The collectible 421-piece brick-built replica of the original Game Boy handheld game system features details including the control pad, A and B buttons, and the select and start buttons, alongside other iconic Game Boy details, such as the contrast adjustment and volume dial.
What they're saying:
According to LEGO, the LEGO Game Boy model building kit is a "testament to a classic era in gaming, and with authentic details and much-loved features is a nostalgic throwback to the classic system."
To dial up the nostalgia further, LEGO said the design also comes with interchangeable, brick-built The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening and Super Mario Land Game Boy game cartridges, known as game paks.
