Sony and LEGO are reportedly partnering to launch a 1,911-piece PlayStation 1 console set in October 2026, according to recent rumors. The collaborative kit will reportedly arrive alongside a limited-time Astro Bot 'gift with purchase' build. It is the latest attempt to rebuild the 1990s out of plastic, one studs-up gray block at a time.
While official confirmation has not yet been shared by either company, the rumored piece count points to a detailed replica of the console that started it all. Adding Astro Bot to the promotional bundle keeps Sony's current mascot front and center while pulling on the nostalgic heartstrings of those who remember when memory cards were a luxury.
The details
Not everyone is waiting in silent anticipation, however. Some fans have taken to the internet to jokingly mock the rumored set, raising questions about whether they will actually get to assemble physical bricks or if they will simply open the box to find a digital download code. It is a particularly sharp joke for a community already keeping an eye on how Sony manages its formats, especially given rumors surrounding Sony's plans to end physical discs.
For now, the project remains unconfirmed, leaving nostalgic builders to wait and see if their brick-built dreams will require assembly or just a really big shelf.
