The LEGO Game Boy set immediately captured my attention from its initial announcement. It masterfully blends two of my greatest passions: LEGO and video games. Based on all available data at IGN, this set has also proven to be a massive success with our audience. As we discovered during our build, it's a remarkable set because it offers a near 1:1 scale replica of Nintendo's revolutionary handheld console, packed with delightful details, unique elements, and hidden surprises. Priced at $59.99 (available at Amazon), it feels like excellent value for money.

I had the opportunity to interview Carl Merriam, a Senior Designer at the LEGO Group, via email. Over the years, Carl has designed numerous LEGO sets, including several other Nintendo-themed creations. Among them is the Mario & Yoshi set that I personally built and still keep on my desk today.
