can’t you buy a real game boy in decent shape for this price still?
Unfortunately nope. Cheapest I could find was $120-$150.
Wow they have gone up recently… I have 3, paid like $20-60 for 2 over the last 5yrs and one I got 15yrs ago for $10
Ye a lot of the 'retro' gaming has gone up in recent years (especially Nintendo products).
does it play games as well?
It "plays" them as fast as you can build new screens.
I've signed up for the newsletter a few times with a few emails the past few days and received nothing :S
I just tried and it works for me.
Did you check spam folder?
It's a lego set mate
hahaha oops
My Kmart order arrived today. But theres a temptation to buy another so I can have multiple on display wothout changing the title screen displays.
No cost of living crisis here.
We bare the cost of your living
Hey now I work hard (30-40 hour weeks) and pay taxes like most other Australians. If I want to splurge on Lego (or gaming, expanding my bluray/4K collection - not many other vices) while also paying bills + food and other expenses… I shall do so. I don't drink, smoke or gamble.
And for the record I did click and collect the Lego Game Boy from Target. Not the first time I've doubled up on a Lego set. I got the Lego Batmobile (1989) during COVID Lockdown…. purchased a second set months later, purely for 2 display pieces. Also purchased the mini Batmobile tumbler twice within a year, two mini Lego Batwings etc.Contemplating buying the 1966 Batmobile again as well. I'm also not afraid to go after retired/discontinued sets, I paid $700 for a Lego Voltron over a year ago.
I also frequently buy the same game, across multiple systems. Originally in the late 2000's it started off as just a side thing (playing NBA 2K/Fifa/Madden etc against friends who had it on one platform but not another). It also became an excuse to use a selected platform more often. I still do it today for similar (nonsensical lol) reasons.
He said "bare". I can only assume he means we're exposed to your purchase. Go nuts on what makes you happy!
Thanks OP, bought at $66
I remember buying an old Gameboy Color and a Tetris DX. Was fun for a little while, but the no backlight made it annoying to actually try to play.
I wonder if you can stuff a gameboy or an emulator in this…
This is so cool. She actually fitted a real GB PCB into it, it's not emulated!
Not showing up (WA)
Not showing up for me in NSW either.
It's showing up for me in Sydney
Kept on giving me errors, showing the page wasn't available.
I kept refreshing and it finally showed up. Not sure what was going on. 🤷🏽♂️
yeah Target keep excluding WA :(
Thanks OP, great discount on a new release.
Wow, those who bought can share what made them buy? Genuinely asking.
It looks cool.
Nostalgia. I had the yellow game boy as my first introduction into gaming in the 90s.
It's a great LEGO build as well. They have new parts, pressable buttons, lenticular displays, and the design is excellent as a 1:1 replica.

At $66 for 421 pieces, the price is good for a branded set too.
Thanks, ordered with the voucher.
However I got an “your order is being reviewed” email. Very odd for target.
I've been told it happens if you make too many orders consecutively.
You can either call and it gets escalated for quicker review or wait between 48 and 72 hours for the team to review.
Thanks, OP! I was puitting it off but $66 is a steal for a new set.
“Your order is awaiting review”
🤷🏻♂️
Just ordered one. Couldn't resist for $66 delivered. Thanks OP!
Kmart cancelled my order the other day now Target just cancelled mine 🙃
Waiting for aliexpress version
well, that was an incredible build. Well worth the $66 bucks.
I get it right… but I big part of me goes can’t you buy a real game boy in decent shape for this price still? 🫣
