Lego Unveils Game Boy Replica Set for Retro Gaming Fans
Lego has officially launched its highly anticipated Game Boy set, a nostalgic tribute to the iconic handheld console. The 421-piece model is a detailed brick-built replica of the original Nintendo Game Boy, complete with pressable buttons like the Control Pad, A and B, and Select and Start. While it doesn’t actually play games, the set includes brick versions of classic Game Pak cartridges for Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land.
The set also features lenticular screens that can switch between game displays and the classic Nintendo start screen, adding to the retro charm. Once assembled, the Lego Game Boy can be placed on a buildable display stand, making it a perfect decorative piece for gaming enthusiasts at home or in the office. Additional details like the contrast adjustment dial, volume control, and Game Pak slot enhance the authenticity of the design.
This isn’t Lego’s first collaboration with Nintendo. In 2020, the company released a set based on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), which was well-received by fans. The new Lego Game Boy set is now available for pre-order on Amazon for 59 dollars, with shipping expected to begin on October 1, 2025.
The set offers a fun building experience while celebrating the legacy of one of gaming’s most beloved devices. For collectors and Lego fans alike, this replica is a must-have addition to any retro gaming collection.
