But according to an Instagram account that Video Games Chronicle says has a reliable track record for sharing accurate details about new sets before Lego does, the brick-built Game Boy will sell for $59.99 when it launches on October 1st, and will include 421 pieces.Falconbricks Studios shared the details on Instagram earlier today, including the set number 72046 that matches earlier leaks, but pricing that’s slightly cheaper than what has been anticipated.However, $59.99 for 421 pieces — which works out to about 14 cents per brick — makes this upcoming set one of the more expensive Nintendo and Lego collaborations. The $129.99 Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi set, released last October, came out to about 11 cents per brick, while the blocky Nintendo Entertainment System, which is now priced at $269.99, still works out to about 10 cents per brick. Non-themed sets, like the recently released $59.99 Medieval Dragon, sell for about eight cents per brick.The Lego Game Boy will likely be the second most anticipated Nintendo handheld this year, following the official reveal of the Switch 2 last month. But we won’t know how much Nintendo’s flagship console will cost, or when it will be released, until the Switch 2 Nintendo Direct presentation on April 2nd.A weekly newsletter by David Pierce designed to tell you everything you need to download, watch, read, listen to, and explore that fits in The Verge’s universe.© 2025 Vox Media, LLC.
