WithLEGOfans waiting patiently for more news on the company’s latest collaboration with Nintendo, a recent leak shed more light on the highly-anticipated set. With the success of theSuper Mario Bros.crossover, LEGO has continued to pursue its relationship with Nintendo, providing fans with several massive collections that faithfully recreate beloved series likeAnimal CrossingandThe Legend of Zelda. The companies even worked together to release a LEGO version of the Nintendo Entertainment System, butnow a smaller device is about to step into the spotlight.
PerVGC, citing reputable leakerFalconBricks,the LEGO Game Boy is slated to release on October 1 and will cost $59.99. That price may sound high but in comparison to the NES set, it’s significantly cheaper: That massive build cost a staggering $229.99, which makes sense given how much bigger it is. The LEGO Game Boy reportedly comprises 421 pieces, while the NES is made up of over 2,500 pieces, so the price difference is expected.

As with all leaks, it’s recommended that fans take the report with a grain of salt. At the time of writing,the only concrete information on the LEGO Game Boy is that it existsafter the company droppeda brief teaser trailerin January 2025 confirming that the set would be released in October 2025. LEGO hasn’t even revealed what the build looks like, leading many to question why the company would announce the product 10 months before its debut.
Given the reported piece count, it’s reasonable to conclude thatthe LEGO Game Boy will be a one-to-one recreation of the iconic handheld device.Much like the LEGO NES, it likely won’t feature any electronic components, so players hoping to construct a functional Game Boy may be disappointed. Having said that, the blocky LEGO aesthetic isperfect for the Game Boyand given the abundance of fan-builds, one has to assume that the official product will live up to the hype.
