This article explores an intriguing collaboration between a renowned video game company and an iconic building set producer, promising nostalgia and innovation for longtime fans.

A familiar partnership is evolving as the two companies combine forces once again. Previously, they united to create building sets inspired by classic platform adventures. Now, plans are underway for a set that celebrates the legendary controller of a beloved 16-bit console from the early 90s—a device that once rivaled its competition in a fierce market.

The excitement builds as the newly discovered design of the controller has recently surfaced online, thanks to an avid community member. Enthusiasts can view images of the unit, with the reveal scheduled for September 8. However, it appears the set "will be exclusively available as an integral component of a" larger purchase package, with a minimum spend set to approximately €130 (or around £113).

Key details include:

  • The set comprises 260 individual pieces.
  • The launch marks a continued effort between the brands to recapture and celebrate gaming history.
  • This product complements previous themed releases centered around vintage consoles.

As anticipation builds, fans remain hopeful that this partnership may pave the way for additional sets paying tribute to other classic gaming systems from earlier eras.
