Imagine holding a piece of your childhood nostalgia in your hands, ready to build the iconic device that revolutionized gaming! Lego has teamed up with Nintendo once again to create an astonishing 1:1-scale replica of the original Game Boy, and it’s about to hit the shelves this October.

For those who remember the thrill of squeezing your fingers around that chunky handheld console back in 1989, this Lego set is a dream come true. With dimensions of 14 x 9 x 3 centimeters (5.5 x 3.5 x 1.2 inches), it perfectly captures the essence of the gaming relic we all adored.

This isn't just a regular Lego kit—inside the 421-piece box, you’ll find replica cartridges, or “Game Paks,” for two of the most beloved titles: Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening. Sure, some might argue that Tetris deserves the spotlight, but Nintendo cleverly chose these games to showcase their in-house brilliance while providing stunning artwork for the Lego screen pieces.

What’s really brilliant about this design is how the screen pieces fit underneath a clear plastic cover, mimicking the actual glass monitor of the original device. This keeps the aesthetic pristine, while you can still press the D-pad, start, select, A, and B buttons, just like you did during those late-night gaming sessions. There’s even an adjustable volume and screen contrast dial, making the whole setup eerily authentic—almost like a real handheld device waiting to spring to life.

Mark your calendars because this nostalgic treasure is hitting the shelves on October 1! You can snag one for $59.99 in the U.S. or 9,280 yen in Japan, and preorders are already available through the Lego online store. Get ready to rekindle those gaming memories!
