Do you love video games? Did you play Super Mario Bros. back in the day? Or do you just enjoy a hands-on, creative activity in your spare time? If so, this nostalgic LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) model kit is perfect for you.

Authentic and interactive

The brick-built NES is packed with realistic details, including an opening slot for the Game Pak with a locking function and a controller with a connecting cable and plug. The console comes with a buildable retro TV, featuring a flat 8-bit Mario figure on the scrolling screen, plus an action brick to scan with LEGO Mario (figure not included; find in the LEGO Super Mario Starter Course set 71360) so he reacts to the on-screen enemies, obstacles and power-ups just like in the Super Mario Bros. game.

    Unfortunately doesn't stack with any eBay coupon code.

      Looks like you've made an error in your revision - ebay, not Amazon.

    The "retro" TV doesn't really match the era of the NES. By the time the NES came out in late 1985 in the US (1987 here), TVs didn't look like that anymore. I just had a look through a 1986 US Sears catalog and of all the TVs sold, I could only find 1 (a cheap 13" set) that still had the old school knobs on the front, as opposed to the push button/digital display.

      Usually you would own your TV before you bought a NES. I definitely gamed on a similar looking television

        Agree, this was pretty much the exact same TV we had with the NES

      Yeah but people didn't update TVs back then as much as they do now.
      Trust me, I played NES on an old late 70s/early 80s TV with knobs for yeeeeeeeeeears.

        Fair point, but by the same measure, not everyone got a NES the exact year they came out either. Did people still have such an old TV in 1988/89/90 etc.

          Yes…

          A lot of people did. TVs were a lot more expensive back then so people hung onto them a lot longer, unlike today where they have become more disposal

          • Mr Bob Dobalina on 28/05/2021 - 00:56

            @Scope: That's true, and the NES's were often hooked up to spare TVs in bedrooms and such, which were often older than the main TV in the living room. I knew someone who's family had an one of those old school wooden box TVs until 2001! As for TVs being more expensive back then, high end TVs today are actually more than they were in the past. i.e. there were no $7,000+ TVs back in the 70s/80s.

              @Mr Bob Dobalina: Just commenting on your ‘price of TV’s note’ - keep in mind 7000 dollars today is not 7000 dollars from the 70’s.. i.e a yearly wage was averaging $7600 in 1975. TV’s were absolutely expensive.

            Really? Since when? Sure TV's are cheaper due to competition but that because the brands and quality being delivered are crap. Im still using my 46" 1080p LCD (not even LED) Sony Bravia from 2009 as my primary TV and its still going strong. Im only going to be upgrading now because we've purchased an Xbox Series X, but will continue to use the Bravia in another room. I earn well but dont go out buying stuff just because I can afford it. Not to mention, none of my family and friends are buying TV's regularly either.

              @Trishool: Since the price of TVs have come down a lot, people today just dispose of their TV when it stops working whereas back then, people would call in the electrician to repair it. Also, you have people upgrading TVs and disposing of their old one. Back then, people never upgraded their TVs until it became unfixable

          I had a TV like that well into
          the 90’s… here’s why.. There were two TV’s in the house in main rooms, but I played game systems in my own room.. I got the hand me down TV, which pretty much was the same story for every single one of my friends. So yes. Super common.

  • ozbjunkie on 28/05/2021 - 01:35

    Had almost the same tv at my grandpa's place up until 2010. It was like a time capsule.

    If you are looking to collect/sell, the box condition from Myers isn't great, big dent on the back from where the anti theft thing is

    • ShrewdOrJustTight on 28/05/2021 - 13:26

      Have noticed that for their products in store. Hoping they ship ebay/online orders from a warehouse instead of taking it off their floor store.

      • MeesusEff on 28/05/2021 - 13:47

        From memory, they just use the closest store that has it in stock and ship it from there

  • abc on 28/05/2021 - 09:51

    Anyone think this will get cheaper? Given the comment above about condition if would demand a further price reduction.
