LEGO PlayStation 72306 PlayStation

The LEGO PlayStation 72306 PlayStation is a near 1:1 brick replica of the original 'PS1' console and its first controller — a nostalgic display piece for adult fans of retro gaming. Officially priced at £139.99 and recommended for ages 18 and up, this 1,911-piece set is designed to sit proudly in a games room, on a shelf or on a desk.

The console has 'working' Open and Power buttons, and the controller plugs into the front just as the real machine did. Lift the lid or slide out the hidden trays and two microscale dioramas appear: Gran Turismo from 1997, with mini cars ready to race, and Ape Escape from 1999, with the option of a red or blue monkey helmet. The dioramas can stay tucked inside or be displayed separately.

Once complete, the console measures over 6 cm high, 26 cm wide and 19 cm deep. It captures the unmistakable grey silhouette of the original machine, right down to the memory-card slots and the classic controller layout, so it reads instantly as the console that defined a generation of play.

We love the mix of a satisfying technical build and those hidden game scenes, and we think it makes a standout gift for anyone who remembers the original PlayStation. The LEGO Builder app offers 3D instructions you can zoom, rotate and track as you build.
