Besides making plenty of game-themed sets based on Super Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Minecraft, Lego has also seen fit to give nostalgic Gen-Xers and Millenials (and retro-interested young folks) ways to rebuild the nostalgic gaming consoles of their past (minus the game-playing capability) with NES, Game Boy, and even Atari 2600 kits. Today, Lego and Sega unveiled the newest set to join the library of brick-based consoles: the Lego Sega Genesis.<\/p>\n<figure data-align=\"center\" data-size=\"large\"

Sega console (though technically not the first piece of Sega hardware) to enter the Lego lineup. Retailing for \u00a334.99 \/ \u20ac39.99 \/ $39.99, the set contains 479 pieces and is 4.5 inches long and six inches wide. It also comes with a cartridge and controllers you can insert and connect for the full console experience. You&#8217;ll be able to order the Lego Genesis from Lego itself online, or you can purchase it from your favorite brick-and-mortar retailer.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, eagle-eyed Sega fans have surely noticed that some pictures show the console with Genesis branding, while others say Mega Drive&#8211;the latter being the system&#8217;s Japanese and European moniker. The model will come with stickers allowing you to customize which console variant you want, so if you&#8217;re from North America but prefer the maiden name of Sega&#8217;s 16-bit legend, nobody&#8217;s going to stop you from building it however you want.<\/p>\n<p>Continue Reading at GameSpot<br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/lego-and-sega-are-bringing-you-a-buildable-tiny-sega-genesis\/1100-6539755\/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adult Lego fans have no shortage of ways to indulge in nostalgia in recent years.
