Overview
- Sony and The LEGO Group announced the set on Thursday during PlayStation’s State of Play, making official a product that leaked in images and in‑store sightings earlier this week.
- The kit (product number 72306) is 1,911 pieces and measures close to the original console’s size while including a brick-built controller that plugs into the front and functioning Power and Open buttons.
- Hidden under the lid are two removable dioramas that pay homage to Gran Turismo and Ape Escape with small, customizable elements such as a miniature racetrack and a swappable helmet light.
- Price and rollout were confirmed: US $179.99 (€159.99/£139.99), available via PlayStation Direct on October 1 with LEGO Insiders early access and general LEGO store/online sales beginning October 4 in select regions.
- Earlier leaks accurately reported design and timing but the official reveal corrected pricing and confirmed that a previously rumored free Astro Bot gift‑with‑purchase will not be part of the announced launch; collectors should expect strong demand and limited promos that could spur resale pressure.
