Shovel Knight's King of Cards Out Now
|
|
  Via Yacht Club Games: Shovel Knight: King of Cards.
The original game and two expansions came out of Kickstarter back when the Wii U was still a viable format, and it looks like if you bought the original game on PC, Playstations 3 or 4, 3DS, Xbox One, Vita, and so on, you can play the new campaign without having to pay for it. Of course, if you're like me, you just went ahead and bought that Amiibo 3-pack. Functionally it's nothing too special but it's not like there are other toys to grab.

  Via Thingiverse: Virtual Boy Consolizer Case. You can transform a damaged VirtualBoy with a working motherboard into a console for the TV with the right parts - and this is a case you could use, if you wanted to make one yourself.

More Lanard Aliens Coming, Possibly Hitting
|
|
  Via Walmart.com: Alien - Xenomorph Attack - Advanced-APC Vehicle and Alien - Xenomorph Attack - Super-Power Loader. These 3 3/4-inch vehicles and figures are a mix of new and old parts, and could well be hitting at the next big toy reset any day now.
A few Instagram posts and eBay auctions indicate these may already be hitting US Walmart stores. The smaller sets are about $10, the APC and Power Loader sets are $15, and I was unable to find the Queen on Walmart's web site. Not all Lanard items make it out to the USA, where these are marked as Walmart exclusives. Alongside the $50 G1 Astrotrain reissues.
