$229....  for that, I would have hoped it actually played NES games. There's plenty of room in there for an NES Mini board. 

Oh well.

LEGOs are expensive, yo. That kit is 2,600 bricks, meaning the price per brick works out to about par with anything from LEGO. ?

It's pretty cool that they're doing this at all though. I mean, would we rather have no retro Lego? ? BTW I'm pretty sure this is the work of Chris McVeigh. He made the mini Lego C64 that inspired my full-size Lego C64; The Brixty Four. Some time after my videos came out he was hired by Lego and moved to Denmark. I'm going to guess this was the result of that. Good for him! (My bags are packed and by the door...)
