Description:
This 479-piece kit is a '90s gaming delight, complete with stickers, 
controllers, and removable game cards.

FULL STORY
Lego's old-school offerings
have always been strong, but today's new launch is a particular delight for 
retro gamers. It's based on a worldwide gaming icon: the SEGA Genesis 
console. Or, if you prefer, a SEGA Megadrive. Lego has niftily got around the 
dual-naming issue by making a set that can be either a Megadrive (the name in 
Europe and Japan) or the Genesis (as it was called in North America). 

As you'd expect from Lego, that's not where the customization ends. The set 
comes with detachable, brick-built controllers, a game card you can take in 
and out, and stickers for the authentic teen personalization experience. The 
SEGA Genesis set is available to buy from today, priced at 34.99 / $39.99. 
"The SEGA Genesis holds a special place in the hearts of gamers and 
represents a defining era in video game history," comments Lego's Alex Gomez. 
"With this new LEGO set, fans are not only able to relive those nostalgic 
memories, but also actively engage with SEGA's legacy through hands-on 
creativity.
