We’ve seen a number of classic game consoles get the Lego treatment over the years, including the NES and Atari 2600. You’ll soon be able to build a version of the original Xbox as well \u2014 perhaps even while sitting on an Xbox cushion from IKEA. However, this is a model from Mattel rather than Lego.<\/p>\n
This is a 1:1-scale model of the Xbox. It’s a 3,509-piece interactive set with three small modules that reference Halo: Combat Evolved, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind<\/em> and Psychonauts<\/em> (which is slightly awkward, given Psychonauts<\/em> developer Double Fine only just separated from Xbox). The modules and their associated figurines can be removed and displayed separately.<\/p>\n One neat thing is that when you press a button on the chunky controller (which I wager may somehow even be more uncomfortable in brick form), it triggers a lighting effect on a module. The associated game’s soundtrack will play too. There’s also a hidden button combo that will set off “an exclusive lighting sequence,” according to a press release.<\/p>\n Pre-orders for the set are now open at Amazon, Best Buy and Mattel Creations. It won’t come cheap, though. The set will run you $330, which is more than the original console or the Xbox Series S initially cost. At least this brick set might not be subject to price increases because of the component crisis.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The $330 set includes a controller that interacts with three game-inspired dioramas.
