Overview
- Mattel publicly revealed the Mattel Brick Shop Microsoft Xbox Building Toy Kit on Aug. 19–20, 2026, and listed it for preorder at major retailers with a reported price of about $324–330 and an October 2026 release window.
- The set is a 3,509‑piece, 1:1 replica of the original Xbox that includes a full‑size 'Duke' controller with working buttons that trigger lights, game audio and the console boot sound.
- Inside the console are three removable dioramas—Halo: Combat Evolved, Psychonauts, and The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind—each built with NanoWorld figures and activated lighting and soundtrack cues by the controller.
- Mattel Brick Shop uses the same stud system as LEGO so pieces are compatible, and the release marks Brick Shop’s move beyond vehicle models with companion items such as a 1:22 Halo Warthog set.
- The kit targets nostalgia‑driven adult collectors, sits in a crowded market for premium brick models, and draws industry context because Psychonauts’ developer Double Fine recently became independent and cut staff after Microsoft layoffs.
