What is the LEGO PlayStation UK release date?
The LEGO PlayStation officially goes on sale today (Sunday 4 October). The set was previously available for pre-order for LEGO Insiders from 1 October.
How much does the LEGO PlayStation cost?
The LEGO PlayStation costs £139.99.
In comparison to other consoles LEGO has recreated, including the SEGA Mega Drive which retails for £34.99 and Nintendo’s Game Boy which retails at £54.99, the price is certainly steeper.
However, due to the number of pieces and detail, this price range makes sense, especially considering the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System was £209.99 on launch.
What's included in the LEGO PlayStation Set?
In terms of bricks, the set will be made up of a total of 1,911 pieces and will measure 10.5 inches / 26 cm wide when completed.
Alongside the console, the set opens up to show models of two legendary games: Gran Turismo released in 1997, and Ape Escape, released in 1999. Each diorama is customisable – the Gran Turismo diorama is a tiny race track with miniature cars, while the Ape Escape diorama is an island with a choice of a blue or red light on the monkey’s helmet.
Owners of the set will have the option to remove both game dioramas so that they can be displayed separately.
The set also has functional features, including a controller that actually plugs in to the console and interactive Power and Open buttons.
For now you can buy the PlayStation exclusively at LEGO and in LEGO UK stores.
However, you can often find other LEGO sets at Currys and Very.
