Have been waiting for a decent discount on this one for a while. Shipped by Amazon AU, seemed good enough to share as I think this may be the lowest its been.
Enjoy!
To those that feel the need to say its too expensive or why not just buy a real one, this clearly isn't for you and you should simply move on.
CamelCamelCamel.
Agree.
Surely a real 2600 is cheaper.
For that price might as well buy a real one.
When you flash the wrong ROMs onto your real Atari 2600 (or Flashback), you can't brick it like you can brick this one.
No E.T. cartridge, no deal ;)
Waiting on a mod to this kit to nest a Raspberry Pi in it, with a real Atari emulator.
They can run DOOM in a single brick so this is probably on someone's todo list.

I honestly don’t understand the Lego obsession. I liked Lego as a kid and don’t mind some of the engineering models they sell, but to spend hundreds of dollars on items like this - just makes no sense to me.
Feels like a surrogate for something real
Yeah it’s strange. I can’t imagine adults having rooms full of these plastic toys.

You mean like all of the other sh*t that the average middle-class consumer fills their entire house with?
Every. Single. Time… a deal for a mildly expensive Lego set is posted it will always drive at least one hysterical person to lose their sh*t over other people's hobbies while they themselves probably throw thousands down the drain on an annual basis on some equally baffling pastime like golf or alcoholism.

I have a few questions for the peeps who buy this stuff, if any of you lego-heads out there would be kind enough to respond.
Do most buyers acquire the set and never open it, and instead store it hoping it will go up in value?
If that is the case … do many of these sets ever actually go up in value?
Alternatively, do most buyers actually open it and 'build it'/'play' with it? With their kids perhaps?
If you build it, do you then 'display' it permanently in the house/cave/garage/somewhere? Or do you then break it back up and return it to the box?
Build it, display it, that’s what it for. Bit of a waste having it sit in storage for years. That being said I have quite a few just sitting in the garage unopened as I don’t get a lot of time to build them.
If I get sick of it either break it up and store away for kids or resale. I try to keep boxes/instructions just in case for resale value.
Thanks mate! Been looking for this one ever since it came out at a good price. Snapped it up straight away.
