Based on the upcoming 'Rebuild the Galaxy' series that sees Star Wars history mixed up in what-if scenarios, the new Lego Millennium Falcon is an evil spin on Han Solo's ride that comes in Sith black and red. Speaking of which, it also features numerous dark side wielders… including the meme-worthy Darth Jar Jar, Darth Rey, and a bounty hunter version of C-3PO. Available to pre-order for $179.99 / £159.99 at Lego ahead of an August 1 release, the Lego Dark Falcon seems to be a makeover for the existing (and soon to be retired) Rise of Skywalker kit.

A TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up is also available to pre-order, weighing in at $109.99 / £94.99 at Lego. This one does exactly what it says on the tin; it allows you to swap the bodies and wings of both starfighters.

Here's a more detailed breakdown of each set.

Lego The Dark Falcon

Based on the ship as it appears in Rebuild the Galaxy, the Dark Falcon repaints the ship with a black and red colorway that's much more menacing. (The cockpit is doused in scarlet from the red glass panels, for example.) It's also more kitted out than the 'real' version, which often features on lists of the best Lego sets; alongside the usual cannons, its radar dish fires a Death Star-esque laser beam.

Like the Rise of Skywalker kit before it, this playset comes with multiple minifigures. There are six, to be precise; Darth Jar Jar from the infamous online theory, Darth Rey as she appeared in Episode 9's trippy vision, Darth Dev (who I can only assume is the brother of the show's hero thanks to their shared surname, Greebling), a bounty-hunting C-3PO, Jedi Vader in his white suit, and Beach Luke complete with a box of blue milk. It's utterly bizarre and wonderful as a result.

This has around 200 more pieces than its predecessor – but it's roughly the same size. Some of those bonus bricks presumably go toward the interior featuring "Darth Jar Jar’s throne, the command center, hyperdrive, entertainment area, and jail cell" as per the official listing on the Lego store.

I'm quite keen on this design, and it's a really fun mix-up from the norm. Is it a novelty? Yeah, probably. I'm not sure I'd want something we may see once and never again in pride of place on my shelf, either. But I suspect this will go down very well with the target audience – kids. It's perfect for imaginative play because the concept alone raises so many questions, and I'd love to see more of these mashups going forward. It would be cool if it combined a couple of ships as per the X-Wing/TIE combo below, but as Batman fans already know, everything's cooler in black. Or very, very dark gray.

Lego TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up

As the name would suggest, this Rebuild the Galaxy kit allows you to make a normal TIE Fighter and X-Wing… or smush them together into an unholy mix. 

Let's be honest – everyone's going to do the latter.

While these newcomers aren't as detailed (or big, in the case of the TIE) as the old X-Wing Starfighter and Imperial TIE Fighter Lego Star Wars sets, they're actually your only way to get those ships in Lego form now that the latter two have been retired. That'll make it an attractive proposition for collectors and kids alike. 

Even though this set skews a tiny bit younger than the Dark Falcon and is smaller on the whole, it still fetches a hefty price. However, it does something we've not seen from Lego Star Wars before, and that counts for a lot. 

While the X-Wing seems the same as – or an improvement on – the old one, I'd argue that the TIE is a step backward. It's smaller and blockier, and the cockpit opts for a printed front rather than the more premium, see-through plastic panels we got before. 

Still, we'll probably get another classic TIE (and mid-sized X-Wing) kit before long. Accordingly, anyone who just wants the ships for their shelf may want to hang on rather than grab this one.

Announced alongside news that the blasters will be hitting stores later in June, the 'N-Series' is made up of half a dozen different models. All of them use the 'N1' dart, the first major reinvention in a decade, that Nerf representatives said went through more than 1,000 designs to "find the sweet spot between precision, distance, and safety." 

This latter point – of making sure the blasters are as safe as possible – was cited as the reason for customers only being able to use these official darts in N-Series models. Unfortunately, previous and third-party alternatives won't work; the N-Series is specifically designed to be compatible with the N1 alone. That means you'll need to pay if you want to use the best Nerf guns going forward.

Here's a breakdown of the different N-Series blasters heading our way in the not-so-distant future. You can actually pre-order them as we speak; they've already appeared on Amazon. Well, most of them - the biggest, the Infinite, hasn't yet.

