The new  LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System Building Kit aims for authenticity that can grasp the memory of the collector or owner. Its NES console has a working game slot that a controller that allows users to insert the included Super Mario Bros. cartridge. The console television would really hit you with that childhood memory, for it was designed with knobs and wooden stand solely to portray the world of gaming from the 80s to 90s. 

And on the makeshift Lego "screen" is an action scene from the Mario game, showing the classic the hand crank Mario who moves around in the obstacles. This set not only gives you that 8-Bit flat Mario mini-figure, but you can also move him around the game and put your own spin on it. The course itself is made of technical gears, by using the knob on the side, you can move the course around and play as Mario. If ever purchased the earlier LEGO Mario from the Super Mario Starter Course, they can use the action brick that will make Mario react to the movement on the TV as seen above. 

The set will have around 2600 pieces suitable for ages 18 and above. The collector can purchase in any LEGO stores and online on August 1 for $229. And if you are up to on completing your set, you can have it in preorder for $60
