Just finished the Sonic & Tails LEGO sets! Feels a bit too complex for the 8+ age rating on the box, but still a fun build. Like he says in the game, "We're Sonic Heroes, transform and roll out!"

BREAKING: Mat Piscatella posted Circana's US sales, and #SonicRacingCrossWorlds has charted for a fourth month! #SonicNews

It charted on both the all platform charts (13th) and on the Switch charts (8th), meaning this is likely driven by Switch sales.

I think we need to update Dead Internet Theory.

Clearly 80% of all internet traffic is Sonic fans discussing what characters should be in things.
