Today I’m toying with the Lego Game Boy and comparing it to OG.

The brick version is even better than I imagined: an incredibly faithful, fun, and clever build. You can press every button, spin every wheel; designers nail the curves and recreate almost every label. For 48atCostco(in−person)or48 at Costco (in-person) or 48atCostco(in−person)or60 at Amazon, it’s even relatively affordable. (I bought it myself.)