Nerf's testing suggests that the N1 dart fires much more accurately than predecessors like the Elite 2.0. Nerf actually showed off a target graphic combining the results of tests using both darts during a press briefing, and the N1 seems far likelier to stay on target. It was also tested using computational models to track airflow - a first for Nerf.

This is where the 'extreme' distance, speed, and accuracy tagline came from - and Nerf seems to be going all in on the idea. While it's not been officially stated, I get the impression that the N-Series will be replacing the older Elite line from here on in. Many classic Elite blasters have a counterpart using the N1 dart.

I've been hands-on with two of these new blasters (the Pinpoint and the Infinite) and have been impressed with them so far. While it's a shame that the N1 dart essentially locks you into the Nerf ecosystem, they are noticeably more accurate than anything we've gotten in the past. I was able to aim down the sights and actually hit what I was trying to without much fuss. The actual firing of the blasters is incredibly satisfying too, particularly the bolt-action Pinpoint, and I'll follow up soon with more in-depth thoughts on the N-Series.

It's unclear when exactly these blasters will be launching, but seeing as they're due to arrive in June, keep your eyes peeled.

Designed as part of the midi-ship range, this version of everyone's favorite piece of junk is smaller and more affordable than other versions without compromising on quality. In fact, I'd argue that it'll become the go-to Lego Millennium Falcon for most people – and the one I'll always recommend first. 

Is it perfect? Not quite, but almost. Plus, you simply won't care once it's finished and on your shelf. There are no two ways about it; the Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) kit is gorgeous, and one of the best Lego Star Wars sets around.

Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) features

• More affordable Falcon
• Smaller than other versions, but still a good size
• Not a playset – this one's for display

Mid and high-end versions of the Falcon exist already, so what does this one do that's different? To begin with, it's smaller – a lot smaller. As part of the midi-ship range, it's only 9.5 inches (24cm) long and just over 900 pieces. That means you don't need a small studio apartment to show it off like you would the Lego UCS Millennium Falcon. 

Secondly, it's less expensive than either of the existing models. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's 'cheap,' but it is a good bit more affordable than the Rise of Skywalker or Ultimate Collector Series kits. In fact, you're saving between $85 / £75 and $765 / £660 respectively. You can't do much better.

It's worth noting that this is a display piece, too. Unlike the Rise of Skywalker kit, the Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) can't be 'played with' by the young padawans amongst you; it's rooted to the stand.

Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) build

• Will only take a couple hours
• A satisfying and (mostly) easy build
• Can be fiddly

By and large, putting this thing together won't take you very long. I was able to build the Lego Millennium Falcon in roughly two to three hours, and I definitely could have sped things up. Split between 11 bags of bits, it's a laid-back build for the most part that can be completed over the course of an evening – or a session watching your favorite Star Wars movies. 

It can be fiddly in places, though. The exhaust is a great example. That iconic blue of the engine uses a ridged tube attached to the ship's body by clips stuffed into both ends, but getting those clips where they were supposed to be was a headache (and a more literal pain for my fingers, actually). 

It often took me a moment to figure out where pieces should go as well, because the instructions only display the thinnest white line around the relevant pieces to help you differentiate between them. That means you've got to play spot the difference between diagrams.

However, these are niggles in what is otherwise a very pleasant experience. There's a lot of snapping panels together to form the Falcon's curves, for example, and the weighty 'click' of clipping chassis parts into place is oddly satisfying. 

Oh, and by the way? There are no stickers in sight. This kit uses printed-on designs whenever necessary.

Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) design

• Striking display piece
• Goldilocks zone of 'just big enough'
• No detail feels lost despite size

I'm often wary of smaller kits because detail can get lost in translation. (I love the Lego Tantive IV midi-ship, but it's a good example if you ask me.) This Lego Millennium Falcon, though? It isn't suffering from that in the slightest. Despite working with a more modest number of pieces, it captures the look, battered feel, and proportions of Han Solo's ship with impressive accuracy. Cleverly placed greebles (random bits that don't serve any purpose other than to look industrial/cool) do a lot of the heavy lifting, and add to the hodge-podge demeanor of the ship. It's the same approach that made Lego Boarding the Tantive IV so effective.

