SEGA Genesis console gets the LEGO treatment

LEGO has teamed up with SEGA to launch a LEGO SEGA Genesis Console set.

The model allows builders to customise their creation into either the SEGA Genesis or SEGA Mega Drive version, complete with detachable controllers and decorative stickers.

“Like many others from my generation, I still vividly remember when the SEGA Mega Drive launched – it felt completely out of this world,” said Patrik, Designer at the LEGO Group.

“27 years later the love for the console is still going strong – I still play mine! Recreating the intricate details and curves of the console with LEGO elements was an enjoyable challenge, despite its difficulty.”

Alex Gomez, VP, Licensing & Partnerships of SEGA of America, Inc, added: “We feel that this is a building experience that captures both SEGA’s heritage of gaming and the playful creativity of LEGO play.

“The SEGA Genesis holds a special place in the hearts of gamers and represents a defining era in video game history. With this new LEGO set, fans are not only able to relive those nostalgic memories but also actively engage with SEGA’s legacy through hands-on creativity.”

The LEGO SEGA Genesis Consolewill be available from June 1st.
