program has just begun, meaning another chance for you to help Lego pick five fan-designed sets to produce. Fingers crossed for the Sub Sandwich Shop to shine this time! I would also happily own a Galactic Medical Transport or this mobile-home-on-a-big-rig, though.
