The Retro Mario Game Building Set by LEGO lets you recreate and relive the excitement of 1980s gaming nostalgia with a buildable NES console and interactive TV display. Combining craftsmanship and playability, this set is a must-have for LEGO enthusiasts and Super Mario Bros. fans alike.
Authentic 1980s NES Console
The NES console, iconic in the world of gaming, is brought to life in LEGO form. Complete with a buildable controller, Game Pak, and opening slot, the 2,646-piece set authentically captures the retro gaming console’s design. Fans will love the attention to detail, from the cable and plug connecting the console to the TV, to the realistic channel knob and the satisfying locking function on the cartridge slot.
Interactive 1980s-Style TV Display
At the heart of the experience is the interactive TV set, which displays a scene from the classic Super Mario Bros. game. The handle-operated scrolling screen allows players to watch as LEGO Mario (sold separately) interacts with enemies, obstacles, and power-ups. When combined with the LEGO Super Mario Adventures Starter Course (71360), placing the LEGO Mario figure on top of the TV screen activates the set’s full range of interactive features. As Mario “moves” through the course, he reacts in real-time to the on-screen elements, making this more than just a display piece—it’s an immersive play experience.
A Masterpiece for Display
Once complete, the set offers a stunning display piece for any gaming or LEGO collection. Measuring 8” high, 9” wide, and 6” deep, the buildable TV, combined with the NES console, makes a perfect centerpiece. Whether displayed on a shelf or in a game room, it’s sure to catch the eye of both LEGO builders and retro gaming fans alike.
Learn and Build
The set includes an illustrated booklet that offers insight into the creation of both the Nintendo Entertainment System and classic NES games. Alongside the step-by-step easy-to-follow instructions, this booklet adds an educational element to the building process, taking you on a journey through the history of gaming.
More Than Just Nostalgia
Though nostalgic, the LEGO NES set is anything but dated. It combines the joy of classic Super Mario Bros. gameplay with modern interactive features, offering a blend of retro and innovative design. Whether you’re a longtime Mario fan or a LEGO enthusiast, this set offers a satisfying and engaging build with endless potential for play and display.
