If you’re nostalgic for the Atari era, the Lego Atari 2600 is an extremely cool building kit that accurately recreates the unique design of the iconic console. Normally $240, the Lego Atari 2600 is currently on sale for only $144 on the Lego Store, which is the lowest price ever by more than $20. Amazon is now matching the Lego Store’s deal. The set was sold out at Amazon yesterday (July 16), so we don’t expect this deal to stick around for long.
You’ll find many different deals on the Lego Store right now, including The Little Mermaid Royal Clamshell for $48 off, The Avengers Quinjet for $30 off, the Adventures with Peach Starter Course for $18 off, and more.
This is a great set for that rainy afternoon, as there are over 2,500 pieces in the box. 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.
Here’s a quick look at some of the best Lego deals at Amazon for Prime Day. Keep in mind that some of these deals will sell out before the sale ends.
