Retired Lego Atari 2600 is back on Amazon, but maybe not long

After selling out earlier this year, Amazon has added the discontinued Atari 2600 Lego package. We suspect that these LEGOs were excavated from the massive Atari burial site in New Mexico, because unlike ET video games, the Atari 2600 Lego set is great, but interestingly, Amazon has available units. Amazon is charging the original $240 MSRP for this 2,532-piece set, which is also pretty good. Lego retired the Atari 2600 last December, and most retailers were sold out throughout the year.

Earlier this year, Amazon restocked Retired LEGO Nintendo Entertainment Systembut Retailers charge more than $60 for retailers– This $330 price sounds like a deal compared to today's dealer prices. Immediately Lego game boy's launch This led to the NES selling out, so we wouldn't be surprised if the Atari 2600 building set disappeared quickly (again).

$240 | Discontinued in December 2024

The Atari 2600 is part of the LEGO Icon Series Display Edition for adults and experienced builders. Lego is based on the original version and the model after the most popular classic console, so it has artificial wood boards on the front.

Four switches – two on both sides – features and mimic the original settings: power, TV type, game selection, game reset. You will also build a small game room on a CRT TV with mini-play asteroids. Diorama also includes other era-friendly details such as landline phones, boom boxes and retro posters. The vignette shown on the console shown in the image above flips over while pushing the front panel.

In addition to the console itself, you can also plug a replica of the CX40 joystick on the back of the system with a cable. You will also combine three Atari 2600 gaming cartridges: Adventure, Cent and Asteroids, and a miniature diorama for each game.
