Original Xbox Console Getting New 3,500 Piece Brick Shop Model, But Its Price Is Steep
The 3,509-piece set includes a controller, lighting effects and game-themed modules, and it sells for $330, Mattel said.
- Pre-Orders for a new 1:1-scale Xbox model are now open at Amazon, Best Buy, and Mattel Creations, allowing fans to construct their own version of the iconic console.
- The 3,509-piece interactive set features three small modules referencing Halo: Combat Evolved, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, and Psychonauts; these modules and their associated figurines can be removed and displayed separately.
- While gamers have seen classic consoles get the Lego treatment, such as the NES and Atari, this model comes from Mattel, offering a distinct approach to building vintage gaming hardware.
- The $330 set includes a controller that interacts with the dioramas to trigger 'an exclusive lighting sequence' and play the associated game's soundtrack, priced higher than the original console or Xbox Series.
- Fans can build the Xbox while sitting on an IKEA cushion; with Double Fine having recently separated from Xbox, the inclusion of Psychonauts in this set remains a notable design choice.
