Lego is giving away free Star Wars Bo-Katan sets at Best Buy — how to get yours today
TL;DR: Head to a participating Best Buy on June 27 between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. local time to build and take home a free 133-piece Lego Star Wars Bo-Katan set.
Opens in a new window Credit: Best Buy Best Buy: Free 133-Piece Lego Star Wars Bo-Katan Set Learn MoreLego regularly runs make and take events, giving builders a rare opportunity to walk away with a custom mini-set that money literally cannot buy. We’ve covered a fair share of these freebies over the years, but this upcoming event is particularly exciting for fans of a galaxy far, far away.
On Saturday, June 27, Best Buy is hosting a Lego Star Wars in-store event where you can build and take home a Bo-Katan Lego Star Wars set for absolutely nothing, saving 100% on what would easily be a $10 to $15 collectible.
The event will run from 12-2 p.m. local time on June 27 at participating Best Buy locations (check locations here).
SEE ALSO: Early Prime Day toy deals are live: Shop Lego, Pokémon, and more at low pricesWhen you arrive, you’ll be handed the 133-piece character set and step-by-step instructions to assemble the legendary Mandalorian warrior. Once the build is complete, it's yours to keep. No purchase is necessary, and you don’t even need to show a Best Buy membership card to participate.
A 133-piece set is an incredibly generous offering for a free event. Usually, these store giveaways feature tiny, 50-piece micro-builds (like the N-1 Starfighter event we saw earlier this year).
It's important to note that these events are first-come, first-served. Quantities are strictly limited. If you turn up just before 2 p.m., expect to walk away empty-handed. We suggest arriving slightly before noon to secure your spot.
And no, you can't turn up with a trench coat and try to hoard five of them. It's a strict limit of one build per person.
Good luck to everyone planning to make the trek on June 27 — and may the brick-building Force be with you.

The speaker matching rule that most home theaters get wrong
You can't buy any speaker you want and then hook them up together and expect a real home theater from scratch. This isn't a soundbar; these are speakers that need to work together to do well. You have to know what you're doing and why it works to have the theater sound you want.

As of June 27, Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) headphones are on sale for $369 at Amazon. That's $80 off and better than Prime Day. It's $10 better than Prime Day, to be exact. We're not sure why we're seeing multiple top headphones fall in price after Prime Day, but we're not unhappy about it.
It does raise legitimate questions about the validity of Prime Day as a whole, but we're not going to get into that right now. We're just going to focus on Bose QuietComfort Ultra (2nd Gen) headphones at a great price. That's what really matters here.
In Mashable review of these headphones, Bethany Allard writes: "The second-generation Bose QuietComfort Ultra headphones are a good choice for someone who wants all-day wear and has yet to buy into the QC Ultra line." Allard also notes that these are "The most comfortable headphones on the market."

Prime Day is over but you can still save up to $750 on MacBooks
Sad as it is, Prime Day 2026 is over. However, like every Prime Day event, there are still some deals that linger. If just today you've decided you need a laptop upgrade, you might still be luck for a nice discount.
The ongoing global RAM shortage has led most PC makers to raise their laptop prices this year. As of this week, that even includes Apple: All of its MacBooks are now at least $100 more expensive than they were at launch. (Goodbye, $599 MacBook Neo. We hardly knew ye.)
Mercifully, Amazon offered some sweet RAMageddon relief during its annual Prime Day sale, but now that it's over, we still have a few leftover sales. MacBooks win for the best discount, but you can also find a few Windows laptops on sale.
SEE ALSO: Prime Day ends today: We found the 150+ best deals on Apple, DJI, Kindle, and Lego favoritesAs Mashable's resident expert on all things laptops, I have to tell you that Amazon carries a much smaller selection of Windows laptops, gaming laptops, and Chromebooks than other major retailers — especially Best Buy, which happens to be running a competing Tech Fest sale this week. I've rounded up Amazon's most worth-it laptop deals below that are still hanging on.
FYI: Deals marked with a 🔥 have fallen to record-low prices.

Powered by the M5 chip, Apple's sleek MacBook Air is faster than any other Windows laptop at its price point (and even many that are way more expensive). Its overall build quality also smokes most of the competition: It comes equipped with a luxe haptic touchpad, a sharp Liquid Retina display, and 12MP webcam. The 15-inch base model just got price-bumped to $1,499, but Amazon is selling it for $1,149.99 right now — a 23% savings. If it sells out there, you can find the same deal at Costco (and it's open to non-members).

Still hanging on after Prime Day is Amazon's sale price on the Lenovo Slim 7i Aura Edition. Matching the lowest price we've ever seen at Amazon, the Lenovo Slim 7i is down to $999.99, which is a $300 savings compared to the normal price of $1,299.99. With a 14-inch OLED display, 16GB memory, and a major 1TB storage, the Lenovo can get up to 34 hours of battery life before it needs a recharge. Since it weighs about three pounds and has a slim 0.55-inch profile, it could make for a great work laptop that's also travel worthy. The same applies for students who carry their laptop to campus.

