LEGO has officially revealed an Atari 2600 set, and it's coming in August.
LEGO has officially announced a new video game console set: the LEGO Atari 2600. While this marks the official reveal of the set, it actually leaked online earlier this year. The set is a recreation of the iconic Atari 2600 console complete with LEGO cartridges, a LEGO joystick, and more. More specifically, it's based on the four-switch revision of the Atari 2600 from 1980. The new LEGO Atari 2600 set is scheduled to release on August 1st for $239.
The set comes with LEGO versions of classic Atari video games Asteroids, Adventure, and Centipede. Little 3D recreations of 2D screens from the video games can also be built out of them. There's also a special little pop-up scene in the middle of the LEGO console that recreates the experience of playing an Atari 2600 at home in miniature.
