A rumored LEGO set featuring the PlayStation character Astro Bot could soon join the retro gaming market. This potential release would allow collectors to display a modern mascot alongside a classic console theme. The news matters to fans who want to build a cohesive PlayStation display without buying separate items.
Rumor suggests Astro Bot 40899 is a Gift with Purchase for the $160 LEGO PlayStation 1 set
The set, identified as number 40899, is rumored to be a Gift with Purchase (GWP). This means buyers would receive the Astro Bot figure only when they purchase the larger LEGO PlayStation 1 set. The GWP status would prevent the Astro Bot set from being sold individually in retail stores.
Leakers suggest the main PlayStation 1 set will contain 1,911 pieces. The pricing for this bundle is reported at $160 USD. These details come from unverified leaks shared on Reddit by a source known as BrickTap.
The rumored launch date for both sets is October 1, 2026. Astro Bot has gained significant popularity on the PS5, making it a logical choice for a new LEGO release. Fans are watching closely to see if LEGO confirms this retro gaming lineup.
We looked at other retro console LEGO sets earlier while tracking PlayStation collectibles. The current rumor suggests a bundled release strategy rather than a standalone product launch. LEGO has not yet confirmed these details or the specific release date.
