According to several sources, the set will go on sale soon on August 1, 2020. The set will consist of 2,646 parts, and it will cost about $229,99 in the US and 230 euros in Europe. 

The LEGO Group has signed a partnership with Nintendo this year. They previously unveiled a set of Mario toys, allowing fans to create their own levels. But now the cooperation between the companies has gone much further. The LEGO Company announced the imminent release of a new building set, which will clearly appeal to the generation of the 80s, also known as kidults and AFOLs.

As you can see, this is a copy of the Nintendo NES game console and an old "The tube" TV. In this case, at least in relation to the console, we can say that the copy is full-sized. At the same time, the kit will allow you to additionally assemble a gamepad and a cartridge.

According to the "image" on the TV we can clearly see that we will be able to play the legendary Super Mario Bros. - is one of the most popular games in history. Moreover, it will really work out to play, albeit nominally. One of the photos shows that the TV will have a special handle that will allow you to control the figurine of the world's most famous plumber.
