LEGO fans eagerly await the company’s latest collaboration with Nintendo. A recent leak has shed more light on the highly-anticipated LEGO Game Boy set. According to VGC, citing reputable leaker FalconBricks, the LEGO Game Boy is scheduled for release on October 1, priced at $59.99.
In comparison, the massive LEGO NES set costs a staggering $229.99. While this might seem expensive, considering the significant difference in piece count (421 vs over 2,500), it’s reasonable. The report confirms that the LEGO Game Boy consists of 421 pieces and will be an exact recreation of the iconic handheld device.
However, fans should take the leak with a grain of salt as the only concrete information is that the set exists. There’s no confirmation on what the build looks like or whether it’ll feature electronic components. Nevertheless, given the reported piece count, it’s likely to be a faithful replica.
Fans are eagerly anticipating this release and might be disappointed if they hope for a functional Game Boy. Nonetheless, the blocky LEGO aesthetic is perfect for the device, and considering fan-made builds, there’s high anticipation for an official product that lives up to expectations.
As part of Nintendo x LEGO collaborations, these sets follow the success of the initial Super Mario Bros. set and popular Legend of Zelda collections. Fans can’t wait for more franchises like Metroid, Star Fox, or Wii Sports to receive the LEGO treatment, further boosting the popularity of these iconic classics.
