IN PICTURES: LEGO Old Republic toys land this summer

The LEGO Group is building on its range of Star Wars products with the first toysets based on The Old Republic.

Two vehicles from Electronic Arts’ best-selling BioWare-developed MMORPG will be available in the UK from July 28th.

Jedi fans will no doubt favour the Red Talon Starfighter (below), which will retail at 39.99, while the higher-end Fury Class Interceptor (bottom) is priced at 79.99.

Star Wars: The Old Republic was released for PC back in December. The subscription-based MMO is currently free to play as part of a weekend promotion. The game has sold more than 2m copies since its debut.

LEGO has previously released toys based on the original Star Wars films, the prequels and the Clone Wars cartoon series. It also launched sets based on characters and vehicles from LucasArts video game, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