It's not supposed to be this way.
Prime Day is over, and most of the best deals are gone. In fact, almost everything is gone. If you're searching for best-ever deals on AirPods, MacBooks, DJI drones, and Kindles, you'll probably need to wait until the next Prime Day or even Black Friday.
But if you're shopping for new headphones, you've still got a chance.

They also give you the choice of Adaptive Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode, plus exceptional comfort and a long battery life of up to 60 hours. What's not to like?

How professional creators avoid content droughts
Creators are expected to constantly be coming up with new content. But what to do when your well of ideas runs dry?
That was the topic at the Vidcon 2026 panel, Never Running Out of Ideas: How to Build a Content Strategy That Keeps Your Audience Hooked.
Moderated by television personality Shira Lazar, this panel brought together professional creators Anthpo and Siow Wei to discuss how they ideate, pick what to work on next, and whether what they've made is good enough to post online. (Alex Ojeda was billed, but did not ultimately attend.)
Anthpo: Ideation comes from practice Anthpo on the VidCon 2026 panel Never Running Out of Ideas: How to Build a Content Strategy That Keeps Your Audience Hooked. Credit: Kristy Puchko / MashableThe American influencer is best known for concocting the viral Timothee Chalamet look-a-like contest and creating characters like Cheeseball Man and Kid with Crocs.
During the panel, he shared that he has a Google Doc filled with ideas, and also uses his phone's Notes app to scribble down any inspirations that come to mind while on the go. "I'd say ideation is a muscle," he mused. "The more you do it, the more your mind is constantly racing."
To that end, Anthpo said he uses flights as a space to create, working the ideation muscle. "I'll do [it] every plane ride I take," he explained. "I don't do anything other than write in my Notes app."
How do creators pick which idea is worth doing?Siow Wei is a Malaysian content creator who was featured on Forbes 30 under 30 last year for the massive success she's had under the handle im_siowei. By creating an array of characters for family-friendly comedy videos, she's become one of Asia's biggest content creators.
However, she told the panel at VidCon she didn't set out to make kid-friendly comedy. When evaluating the data of how her videos were doing, it was that demographic where she was most thriving. Data is what drives her decisions as she builds her library and brand.
Anthpo noted he and Siow Wei come from different schools of thought on what to prioritize. For him, it's more about a gut feeling. "Once you have an idea, there's like two litmus tests," he said. "There's, like, the data side, which is super powerful. And then there's also, like, the emotional side." For him, he's excited when he comes up with something "very experimental," or that "feels [magical] and also executable."
He emphasized the importance of following your passion for an idea. Referencing the Rick Rubin book, The Creative Act, Anthpo paraphrased a piece of the author's advice, saying, "If you have a really great idea and you don't execute it, somebody else in the zeitgeist will do it. And I found that to be 100% true. If I'm like, 'That's a great idea,' and I don't do within the first six months, someone does it."
How do content creators know their work is good quality before they post? Never Running Out of Ideas: How to Build a Content Strategy That Keeps Your Audience Hooked panel at Vidcon 2026, featuring Anthpo, Siow Wei, and Shira Lazar Credit: Kristy Puchko / MashableSiow Wei uses WhatsApp to communicate with her team and test out jokes. Anthpo uses a group of friends whom he knows won't lie to spare his feelings.
"The meanest people in my life are by far my most valuable assets," he explained, "like the people that are just like, 'Yo, this video sucks, bro.' Those people are so valuable to me. I've got probably seven of them. If I send a video or an idea to them, and all seven of them are like 'that's good,' it always rips."
What do content creators do when they're running out of ideas?Siow Wei has a collection of comedy characters, like Swaggy, Randy, Besty, Richy, and Billy. But she's always happy to expand her menagerie. "Okay, we have run out of content," she said, considering the scenario. "Okay, what's next? Let's create another character, there's more possibility that we can bring it into our content."
For Anthpo, he finds new ideas by trying something new.
"I've reinvented myself many times on the internet," he said. "I've been doing this for like 12 years now. I used to do sketch comedy. Then I was in a TikTok house. And then I made skits. And then I made college content, and then I [worked for Mr. Beast]. Then the past two years I've been doing these like anonymous stunts." He noted what he's doing recently is being called performance art, while he's been dubbed "dumb internet Banksy," and he's cool with that.
Anthpo champions not only taking risks, but also learning from your failures.
"I failed many, many, many, many, many times," he said, noting that failure can be a great teacher, providing "data" for how to improve.
What every creator should know — according to Anthpo and Siow WeiBoth agreed you should know about the purple horse (or cow). Anthpo explained this marketing concept to the audience. Essentially, if you see a horse along the side of the road, you might notice it. But you won't stop your trip to see it. However, if you see a purple horse, you'll stop your car to take a closer look.
Translated to the creator economy, you want to be the purple horse, the something special in the landscape that makes people stop and pay attention.
For Anthpo, he does that by chasing what excites him. "[What] I like to chop it down to is I like to delight people," he said. "Give them something they haven't seen before, or give them a feeling they want to consistently feel."
Siow Wei added: "Put that purple horse in the first three seconds [of your video]."
She explained how the unique way she drinks boba tea has hooked viewers, "so you're catching the attention," rather than getting lost in an endless scroll online.
Last but not least, both creators emphasized the importance of building a team you can trust. Anthpo put it succinctly, saying, "Be surrounded by people who are joyous and don't drag you down and are going to be kind, but also aren't afraid to be like, 'Yo, this video is trash.'"

