An enterprising nerd has taken LEGO’s new Game Boy creation, performed some suitably geeky magic, and turned it into a real Game Boy. LEGO has a bit of history when it comes to Nintendo hardware. The now-retired Nintendo Entertainment System set is a particular favorite of this writer, and yes, I popped a Raspberry Pi into the console and an …

When Lego announced its near 1:1, 421-piece Nintendo Game Boy set I wrote that it was charming, but “sadly not playable.” Now that it has started shipping (as of yesterday), creator Natalie the Nerd proved me 100 percent wrong.

Hello, fellow adults! May I interest you in an interlocking brick system designed to mimic your favorite racing automobile? Yes, this is about Lego Technic F1 sets, which you might (incorrectly) think are child’s toys. The website clearly states they are for ages 18+. Lest you think I’m being snarky, not only have I …

When Amber Meade twisted her ankle and broke a bone in her foot, she expected recovery to be easy. She needed surgery to shave down the damaged bone and make sure the nerves and tendons in her foot were where they should be. The procedure seemed to go smoothly, but in the weeks that followed, she began to feel debilitating …

We got you an early sneak peek at just one of Lego’s new reveals for San Diego Comic-Con last night, but the brickmaker took to the convention floor to kick off SDCC 2025 in style with even more reveals.

The 421-piece model is a “brick-built replica of the original Game Boy” and has buttons you can press, including the +Control Pad, A and B buttons and Select and Start — though you can’t play games on it, obviously. It even comes with brick replicas of Legend …