The insides show an attention to detail only the best Lego sets lay claim to as well. Namely, you'll find recreations of scenes from the movies inside that use studs to represent the characters, be it R2-D2 and Chewbacca's dejarik game from A New Hope or Han and Leia's iconic kiss in Empire Strikes Back. It's a small touch and completely unnecessary because it's all covered up in short order, but that's kind of the point – it shows so much love for the source material. I remember thinking something similar about the excellent Lego Rivendell set and its Eye of Sauron that disappeared beneath Elrond's council.

The one compromise I wasn't keen on can be found near the cockpit. While the painted-on cockpit itself is fine, there's a small gap between the neck pieces and the ship body that bothers me more than it should. I imagine this was a compromise based on the shape of the neck itself, and it's not a big deal on the whole, but still. It felt as if I'd missed a bit, or put something on wrong. 

It doesn't detract from the final look once everything is said and done, though. This is an impressive piece that, for my money, is only matched by the Star Destroyer in the midi line. I'd say it'll be the gold standard going forward.

Having it on a stand for added stability helps it feel more secure no matter where it lives, too. It's a classy look, and one that reinforces that this is a display piece – not a toy.

Should you buy the Lego Millennium Falcon (75375)?

There have been many Lego Millennium Falcon sets before this one, but it does the legacy justice. I have a suspicion that it'll become the go-to version most people buy thanks to its more reasonable price and modest size. There are few signs of compromise in its design, either.

Is it flawless? No. I'm a little disappointed it didn't come with at least one minifigure, either. But on the whole, this is a fantastic kit that, yes – has it where it counts.

Buy it if...

Don't buy it if...

How we tested the Lego Millennium Falcon (75375)

I spent a handful of evenings putting together the Lego Millennium Falcon (75375) set, divided into half-an-hour slots or so. I took far too many notes during this process, and paid particular attention to how the kit compared to its predecessors. There may have been some Han Solo quotes thrown in there for good measure.

Available to pre-order for $89.99 / £79.99 at Lego, the Lego Minecraft Crafting Table is something of a 2-in-1 affair. The outside forms a 6-inch model of the iconic crafting table but like an ore block, you have to crack it open to get to the diamonds inside. Once you pop off the sides, the table reveals a diorama of a Minecraft world that is positively jam-packed with details that’ll delight any long-time fan. 

Despite its relatively diminutive size, the set manages to represent 12 different biomes ranging from the basic Plains to spooky Deep Dark (although I’ll admit I’m a tad salty they don’t have Mushroom Fields). Across its 1,195 pieces, it has also 5 distinct mini-builds which will apparently house a number of “hidden Easter Eggs” for builders to reveal while they assemble it.

Additionally, the Lego Minecraft Crafting Table houses eight dinky microfigures including player characters like Steve and Alex as well as mobs like a skeleton, a witch, a pig, a cow, a villager, and a Creeper. Sure, you’ll be able to shake up your display by dotting these guys around your scene but you can also customize your build with stickers. Some of these stickers play it straight with the Minecraft logo or a Create New World button but others feature silly inside jokes like “Now in 3D!”.

If you’re eager to get crafting your very own Crafting Table, you’re going to have to hold out until August 1. However, now is a really good time to get your pre-order in. Side note: while this set isn’t a Lego store exclusive, if you opt to pick it up from Lego directly you can nab yourself 640 Lego Insider Points.

Lego Great Deku Tree is a 2-in-1 kit that can be used to make either the woodland spirit from Ocarina of Time or Breath of the Wild. Both versions are surprisingly distinct, too; even though a lot of pieces must be reused, the two builds are unique enough to look like separate Lego Legend of Zelda sets. They're stuffed with more than a little fan-service, too.

I've dug into the details below, but here's the headline: the Lego Great Deku Tree is due to launch this September 1. Unlike many newly-announced kits, you can also pre-order the set already for $299.99 at the Lego store (or £259.99 at Lego if you're based in the UK). 

Lego Great Deku Tree 2-in-1

This kit has been rumored for quite some time, and it's creating just as many waves as we thought it might. Lego's been clever here with that 2-in-one approach; it's appealing to fans both new and old without having to compromise for either.

