Seeing how LEGO has been pushing out quite a number of nostalgia-fueled retro gaming consoles in recent years, such as the Nintendo Entertainment System and Atar 2600, and with the LEGO 72046 Nintendo Game Boy Set coming on 1 October, it was only a matter of time before SEGA joined the party. But instead of a Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) console set, it looks like we’ll be getting a LEGO 40769 SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive Controller first.
The 260-piece retro gaming controller set features a microscale “Green Hill Zone” scene from Sonic the Hedgehog on the inside, offering two ways to display the set, on a display stand. The set also includes regional stickers for fans to customise the controller as “SEGA Genesis” (for US) or “SEGA Mega Drive” (for rest of the world). We’re betting on a SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive console set release to follow shortly, mark our words.
The LEGO 40769 SEGA Genesis / Mega Drive Controller will be available from 8 to 27 September as a Gift-With-Purchase with a minimum spend of S$190 on LEGO sets purchased at LEGO Certified Stores in Singapore.
