You Have Another Chance to Snag The Atari 2600 Lego Set For Cheap

If you missed out on Lego Atari 2600 deal earlier this month at Amazon and Target, you now have another chance to save big on this awesome retro gaming building set. Walmart has slashed the price of the 2,532-piece Atari 2600 Lego Icons Set to $150 (was $240). It’s not quite as good of a deal–it was briefly available for $135 at Amazon–but this is still likely to sell out pretty fast.

This is a great set for experienced builders. Once you’ve assembled it, you’ll have a replica console with functioning switches, a brick-built Atari joystick designed to move like the original controller, and even several cartridges to display.

It’s worth pointing out that this is an Atari console in looks only, but the other retro surprise includes a hidden gaming room straight out of the ’80s. This a small diorama and includes small details like a retro landline phone, TV, posters, and a boom box.

The buildable cartridges are also based on real games like Asteroids, Centipede, and Adventure. The cartridges can be stored in a case and built into mini 3D vignette versions of the games. Finally, the console includes a switch to toggle for color or black-and-white television sets.

The Atari 2600 is the most affordable of the three Lego sets celebrating retro video game hardware. The Nintendo Entertainment System and Pac-Man Arcade kits very rarely budge from their $270 price points. The Lego NES, meanwhile, is often sold out at major retailers, including now, but you can get it at the Lego Store.
