The LEGO version of the iconic Atari VCS 2600 is based on the four-switch version that debuted in 1980.
From unpacking to adding the last brick (2532 pieces), the LEGO Atari Video Computer System adult building set is a one-of-a-kind experience. Builders and gamers alike will love sliding across the façade and discovering the 1980s gaming hall pop-up scene, rekindling memories of hours spent trying to score high. The set also includes three iconic Atari video game cartridges in brick format. They can be stored in a case and turned into miniature versions of games. In addition, the console includes a switch to select color or black and white depending on your TV.
“The Atari 2600 was one of the most memorable gifts I received as a child. I remember sitting in front of the TV for hours, completely amazed that I could play arcade games at home. There were so many legendary games like Asteroids, Adventure and Centipede,” says Chris McVey, creative director of the Atari Video Computer System Icons 10306 set. “That’s why it was an amazing experience to combine two icons, Atari and LEGO, in this amazing set. We hope that the creation of this classic console will take you back to those golden days, when a few pixels meant a whole world of adventure.”
