Nintendo and Lego Unveil Teaser for Game Boy
Nintendo and Lego are teaming up once again, this time to bring fans a Lego version of the iconic Game Boy.
The announcement came with a ↳teaser trailer on Nintendo of America’s X/Twitter account, showing a handful of bricks—including the classic purple buttons and directional pad—hinting at what’s to come. No word yet on whether it comes with a version of that awkward clip-on light we all had.
While the teaser didn’t reveal the full model, fans now have an October 2025 release window to mark on their calendars.
Details on pricing, brick count, and design will be unveiled as the launch date approaches, but if past collaborations like the Lego NES are anything to go by, this is bound to be a collector’s must-have.
Heartfelt Valentine’s Day Box GWP Set Revealed
LEGO has revealed the ↳Celebration Series: Valentine’s Day Box 40759, a 172-piece set featuring a heart-shaped box adorned with a white bow, resting on a floral display stand.
Inside, builders will find chocolates, perfect for a romantic gesture or personal keepsake.
Pricing and promotional details are yet to be announced. Given LEGO’s history of seasonal gift-with-purchase sets, this will be a delightful addition to upcoming promotions.
For those looking to express their affection through creative building, this set offers a charming and customizable alternative to traditional gifts.

Bluey is a heartwarming Australian children’s show that follows the adventures of a curious and imaginative Blue Heeler puppy named Bluey, along with her family. Known for its relatable storytelling and charming humor, the series has gained a global fanbase and streams on Disney+ in the U.S.
While specific details about the sets are yet to be revealed, LEGO has teased designs featuring characters like Bluey and her sister Bingo. A full unveiling is expected in the spring.
Expect these LEGO sets to become highly sought-after by parents and collectors alike.
Taking Your LEGO Game to the Next Level
We all know official LEGO sets are great, but sometimes you need that perfect printed piece to make your scene work. You know, like a creepy digital sign for your horror MOC, or some legit-looking shipping labels when you're building out that delivery scene.
That's where our ↳custom-printed LEGO parts come in.
Each design is printed directly on genuine LEGO tiles with high-fidelity detail (yes, sometimes you need a loupe to see it all)—we're talking crisp corporate logos, perfectly weathered signage, and shipping labels that could fool a minifig.
