In March, rumors circulated about a collaboration between LEGO and PlayStation. Recently, the fruits of that partnership were formally announced, unveiled as an official LEGO set embodying the first-generation PlayStation console along with a controller from the era. This set also includes nods to two games playable on the original console, details of which will follow.
The LEGO PlayStation set is constructed from 1,911 pieces, a figure less ambitious than those for the LEGO NES and Atari 2600 sets but still impressive. Once assembled, the assembled set will be an almost exact replica of the original console in terms of size. The replica also boasts functioning mechanisms for the console's Power and Open buttons.
However, the company has not detailed the purpose of the Power button in the brick form of the console. On the backside of the set, concealed in the sides, are representations of both Gran Turismo and Ape Escape. Gran Turismo features a miniature diorama of a racetrack complete with scaled-down cars, while Ape Escape is depicted as a "nostalgic island scene" that also includes a swappable blue or red light on the monkey's helmet.
While there is currently no PlayStation Blog post specifically for Southeast Asia detailing the price for the regional market, the Malaysian page for the LEGO online store already lists the set. It is priced at RM699 and will be available for purchase starting October 4th.
