Something the company has been known for LEGO in recent years, is to have collaborations with video game brands such as Nintendo and even with PlayStation and the set of Horizon Forbidden West. However, now they want to return to the retro era of the industry, so they have just confirmed a set based on the classic Atari 2600.
The set comes with versions LEGO of the releases of Atari Asteroids, Adventure Y Centipede. Small recreations of 2D screens from the video games can also be built. You can even make a recreation of the game that looks somewhat faithful to the original. The toy will go on sale next August 1 At a price of $239.99 USD.

This is what the designer of LEGO, Chris McVeighRegarding the big announcement:
The Atari 2600 was one of the most memorable gifts I received as a child. I remember spending hours and hours in front of the TV, absolutely in awe that I could play arcade games in my own home. There were also so many legendary titles including Asteroids, Adventure, and Centipede. That’s why it’s been such an incredible experience to bring together two icons, Atari and LEGO, in this incredible package. We hope that building this classic console takes you back to those happy days when a handful of pixels meant a world of adventure.
It is worth commenting that the set of lego-atari will be launched both in the official store of LEGO as in authorized and affiliated stores such as amazon and departmental brands.
