The book titled LEGO Star Wars Luke Skywalker's Galactic Adventures is now officially available at Amazon and is already listed as out of stock, although it is possible to order it and patiently wait for it to return to the shelves.

A minifigure of Luke Skywalker accompanies the book; unfortunately, it is not new or exclusive, but it may interest collectors who do not want to spend €1000 to obtain it: this figure is in fact the one delivered since October 2025 only in the LEGO Star Wars set 75419 UCS Death Star (€999,99).

For those who might be interested because they have a young LEGO NINJAGO fan in their circle, know that the publisher Buster Books is offering a book this year that aims to teach them how to draw their favorite characters.

The idea seems quite good to me with a real added value that goes far beyond the simple consultation of official visuals gathered in a book and this book is accompanied by a minifig of Master Wu which is not new but which was only delivered in the LEGO NINJAGO set 71819 Dragon Stone Shrine (€119.99) in 2024, a box already removed from the official online store.

If you want to get a better idea of ​​what this 64-page book, which is currently available for pre-order and will be available from August 13, 2026, has to offer, an interactive preview of a sample of a few pages is available on Amazon.

For those who are interested, please note that the publisher Qilinn is currently offering a new play set for pre-order which will allow you to play mini-golf with LEGO bricks from October 16, 2026.

The product pitch is simple: you get a set of 144 pieces, game boards, and 9 mini-golf balls. The accompanying 56-page book allows you to assemble 9 different courses, including windmills, a pirate ship, a giant octopus, and even a loop-the-loop.

Why not, and even if the product is sold for €30 and I find it all a bit expensive, at least there will be enough to really have some fun with.

If you already have everything the LEGO Star Wars range offers and you can't resist the word "exclusive", know that the publisher Buster Books is going all out this year with a new activity book that will allow you to obtain from August 13, 2026 a Darth Vader minifigure that you probably already have in your collection which will be accompanied by an exclusive Mouse Droid (it's written in big red letters on the cover) to this book.

More seriously, I'm not sure that argument will be enough to convince even the most dedicated collectors. It's up to you.

It's available for pre-order on Amazon:

Today we're taking a look at the other exclusive minifigure expected this time in the Marvel universe: that of T'Chaka which will be included in the cover of the LEGO Marvel Secrets of the Avengers book to be released on June 4, 2026.

It's obviously a bit less sexy than the "Joker-ized" Batman that will be available in July 2026, but at least the character has the merit of existing in minifigure form. As always with Black Panther, LEGO makes no effort on the legs and simply provides us with a pair of black ones.

T'Chaka, who makes a full-length appearance in one of the deleted scenes from the film Black Panther, undoubtedly deserved better, even with a subtle print on his legs. And that's without even mentioning the need for continuity in the tunic, which clearly extends down his left thigh on screen.

The minifigure is still, in my opinion, a success, with superb printing on the mask that's quite faithful to the version seen on screen. The torso is also nicely executed with a pleasing level of detail while remaining true to LEGO's graphic style.

An amusing detail: the minifigure is placed in its slot with the horns facing forward. A small piece of the design is also missing from the crown that attaches to the character's head; LEGO could have added a gold line to ensure visual continuity between the two pieces. We know the manufacturer is skilled in this type of printing; the minifigure in the LEGO Marvel set 76047 Black Panther Pursuit benefited from it in 2016.

No pad-printed arms or heads with extra hair, the latter refinement being generally reserved for "classic" LEGO products.

As with the Batman figure in the LEGO DC Batman Adventures in Gotham City book , the figure is not protected on the front of the cover but it cannot be removed without tearing the cardboard insert that holds it in place.

I won't give you a rundown of what's inside the book; it's the usual format with lots of official images and some facts about the different figures listed. You can find a few sample pages on the product page on Amazon. It's in English, and we don't know yet if a French version will be released.

The 96-page book is already available for pre-order on Amazon for just over €18. I won't wait for its official release to order it, as we know these products sell out very quickly upon launch. Don't make the mistake of ordering the Kindle version, which will obviously be in digital format and without minifigures.

Note: The product shown here, provided by the publisher Dorling Kindersley , is, as usual, being given away. The deadline is May 23, 2026 at 23:59 PM. Simply leave a comment below the article to participate.
