After teasing it earlier this year, Lego has unveiled its Game Boy set<\/a>. The 421-piece model is a “brick-built replica of the original Game Boy” and has buttons you can press, including the +Control Pad, A and B buttons and Select and Start \u2014 though you can’t play games on it, obviously. It even comes with brick replicas of Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land game paks, along with corresponding lenticular screens or a Nintendo start screen.<\/p>\n

Once built, you can set the Lego Game Boy and paks on a buildable display stand “for the ultimate piece of retro-inspired home or office gaming decor,” Lego says. Other details you can admire include a contrast adjustment and volume dial, along with the Game Pak slot.<\/p>\n

The Game Boy set is not Lego’s first crack at a Nintendo-based product. Back in 2020, the company released a set<\/a> based on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). The new Lego Game Boy set is now available for pre-order on Amazon for $59<\/a> with shipping starting October 1, 2025.<\/p>\n
