This
month's drop is an especially good one, with icons from the silver screen and real world.

Let's start with the former: everyone's favorite extra-terrestrial is now available to buy in brick form. The Lego ET comes with a fully posable phone-home finger (complete with light-up tip), a plant pot, and a glowing heart brick. He is slightly less wrinkly than the big-screen version, but no less heart-stealing. On the real-world icon front, we now have an updated kit for London's Tower Bridge. This new version can raise and lower, and features details including a tiny red double-decker bus, an unrealistically
ultramarine Thames, and a tiny coat of arms that's an homage to the original set .

That's not all that's new from Lego this month. Fans of retro gaming will go bananas for the new Donkey Kong Arcade set, with a built-in barrel-releasing mechanism that means you can really play it, and Pokmon enthusiasts are spoiled for choice with multiple new kits, including an adorable Munchlax surrounded by discarded apple cores.
