This was my first official Lego build and loved every second of it. Building the gameboy was fun at every click and seeing the GB come together was fantastic. I was very impressed with the final product. The look ,the feel , Lego nailed it with this one!

This was a very relaxing build, the finished Gameboy looks just like the original from decades ago. Love the unique way that tires were used to create the start and select buttons and am thankful that Lego used printed pieces with minimal decals for this build.

The nostalgia worked on me. I loved my Gameboy and this brought back all the feels. The internal details that no one but the builder will ever see are what made it amazing for me.

This is by far the best Lego set I have ever put together. No lie. This set is perfection. The build process is pure fun and the finished product is a joy to behold and to be held. The only thing that could have possibly made this set better would have been if there were more choices for the stickers for the cartridges. Tetris would have been a great inclusion. Nintendo released the Gameboy Color handheld system in multiple colors. I love this set so much that if Lego were to release this set in multiple colors, I'd buy every one of them. I hope the next Nintendo console set is the SNES, and it comes with a Super Gameboy cartridge that is compatible with the cartridges in this set. That would be totally awesome!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Classic Game Boy LEGO set is a win for LEGO builders and retro gaming fans. The set includes labeled bags, and everything you need is in one instruction manual. No app required, keeping the build old-school, just like the original Game Boy. My LEGO-fan son built it in a few hours while watching a movie. Experienced builders will find the process smooth, satisfying, and enjoyable, with enough detail to stay engaging. It’s better suited as a display piece than a quick set. The finished model looks a lot like the classic handheld Game Boy size, so it’s a great piece for anyone feeling nostalgic. What makes this set special is the attention to detail. The on/off switch, volume dial, and buttons all move, which gives it an authentic feel like the real console. Even though you can’t play games on it, it’s very satisfying to look at and hold. This set is perfect for those who love LEGO, retro gaming, or both. Whether you’re buying it as a gift or adding it to your own collection, it’s an eye-catching display piece that sparks conversation and nostalgia. Highly recommended for any LEGO and video game enthusiast.

I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face as I watched how the build came along from when the Nintendo GameBoy title was added to each part. I love the interaction of the buttons and the games. I put this together with both my son and daughter. This will be such a fun piece for my office and a great talking point. So many fun memories with this game system and to see the attention to detail and 1 to 1 scale was fun!

The LEGO Nintendo Game Boy (Set 72046) is more than a nostalgic recreation, it’s a faithful monument to one of the most recognizable devices of the late 20th century. At 421 pieces, it captures the Game Boy’s proportions and texture with remarkable precision, from the muted gray casing and magenta buttons to the subtle curvature of the shell. LEGO’s layering technique mimics how the real handheld was constructed front plate, internals, and screen giving the build a satisfying sense of authenticity. The tactile process of assembling it mirrors the same deliberate, patient rhythm that once defined handheld gaming itself. For anyone who grew up borrowing a sibling’s Game Boy, this build feels deeply personal. The act of clicking the D-pad into place or slotting in the miniature cartridges The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and Super Mario Land sparks muscle memory. The result is both sculpture and time capsule, blending the physical feel of LEGO with the emotional charge of retro gaming. The subtle screen tint, minimal sticker use, and iconic “Dot Matrix with Stereo Sound” text elevate the model from novelty to art piece, proving that nostalgia and design precision can coexist without compromise. Displayed on its stand, the LEGO Game Boy commands quiet respect. It doesn’t rely on lights or sound to impress; its realism does the work. Each angle evokes a different era of play; car rides, late nights, and shared cartridges traded between siblings. For builders, collectors, or lifelong Nintendo fans, it represents a rare convergence of childhood memory and modern craftsmanship. LEGO distilled an entire generation’s gaming history into one handheld model, and the result is as emotionally powerful as it is technically accomplished.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My teenaged absolutely loves this lego. He spent about an hour to build it with lots of concentration. He was really happy to build and play with it. It looks amazing and he loves to use it as a decor for his gaming desk. Such a cool product for teenagers.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so glad that I got the opportunity to try out the Lego Game Boy. My daughter is working on it as I am writing the review. The setup is fun. The pieces are easy to put together. The Lego brand is a staple in my family. I love that this brand is made for the whole family. I will definitely recommend this to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Such a cool set! I love the nostalgia that this set brings back. My son is a huge Lego fan, and I can’t wait for him to build this one. I love that even though he doesn’t know what a GameBoy is, he can get the full experience with building this one. The cards that mimic the cartridge games are so cool, I love that it looks like an actual screen. Lego outdid theirselves with this set!
