Easy Modification to Merumeru

If you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on Hasbro’s new Merumeru figure, you may not be too happy about the sculpted armor on his right forearm. 

But if you’re willing to shell out for a second copy of this figure, you can make a pretty simple modification to give him a more natural look, which essentially gives you a generic Wookiee.  Check out this simple process after the jump!

Target Implements Security Measures for LEGO Sets

Upon making my usual stop at Target this morning, I noticed that they have started affixing foil, tamper-evident, security stickers on all of their LEGO sets priced $29.99 or higher.

It would be nice if Toys”R”Us would utilize this method of theft prevention instead of using those Spider security devices we’ve all seen marring the boxes of vehicles like the Millennium Falcon, Republic Gunship and AT-AT.
