The LEGO Super Mario Game Boy set is an absolute masterpiece for anyone who grew up with Nintendo or just loves clever LEGO builds. From the moment I opened the box, I could tell this wasn’t just another set—it’s a full-on nostalgia trip mixed with incredible attention to detail. The build itself is super satisfying. The designers nailed the look of the classic Game Boy, from the iconic D-pad and buttons to the cartridge slot in the back. And the best part? The tiny Super Mario “screen” that brings the whole thing to life. It feels like holding a piece of gaming history—but built from bricks. The display looks fantastic on a shelf, and it’s a guaranteed conversation starter. Even friends who aren’t LEGO fans are blown away when they see it. If you love Nintendo, Mario, retro gaming, or just beautifully designed LEGO sets, this one is an easy must-have. It captures the magic of the original Game Boy perfectly and delivers one of the most enjoyable builds I’ve done in a long time. Highly recommended! Read more

As a lifelong Nintendo fan, this LEGO Super Mario Game Boy set instantly caught my eye — and it’s even better in person. The build is incredibly detailed, from the buttons and screen layout to the cartridge slot and printed bricks that recreate the original look of the Game Boy. Assembly took me about two hours while enjoying the process — every step is clear and well thought out. The way LEGO designed the internal layers and color transitions shows how much care went into this model. Once finished, it feels sturdy enough to display, and the size is perfect for a desk or shelf setup. The nostalgic factor is off the charts: it brings back childhood memories but also feels modern thanks to the Super Mario references built into the design. It’s clearly aimed at adult builders and collectors, and it delivers exactly what you’d expect — a premium, conversation-starting display piece. If you love LEGO or grew up playing Game Boy, this set is a must-have tribute to gaming history. Read more

I haven't touched a Lego set since the early 90s but this one got my nostalgia going so I got one and put it together. I don't remember them having this level of detail, the game carts have their circuit boards, Zelda has a battery? Everything about it was a great experience. The step by step instructions, the parts separated into bags for each step... Great product. Read more

Incredible build on this set. Lego really knocked it out of the park with this set. First, the design harkens back to the original 1989 Gameboy, it’s almost a like-for-like in dimensions and size. The color scheme is great, the use of printed pieces over stickers is a great detail (note: there are some stickers in this set). Second, the attention to detail in this set, with two game cartridges and replaceable screens adds a great retro vibe. The stand makes it a great addition to an office decor. The inclusion of one of my all time favorite games (Zelda: Links Awakening) was a <chefs kiss> perfect, bravo Lego! As someone who grew up with the original Gameboy and an adult fan of Lego (AFOL), this was an immediate purchase. One of the best part of this set is the price, it seems that so many Lego sets these days are over $100, especially licensed ones. And at $60 this set is a “must buy” in my opinion and one of the best sets released this year or even in the past few years. Don’t wait on it! Read more

Absolute genius. Every single detail of the Gameboy is meticulously thought out and built using some of the most creative building techniques I've ever seen in a Lego set. Being able to cram so much into such a small package should be awarded with a metal. Every piece on the game boy itself is printed and the only stickers in the set are the stickers used for the game cards. Even these two stickers themselves feel high quality. Every button and every switch works. And it fits in my hand just like the original game boy did when I was a kid. No missing pieces, no complaints, the price is pretty good for what you get. Less about how many bricks you get for your buck, more about how much fun and how well it looks on display this build is. This is one of the only Lego sets I've ever finished building and considered taking apart or just plain buying another one to do it again. Read more

The build quality and details are amazing. The dpad and AB buttons are both functional and have a nice feel. The contrast and volume knows are even functional. The hologram inserts for the screen are nice and high quality. Every single detail of this thing is awesome. The Zelda cart even has a memory battery despite basically never being seen! Read more
