    Nostalgia bait is winning as I’m about to buy this discounted Lego Game Boy on Prime Day


    Lego has launched sets based on the Millennium Falcon, the DeLorean, and the Hogwarts Castle – and while all of these pop culture icons crossed my path during childhood, I’ve never been tempted to invest in a brick-based equivalent. I think I’m dangerously close to falling foul of the nostalgia bait this time, though, as this Lego Game Boy has my name all over it – especially at such a tempting price of £49.99 on Amazon.

    The Lego Game Boy isn’t even a part of the retailer’s latest Prime Big Deal Days sale, but by using the promo code ‘FD22271A’, you can save £5 off the full price. A small saving, sure, but an entirely welcome one that brings the already reasonably affordable set to an even more wallet-friendly price.

    I’m sure the true Lego-heads will have scathing remarks to say about the cost per brick of this 421-piece set, but just look at it. It’s a charming 1:1 representation of the original Game Boy that I spent countless hours playing in my younger days.

    It even includes two Game Paks for Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, and a customisable screen for a sharp hit of nostalgia straight to the brain.

    I know I’m a sucker for falling for this, especially when I have an actual Game Boy Advance SP and a copy of Link’s Awakening DX I can actually play, but it’s clearly a cool little item. One that I – and many retro gaming fans – would surely love to own.
