The LEGO Gameboy set contains 421 pieces, offering fans a fully buildable Gameboy model that’s true to life size — approximately 14 cm (5.5 in) long and 9 cm (3.5 in) wide. It’s designed to closely mimic the original Game Boy from the late ’80s and ’90s.

From the iconic D-pad, A & B buttons, Start/Select, to a volume dial, headphone jack, and contrast control — every detail has been crafted with precision. Even the external link cable port is represented using a clever LEGO ingot tile.

Lenticular Screens and Game Cartridges Included

What truly makes the LEGO Game Boy shine is the inclusion of two brick-built game cartridges:

• The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

• Super Mario Land

These aren’t just for show. They’re paired with lenticular screen tiles — special pieces that visually shift when tilted, simulating real gameplay screens and the nostalgic Nintendo startup.

On-Point Details for Hardcore Fans

Other printed elements include:

• The “Nintendo Game Boy” logo

• Power switch and dot matrix with stereo sound label

• Speaker grill, serial number, and battery pack

Two mini display stands are also included — one for the console, one for the cartridges — making this a perfect shelf piece for collectors.
