The Incredibly Detailed LEGO NES Is Now Available

Eighties and Nineties kids with discretionary income will want to take a look at this. The LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System is now available for purchase from the LEGO Store for $229.99. It’s not cheap, but this is an intricate set that can bring back childhood memories of sitting in the glow of a CRT television, NES controller in hand. Can you really put a price on that? (Turns out you can, and it’s $229.99). The set is currently exclusive to the LEGO Store. Word is that next year it will go out to other retailers.

Also available are the LEGO Super Mario Starter Pack along with a slew of add-ons at the LEGO Store.

Ringing in at 2,646 pieces, this set has all kinds of bells and whistles. It includes a buildable NES console, with a working cartridge tray and lid, as well as a controller. You’ll also build a Super Mario Bros. cartridge and even insert it into the block-constructed console. Finally there’s a cathode-ray tube television that has a crank on the side. Turn the crank, and a portion of Super Mario Bros. World 1-1 scrolls by.

And if you pick up the LEGO Super Mario Adventures Starter Course, you can place the Mario figure from that set into a slot on top of the TV. The figure will then play the Mario theme and react to on-screen enemies as you scroll by.