Honestly, the thing that impresses me the most about this 2,500-piece set is how different it ends up looking depending on which version you choose. For starters, it's amazing how much the Great Deku Tree itself transforms thanks to a handful of cleverly-placed bricks and some more colorful leaves. Even though the overall shape remains the same, those extra touches transform the glum N64 iteration into the more vibrant Switch equivalent.

In addition, the environment itself feels as if it's come from another box entirely. You've got the murky, swamp-like Kokiri Forest on one hand (complete with Deku Baba plants and Link's childhood home) and the brighter, ruin-strewn woodland from Breath of the Wild on the other. 

I'm taken aback by the number of alternate minifigures as well. Besides Tears of the Kingdom Zelda, you're able to build kid/adult Link from Ocarina of Time alongside the blue-topped version from Breath of the Wild. I initially suspected that these would use the same heads and employ different bodies/legs, but as it turns out, they're entirely separate minifigs. It's an unnecessary touch that's cool because it wasn't needed.

The same goes for all of the many Easter eggs scattered throughout. Alongside more obvious nods like Hestu and his maracas, you can find the likes of a time-telling Sheikah Stone, a golden Skulltula, tiny Koroks, and a cooking station for Link to use if you look closely enough. 

I suspect there will be a lot of demand for this one when it launches this September 1, so it may be wise to get your pre-order in now.

For recommendations on what to build next, check out the best Lego sets or our guide to the best Lego Star Wars sets.

First up? There are a handful of Star Wars Lego kits on sale (ranging from TIE Bombers to helmets), but the most impressive one would be the Emperor's Throne Room Diorama if you ask me. This for-grown-ups display piece based on Return of the Jedi isn't far off its lowest-ever price, and you can grab it for $79.99 at Amazon (was $99.99) right now. Similarly, the mid-range Millennium Falcon kit is 20% cheaper via Amazon at the moment.

Harry Potter has seen some pretty decent offers too, including a particularly strong discount on the Room of Requirement, bringing it down to an all-time low of $39.99 at Amazon (was $49.99). However, my favorite might be a record low price on Lego Dobby that drops the house elf to $27.99 at Amazon (was $34.99). This build is so full of personality it's practically weighed down, and that's in spite of a smaller stature. Because it's only made up of 403 pieces, it's not too much of a commitment for fans of the wizarding world who are short on time.

You can get a lot of the recent space kits at Best Buy, too – it seems like the retailer is doing a clearance sale for plenty of these. You'll find all my top picks from this weekend's Memorial Day Lego deals just below.

Some of the great deals you can get your hands on include 45% off the Nerf Elite 2.0 Flipshots Flip-16 Blaster and 65% off the Nerf Rival Kronos XVIII-500 Blaster. Meanwhile, older kids and grown-ups can enjoy awesome blasters from Nerf’s Gelfire range including the Nerf Pro Gelfire Ghost Bolt Action Blaster (was $49.99, now $27.99) and the Nerf Pro Gelfire Dual Wield Pack, down from $29.99 to $12.49.

Also, if you’re excited for the next season of Fortnite but recognise that you should probably also go outside and touch grass too, you’ll be interested to know that you can get 24% off the Fortnite Pump SG Water Blaster and 39% off the Fortnite RL Water Blaster. Backyard battle royale, anyone?

Should you buy Nerf blasters?

You know when a specific brand name basically becomes synonymous with the product they make? Using a search engine? You’re Googling it. Need a tissue? Grab a Kleenex. If you want to run around like a giddy child and shoot foam projectiles at your friends? You need a Nerf blaster.

While it being “Nerf or nothin’” is a bit of an over exaggeration, Nerf does have a winning combination of good build quality, value, and range. Not to mention, Nerf being a childhood favorite of kids since the 1990s means that you can trust you’re picking up a blaster that is fun and – perhaps more importantly – safe.

The shabby ship that “made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs” has seen plenty of bricky translations over the years and they consistently wind up in the lists of the best Lego Star Wars sets ever.

This 2019 Rise of Skywalker tie-in iteration (73257) is impressively screen-accurate and fits heaps of detail into its 1,351 pieces so it’s definitely up there with the best of them (especially now that the cool 2015 version has been retired). While it’s far from being the most expensive of the Lego Millennium Falcons, at $169.99, it’s still a fairly premium feeling set that definitely feels like treating yourself. 

