Key points

• Lego and Sega have announced a new set coming next month that'll hit you right in the nostalgia: the Lego Sega Genesis Console.
• The $40 model is a slightly scaled-down version of the gaming system, with the option to give it either the Genesis branding, as it was known in North America, or Mega Drive, as it was released in Japan and other regions.
• The Lego Sega Genesis Console will be available starting June 1 from Lego's online and physical stores.
• The set includes a total of 479 pieces, including two detachable controllers that are about three inches wide, a mock game cartridge featuring Sonic and Tails, and blocks to create a hidden Sonic portrait.
• Once assembled, the Lego Sega Genesis Console measures roughly 1.5 inches high, six inches wide and 4.5 inches deep.