We were treated to a wave of impressive deals on DJI drones over Prime Day. Seriously, almost every model was down to its best-ever price.
By now most content creators will be aware of the restrictions on DJI products in the U.S.. But it's important to note that buyers can still purchase and use drones that are already available through normal retailers. The new rules only impact future imports. Devices that are already in stock can still be sold, including the DJI Mini 5 Pro.
This was one of the few drones to not get a discount over Prime Day. And you could argue that it still hasn't, but we've been tracking the price of this drone for some time, and we can tell you with confidence that $1,099 is a decent deal. It has been listed for $1,599 for much of 2026, so you're getting good value for money with this list price.
This model is an ultra-light, palm-sized foldable drone that can fit into your pocket. It's small but mighty, delivering 42GB of internal storage, a 1-inch CMOS sensor that records 4K/60fps HDR video, and a 225° flexible gimbal that lets you take vertical shots and video from multiple angles.
That's not all: The nightscape omnidirectional obstacle sensor with forward-facing LiDAR helps detect obstacles, so you're investment shouldn't smash into the nearest tree. It also has an upgraded ActiveTrack 360° which keeps the subjects of your shot in frame. It's a content creators dream.
Forget Prime Day — get this DJI drone deal from Amazon this weekend.
Conditional formatting breaks in Excel PivotTables—until you turn on this hidden setting
Conditional formatting and PivotTables are two of Excel's most powerful features, but they don't always play nicely together. Apply a standard color scale or data bar to a PivotTable, and a refresh, filter, or layout change can quickly throw things off. Fortunately, Excel includes a lesser-known PivotTable-aware mode that scopes formatting rules to fields rather than fixed worksheet ranges.

Global World Cup fans came to the U.S. for soccer. Now theyre taking over MLB stadiums.
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup moves across the United States, traveling fans have been filling their off days with a very American tourist activity: going to an MLB game.
From Fenway Park to Yankee Stadium, MLB stadiums are suddenly filling with bagpipes, kilts, Viking hats, flags, singing, and a new crop of baseball fans learning the game in real-time.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.It all started on June 14, the day after Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in Foxborough for its first World Cup win since 1990, when a pack of Scottish fans marched through Boston and into Fenway Park for a Red Sox-Rangers game that had already been planned as Scottish Heritage Night. Kismet!
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.Flocks of fans in kilts and Scotland jerseys packed sections of the ballpark, sang through the game, and brought such electric energy that Red Sox president Sam Kennedy later wrote to the Scottish Football Association, thanking the Tartan Army for turning Fenway into “a meeting point between two sporting cultures."

June 22, ahead of Scotland’s World Cup match against Brazil, thousands of Scotland fans marched from Ball & Chain in Little Havana to loanDepot park for the Marlins’ game against the Texas Rangers.
Inside the ballpark, roughly 8,000 members of the Tartan Army were part of an announced crowd of 20,008. Starter Tyler Phillips called the atmosphere “unbelievable” in a post-game press conference and said, “I would have us paying those people to show up to the games.” (He may have been joking, but the Marlins ticket office should at least hear him out.) Cody Freeman was also awestruck.

On June 24, a group of Norway fans showed up at Citi Field for the Mets’ doubleheader against the Cubs, shortly after Norway’s 3-2 win over Senegal at MetLife Stadium helped send the team to the knockout stage for the first time since 1998.
The Norwegian fans turned part of the outfield seats red, wore Viking hats, waved flags, danced in the stands, and performed the now-viral “Viking Row” celebration in the bleachers. Mr. and Mrs. Met even joined in. We love the commitment.

Baseball may not have been on every World Cup fan’s itinerary, but it has become one of the tournament’s best off-day surprises. It's awesome to see everyone having a good time at regular-season baseball games again, even if half the crowd is still figuring out what counts as a strike.
Global World Cup fans came to the U.S. for soccer. Now theyre taking over MLB stadiums.
As the 2026 FIFA World Cup moves across the United States, traveling fans have been filling their off days with a very American tourist activity: going to an MLB game.
From Fenway Park to Yankee Stadium, MLB stadiums are suddenly filling with bagpipes, kilts, Viking hats, flags, singing, and a new crop of baseball fans learning the game in real-time.

Kismet!
