LEGO PlayStation Images Leak, Revealing Some Incredible PS1 Easter Eggs

Leaked photos have revealed an impressive LEGO recreation of Sony's retro PlayStation console, complete with several brilliant Easter eggs. Earlier this year, product listing leaks had hinted at a LEGO PlayStation console arriving in October. With a month left until its release, the first images of the set have now surfaced.

Reputable LEGO source Brick Tap shared images of the set's box, allegedly discovered in a LEGO store. The release date of the official set remains uncertain, but an official announcement could come during Sony's upcoming State of Play broadcast, set to stream online at 9am Eastern time on September 3. The LEGO PlayStation set is expected to feature 1,911 pieces and a price tag of $160. Additionally, there will be an Astrobot gift with purchase, available while supplies last.

Although no images of the Astrobot add-on are available yet, the main set's box showcases the LEGO console and controller. The LEGO elements artfully recreate the DualShock console's iconic Square, Triangle, Circle, and Cross buttons. Notably, the controller can also connect to the console's front. The console itself boasts the PS1's flip-up disc tray, while its sides reveal miniature recreations of scenes from Ape Escape and Gran Turismo.

This detail is reminiscent of the Easter eggs found in LEGO's Nintendo series, such as the hidden 1-UP block in its Super Mario sets.

It is highly likely that Sony and LEGO will announce the set's official release soon, adding to the growing collection of retro console builds, including the Nintendo Entertainment System. With LEGO's latest refreshed range of Super Mario sets now featuring the first Nintendo minifigures, fans eagerly await the LEGO PlayStation addition to their gaming LEGO collections.
