Welp, we’re obsessed.
After a leak and a tease yesterday, LEGO finally revealed its epic, Nintendo Entertainment System (NES)-inspired building set. And it moves!
Designed for adult LEGO fans, the 2,646-piece set comes with all of the bricks to build the NES console, a controller, and a retro TV with a flat 8-bit Mario figure on the screen (which will scroll when you turn a crank on the side). Once built, the set includes features such as a connecting cable and an opening slot for the Game Pak.
The set also interacts with the LEGO Mario figure from the previously announced LEGO Super Mario Starter Course (sold separately). Place him on top of the TV, and he will react to on-screen enemies, obstacles, and powerups as they scroll by.
Fans can get ahold of this super-collectible set from lego.com and LEGO stores starting on Aug. 1 for $229.99. It will be available at leading worldwide retailers starting next year.
See the set in action in the video below!
