The 'LEGO PlayStation,' created through a collaboration between PlayStation and LEGO, was officially released on October 4 (Korean time). SIEK provided a review unit, allowing us to build the LEGO set firsthand.
Built with a total of 1,911 bricks, the LEGO PlayStation recreates the original PlayStation console and controller launched in 1994 at a 1:1 scale. The console's Power and Open buttons can actually be pressed, and pressing the Open button pops open the console lid to reveal its interior.
That's not all. Hidden inside the console body are two dioramas: Gran Turismo and Ape Escape. Gran Turismo features tiny, adorable cars and a miniature racing track, while Ape Escape captures a nostalgic island scene complete with a monkey and a banana tree. Both dioramas can be detached from the console and displayed separately.
The set consists of 14 bags, stickers, 2 extra accessories, and an instruction booklet, taking about four and a half hours to complete. Despite the finished build featuring several working parts, there were no overly complex or difficult steps during assembly.
Unsurprisingly, the most impressive aspect was the level of fidelity. From its color and shape down to the finest details on the controller and console body, virtually every part was crafted to closely mirror the real original PlayStation. For anyone looking to relive memories of that era, this build is a fantastic choice.
