Has Lego ever released a Spider-man minifig where the mask is a helmet piece, or a custom molded head piece without the stud?

It is very satisfying so far knowing how the story ends. There are so many clues and descriptions peppered throughout that have such a different meaning now. I don't generally read a lot of mysteries but this whole story feels very smartly written and put together.

Just watched it for the first time and I was struck by how perfect Bob Hoskins was as Mario and given the quality of the movie how much of a waste it was.

Other random thoughts:

1. That bitch stabbed Yoshi!

2. Point and shoot computer interface?

3. I like the relationship between Mario and Luigi and how Luigi isn't given short shrift. Luigi as adopted orphan and Mario as big brother/father figure really works.

4. If all you had done was play the Super Mario Bros game, setting the movie in a crazy urban landscape is an odd choice.

5. I like the fireball launching guns. That's a nice translation from the game. As are the jumping boots which did not get nearly enough use and screentime.

I was shopping at my local Goodwill and I found multiple unopened Blu-rays of The Last Jedi. This Goodwill seems to take in whatever the nearby Target is looking to get rid of. I find lots of formerly clearanced Lego sets, games, and various home goods. But I was shocked to find TLJ Blu-rays. Not sure what it means but I found it odd. Did Target order too many? Are they precluded from clearancing them out per agreement from Disney?

I'm trying to turn off the horn beep on locking and unlocking but it's not working for whatever reason. Holding the lock and unlock buttons for several seconds. I even hear the beep/lights flashing but every time I go to lock or unlock it still beeps. Can anyone give me an idea of what I may be doing wrong? Or is there another way to do it?

I read Sleeping Giants awhile ago but I don't remember much of the plot. The sequel is now in my library queue but it started referencing some crazy spoilers from the last book that I have no memory of. Can anyone point me to or give me a brief synopsis for Sleeping Giants?

Hear me out! Pokemon Go, with 3 factions, like Rebel, Imperial, and Bounty Hunter, but instead of collecting Pokemon you grab Stormtroopers, or Rebel Spies, or underworld types. You go to the park and you find and defeat a Stormtrooper for the day, or maybe recover plans for the Death Star. Maybe after the game gets going you can find an AT-AT, or a Landspeeder, or Ewoks. Maybe one day you go to the park and there's a hundred Stormtroopers!

Anyway, someone brought up Pokemon Go to me today and lightbulb just went off in my head and I had to share it.

I've been thinking about it a lot the last few weeks but looking through Google News today was the tipping point.

I'm not talking about the damage done by people saying they didn't like TLJ. Calling out Lucasfilm or people associated with them for this or that probably doesn't have much effect in the grand scheme.

I'm not even talking about the damage done by the movie itself. Bad movies happen. They can always make another movie and hopefully take the audiences response into account to one degree or another.

What has definitely done the most damage to Star Wars is this narrative started by Lucasfilm in the media/blogosphere/Twitterland that Star Wars fans are toxic. That Star Wars is