Thankfully, you can get this set for $135.99 right now at Amazon thus landing yourself a nice little discount of $34. The only time we had ever seen this set drop below this price was last year, and even then it was only $9 off what we’re seeing now. The Lego Millennium Falcon being on sale, added to all the freetime you’ll likely have over the long weekend, means it’s definitely worth adding to your basket while you can.

Should you buy the Lego Millennium Falcon?

While far more modest in price and scale when compared to the $700 behemoth that is the UCS Millenium Falcon, this set offers a majorly satisfying ~4 hour build process that results in an awesome end result. Oh, and you can expect plenty of movie-accurate details to sooth your inner Star Wars nerd. 

Alongside the fabulous ship itself, the Lego Millennium Falcon set also comes with a selection of Minifigures from The Rise of Skywalker: Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, Finn, C-3PO, R2-D2, D-O, and Boolio. Both suitable for display and play, the ship has room for any of the included figures to be placed inside of it and posed in the cockpit, kitchen, sleeping quarters, or main lounge area (where they can enjoy a little game of holochess). 

If building this iconic little hunk of junk with a Star Wars movie marathon playing in the background sounds like your idea of paradise, you’re welcome. I think we just figured out your perfect plans for this coming Memorial Day weekend.

Lego Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour: Features

• Cosy island aesthetic
• Includes Kapp'n & Marshal
• Can be put together in a number of ways

As with all of the other Lego Animal Crossing sets, Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour recreates a small slice of what it's like to play the actual Animal Crossing games. For this set's purposes, that includes Kapp'n and his boat as well as several beachfront tiles with coconut trees and more. There's a fishing pole, bamboo, a shovel, and more. There are even little blue spillover pieces with white bits placed on top that mimic what it looks like when the tide comes in and there's a bit of white foam created.

Lego Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour: Build

• Will take up to an hour
• Not complex, despite being so customizable
• Can be combined with other Animal Crossing sets

While technically one of the middling sets in terms of size and price, Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour makes for a quick build. It took me just over an hour, with me taking my time, and none of the individual aspects of it were particularly fiddly. The most complex the build gets is some of the hidden odds and ends, but even those are quick to put together. It's by no means difficult to build; it just takes a little time to do it right.

Lego Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour: Design

• Can be built in many unique ways
• Adorable minifigures, as usual
• Could have included more secrets

The minifigs themselves – Kapp'n and Marshal – remain rather adorable as with all of the rest of the Lego Animal Crossing line. The large, bulbous heads and shortened legs really work here to recreate something akin to the proportions of Animal Crossing characters, and I've yet to meet a Lego Animal Crossing minifig that doesn't make me smile the first time. Kapp'n even comes with his own little sunglasses that can sit on top of his head, which seem like a must while he's out on his boat.

The customization options are a solid touch to the entire line, and it's nice to see the larger sets keep up with the idea that there are almost individual little islands within the build that can be mixed and matched with others. There's a real sense that any two sets, made by different people, could end up in seriously different permutations. This is reinforced in the Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour set by the somewhat large sprawl of its various bases, which really beg to be reconfigured in order to save space or otherwise connect to other sets.

The calling card of the Animal Crossing sets, beyond the ability to mix and match, seems to be the smaller touches here and there that take inspiration from the game. While there are certainly aspects of that in this set like the way the palm trees with coconuts are created so that there's a little frond on top that can sway, there's really only one minor little secret in the form of a coin under a rock. This is really a minor complaint, however, and is largely driven by the fact that I quite like the overall density of other sets like Bunnie's Outdoor Activities more.

That doesn't mean there isn't plenty to love here. The little umbrella and lounge chairs, complete with a small Lego sandwich between them, are a nice touch. Kapp'n's boat itself is absolutely blasted with personality from the coffee cup to the lantern to the way he sits next to the motor. There are even weeds on the ground in places, much like the video game itself. And a hermit crab!

Should you buy Lego Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour?

Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour is by no means the best possible set in the LEGO Animal Crossing line, but neither does it aim to be. It's the middle step up from the smaller sets into the more extravagant ones; this is most obvious in the fact that it's the cheapest set to include two different minifigs in it. 

For a set that sits firmly in the middle of the pack of a larger line, and one that's really a bit of a transitional one, it serves its purpose well. But I'd still likely recommend the bigger or smaller sets before I'd suggest this one.

