LEGO Adds Game Boy To It’s Console List

Nintendo and LEGO have once again joined forces to announce a brand new, at least in brick form, console! The LEGO Game Boy was teased last night across social media. And whilst it may not be the Switch 2 annoucement people have been hoping for, it is certainly not unwelcome news! Gimme Gimme Gimme I can't be the only one surprised that the LEGO Game Boy is the latest addition to the console sets. With retro gaming icons such as the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System and the LEGO Atari 2600 having been previously released. I was expecting another home console to join the series. Hell, even the LEGO PAC-MAN Arcade, feels less left field then this annoucement. However, I can why such a jump would happen. Afterall we can't have every home console in brick form. Can we? Apparently not. Besid...

Back in July, we covered the exciting news that LEGO and Fortnite were bringing their collab outside of the virtual world and into the hands of brick lovers everywhere. As an avid Fortnite player and LEGO collector these sets made my little gamer's heart jump for joy. At least that's what I'm telling myself that's what those palpitations were. One set in particular immediately went on our must-have list. Ok, ok, one set in particular went to the top of our must-have list. This was of course the LEGO Fortnite Peely Bone set.
