Details about the Lego Game Boy set
The set contains 421 pieces and is designed to be near 1:1 scale with the original Game Boy, though it’s just a bit smaller. What makes it special are the interchangeable brick-built cartridges featuring classic games like The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land. On top of that, you get lenticular “screens” that swap between the Nintendo start screen and scenes from those games, adding a nice touch of nostalgia.
However, don’t expect it to play actual games. The Lego Game Boy doesn’t have any electronic functions like lights or sounds. It’s purely a build-and-display model, designed to be admired and enjoyed as a tribute to the handheld that defined portable gaming.
How to get your hands on it
The Lego Game Boy is priced at $59.99 and is already available for pre-order on Lego.com. It will officially launch on October 1, so you won’t have to wait too long to start building your own brick version of this iconic device.
This set is part of Lego’s broader collaboration with Nintendo, which includes other nostalgic kits like the Nintendo Entertainment System remake, the Great Deku Tree from The Legend of Zelda priced at $300, and various Super Mario-themed sets. If you’re into Nintendo and Lego, there’s plenty to explore.
Watch the classic commercial
To get you even more excited, Nintendo and Lego released a classic-style commercial for the Lego Game Boy set. It’s a great way to relive those old-school vibes while checking out the new build.
