San Diego, California – At the recent San Diego Comic-Con 2025, LEGO unveiled a highly anticipated new set: a 1:1 scale replica of the classic Nintendo Game Boy. The detailed 421-piece model, showcased by Tom’s Guide, meticulously recreates the iconic handheld console, complete with functional elements. The new set features a D-pad, A and B buttons, and 'Select' and 'Start' buttons, all designed to mimic the original. A notable innovation is the inclusion of swappable Game Paks, miniature brick versions of classic Game Boy cartridges, which can be inserted into the top of the console, mirroring the original's functionality. The set also includes a screen that evokes the grayscale display of the vintage device. This release is expected to resonate strongly with both retro gaming enthusiasts and LEGO collectors, blending nostalgia with the creative possibilities of brick building. The faithful reproduction and interactive elements position it as a significant addition to LEGO’s growing collection of pop culture-inspired sets.
