Lego honours the 50th anniversary of the Atari 2600 with this new set. Instead of the 1977 console, it brings to life the 1980 revision through a new Lego set with 2,352 pieces. It'll be available on August 1 for US$239.99 (around CA$310). This model includes a controller with a movable joystick and three game cartridges that fit into the Lego console. Those classic games are Asteroid, Adventure, and Centipede. Three external dioramas show off blocky recreations of the games. And if you open up the console, there's even a diorama of a 1980s living room. If you want to bring that nostalgia into your life, you might want to get your hands on one of these.
