LEGO priced the set at 39.99 USD in the United States. The United Kingdom price is set at 34.99 GBP. The product will be available globally starting June 1, 2026. This release date aligns with the official announcement window.
The SEGA Genesis holds a significant place in gaming history. It competed directly with the Nintendo Entertainment System during the 16-bit era. LEGO has previously released sets for other gaming consoles. This new addition continues that trend of celebrating video game culture through brick construction.
