The throwback of all throwbacks has finally arrived: the Lego Nintendo Game Boy is officially back in stock.

As though that isn't enough to see you make a beeline for the checkout, the Lego Game Boy even comes with two Lego cartridge games, The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening or Super Mario Land, that feature swappable screens.
The best part? You'll have to build the gadget from the 421 Lego bricks provided and once complete, you can proudly display the Game Boy on its stand at home (you just need to build that first, too).
First introduced in 1989, the Game Boy was created in Japan, and has since sold over 100 million units around the globe. It introduced fans to a whole new world of gaming, enabling them to play their favourite games such as Tetris and Pokémon on the move for the first time.