How we tested Lego Kapp'n's Island Boat Tour

This kit was built over the course of a single session and took roughly an hour to complete. As well as highlighting any sections that were particularly difficult to construct, we also took note of any particularly enjoyable aspects. After the kit was finished, we considered the overall design and how it compares to other sets within the range.

You can find out more about our process in our 'how we test' guide.

"The original submission by Lucas was really amazing," says Lego designer Jordan David Scott. "What really stood out was that Lucas really thought about the story aspect of his design, not just how it looked. He created a journey through the build and we tried to reflect that in the building process."

Naturally, turning this idea into an actual thing you can put on a shelf is… well, a little more complicated. A lot went into making this kit (and the original adventure accompanying it), so I caught up with Lego and D&D creative director Chris Perkins to find out how Lego Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon's Tale went from a daydream to one of the best Lego sets.

Adventurers wanted

Back in late 2022, Lego put out a call asking for fan-created designs based on Dungeons & Dragons. The winner would be turned into a proper, will-actually-go-on-sale set – and Bolt's submission, Dragon's Keep: Journey's End, ran away with the prize. 

Although the original concept is very similar to what's now on store shelves, you'll find a few differences if you look closely (the green dragon has been swapped out and lots of new monsters were added, for example). Why? The Lego team wanted to make sure it encapsulated everything fans love about Dungeons & Dragons. Scott notes that he and many of his colleagues are big D&D fans who play on the regular, so were keen to push the boat out as much as possible when it came to fan service.

"Lucas' design was a great starting point, and we worked with him to elevate it," Scott tells me. "We wanted to showcase the most iconic creatures [in the set], which is why the Beholder, Owlbear, Displacer Beast, Gelatinous Cube, Mimics, Skeletons and Myconids were also included. We also wanted a strong lineup of adventurers and drew inspiration from the first boxed set of Dungeons & Dragons, where there were only three main classes; the Cleric, the Fighting Man and the Magic-User, and then later the Thief was added. This is why we ended with the Cleric, Fighter, Wizard, and Rogue." 

D&D publisher Wizards of the Coast had some notes as well – mainly surrounding that dragon.

"The dragon was the biggest change, and that was down to Wizards of the Coast input," Scott says. "Green dragons are super cool – they breathe poison after all – but the red dragon is THE most iconic of all the dragons, and so we chose to change it. We talked with Lucas about it and he had actually made a digital version where the dragon was red so he was very open to the change! The tavern also featured a red roof, so we decided to shift that color too, to balance it against the red dragon. Dungeons & Dragons is a very colorful world depending on the setting you are in, so we felt this color scheme worked well and made it stand out."

Choose your own adventure

Wizards of the Coast didn't just sign off on the project and call it a job well done; they drummed up an original adventure to go along with it. 

"We leaned into the Lego building aspect," Perkins explains. "The adventure is designed to be run while the set is being built. It includes important information about all the set’s monsters, traps, treasures, and location features. Players build the set and reveal new things as they play through the adventure – with or without the D&D rules."

That's only right for a game where the only limit is your imagination – it became one of the best tabletop RPGs through that kind of individuality, after all.

"Lucas’ design and the set that the Lego team designed is so inspiring and contains so many fun elements that it was easy to build an adventure around it," says Perkins. "It allowed us to explore what the set has to offer. The adventure gets to explain how the monsters behave, how the traps work, and so on. Red Dragon’s Tale also offers a choice of play styles: one that requires the D&D rules and another that allows the adventure to be run as more of a storytelling experience, with minimal reliance on the rules. Having both options gives D&D players and non-D&D players different but equally fun ways to interact with the set. Partnering with Lego gave us that sort of flexibility. I expect Dungeon Masters will find many clever ways to include the set (or parts thereof) in their home campaigns."

Speaking of which, the crossover doesn't seem to have run out of steam yet – separate D&D minifigure packs have been rumored, and although that's still unconfirmed, Perkins notes that Wizards of the Coast are "definitely" interested in further collaborations thanks to the "overwhelming" response. So, what would he personally like to see next?

"I think Castle Ravenloft would make a fantastic set. Or, for something smaller, a Spelljammer ship like a Nautiloid."

We can but dream. Lucas, what's your schedule looking like…?
