Preorders for the 421-piece Lego Game Boy set have repeatedly sold out at major retailers, with Amazon's preorders recently selling out after being the only retailer to offer uninterrupted preorders through August. Walmart and the Lego Store are currently restocked at $60. The set launches October 1, timed for the holiday shopping season. Reserving a copy is recommended because stock shortages have occurred at several retailers and some preorders have not returned. The brick-built model matches the original handheld's size, includes a buildable stand and replica Game Paks, and accepts cartridges for Super Mario Land and Link's Awakening. The kit targets adult collectors and is among the most affordable Lego Nintendo display models.
In the latest sign that Lego may not be able to keep up with demand for its 421-piece Game Boy building set, preorders have sold out at Amazon. Up until now, Amazon was the only retailer to offer uninterrupted preorders throughout August. Other major retailers and the Lego Store have sold out multiple times since preorders opened in late July. The good news? The Lego Game Boy is back in stock at Walmart and the Lego Store for $60.
Lego Game Boy (72046) The brick-built Game Boy is almost exactly the same size as the handheld that quickly became a worldwide sensation when it hit store shelves in Japan and North America in 1989. This looks like an awesome display piece, and retro Nintendo fans are sure to appreciate the nostalgic interactive elements. Part of Lego's display model series geared toward adult builders and collectors, the Game Boy building kit was teased in January and fully unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
