🕹 The History of LEGO × Nintendo Collaborations

Since 2020, LEGO and Nintendo have merged physical building and iconic digital gameplay. Their earliest major release — LEGO Super Mario — let fans create interactive courses using smart bricks.

Later that year came the LEGO NES Set, a detailed, buildable replica of the original Nintendo Entertainment System and CRT-style TV — a nostalgic masterpiece that set the stage for handheld collectibles.

💾 Why Game Boy Collectibles Are So Popular

Launched in 1989, the Game Boy introduced millions to portable gaming. From Tetris to Pokémon Red/Blue, it became more than a console — it was a companion on long trips and during childhood adventures.

Recreating it in LEGO form brings that nostalgia to life, brick by brick.


🧱 The Evolution of LEGO Game Boy Sets

Early LEGO Game Boy builds focused on faithful design — buttons, screen, cartridge slot — all captured in studs and slopes.

Newer kits now include lenticular screens, cartridge replicas (like Zelda or Mario), and easel-style display stands.
