The only difference this time around? You'll need to build it from the 421 Lego pieces provided. Once complete, there's a buildable stand to proudly display the device for all to admire.
First introduced in 1989, the Game Boy was created in Japan, and has since sold over 100 million units worldwide. A new dimension of gaming, it enabled fans the freedom to play their favourite games, think Tetris and Pokémon, on the move for the very first time.

As mentioned above, the Nintendo Game Boy sold out instantly after it dropped online, and has only just come back in stock. At the time of writing, you can now pre-order the Game Boy on Amazon for £54.99.
