It's getting scary out there. We're talking about the Halloween season, of course. Neighborhoods are now filled with 12-foot tall skeletons and porches have decorative gourds. But when the temps drop and we head inside, it's time to build some Lego sets. If you've been eyeing a set, now is a great time to buy because Lego is adding on a free Halloween-themed set that you don't want to miss out on.

Until Oct. 7 or stock sells out, spend $120 or more at Lego and receive a free Luminous Ghost build, which ordinarily sells for $19.99. Free shipping kicks in on order over $35, so you're also in for no shipping fees. The $120 order can't be used to pre-order sets if you want to score the free ghost.

As a shock to no one, Lego has irresistible Halloween builds on offer. And as a little treat, the Danish brand is offering everyone a free Luminous Ghost build, so long as you spend $120 or more. The Luminous Ghost build features a ghost with illuminated red eyes (battery included) and it appears the little fella has a pet bat that tags along on the journey. There's also an adorable pumpkin in the build, too.

Spending $120 is easy to do at Lego when browsing the site. Halloween builds include the excellent Disney Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas which would put you over the $120 threshold. We also have to point out the new Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory set which has a chocolate waterfall, Oompa Loompas, and snozzberries that probably taste like Lego bricks and not snozzberries.

Whatever your Lego preference, there's a set just for you to score the free Luminous Ghost. Lego mentions this deal is good until Oct. 7 or supplies last, so it's best to hop to the buying and building soon. Just don't hop on the Lego bricks themselves.

Swollen Samsung Galaxy Ring battery reportedly leads to hospital visit

Tue, 09/30/2025 - 16:13

Samsung's signature smart ring may have sent someone to the hospital, according to an experience shared by a popular tech YouTuber.

An X user named Daniel, who runs a YouTube channel called ZONEofTECH, posted photos on X on Monday that allegedly showed a Samsung Galaxy Ring having swollen to the point where he couldn't remove it from his finger. Daniel said in a follow-up post that this happened while he was boarding a plane, at which point he was denied entry due to the presence of a swollen lithium-ion battery. He also said he went to the hospital and had the ring removed there. It's not clear where this happened or which hospital he went to for treatment.

Daniel shared on X that he obtained the ring in January, was unsure of the health of the battery but suspected it had an issue as the battery life "stopped lasting more than 1.5 days" rather than the advertised week. Daniel said the ring battery had no charge when it allegedly swelled.

Mashable has reached out to both Daniel and Samsung for comment. In the photos, it looks like the inner portion of the ring has expanded due to a swollen battery, and due to the way the ring is constructed, it swells inward rather than outward. That would certainly make it difficult to remove the ring from a finger. As 9to5Google pointed out, there have been previous reports of this happening with the Galaxy Ring, though not necessarily ones that ended in hospital visits.

Samsung UK reached out to Daniel directly on X, and also supplied the following statement to 9to5Google:

The safety of our customers is a top priority and we are in direct contact with this user to learn more about their concerns. While experiences like this are extremely rare, there are a few ways to attempt removing a stuck ring, including soap and water – or submerging your hand in cold water. If these methods do not work, additional information is provided on our Samsung Support page.
