Lego didn\u2019t need to go this hard when it made this 2,532-piece Atari 2600 set<\/a> in honor of the game company\u2019s 50th anniversary, but we\u2019re very happy that it did. And right now, this Lego Atari 2600 tribute is on sale at Best Buy<\/a> for $167.99 (was $239.99), which is one of the lowest prices we\u2019ve seen since the set\u2019s debut last year.<\/p>\n

It would\u2019ve been great enough just to remake the console itself, with its intricate wood and plastic paneling, switchboard, and joystick. But Lego went even further for this set, throwing in three diorama scenes in honor of the classic games Adventure<\/em>, Asteroids<\/em>, and Centipede<\/em> \u2014 each of which is also represented as a replica cartridge. There\u2019s also a \u201chidden\u201d diorama within the console itself that channels a 1980s living room. The attention to detail here is phenomenal, and makes for a great display.<\/p>\n

All that\u2019s missing is a Lego CRT screen \u2014\u00a0which actually does<\/em> exist, albeit as part of the Lego NES set<\/a> (not currently on sale, alas). And if you\u2019re looking for a working<\/em> Atari, may we suggest the Atari 2600+<\/a> or upcoming<\/a> Atari 7800+<\/a>, both of which are HDMI-ready and can play existing cartridges.<\/p>\n
