Target's Early Black Friday Sale is packed with over 100 Lego deals, featuring an outstanding offer on the Atari 2600 model kit. The 2,532-piece Lego set usually sells for $240, but you can grab it for just $135 until Saturday, November 9—or until stocks run out, which is highly probable given its popularity. Amazon is also offering this deal, though inventory is already dwindling. This set is ideal for seasoned builders. Once completed, you'll have a detailed replica console with working switches, a Lego-built Atari joystick that mimics the original controller, and several displayable cartridges.
It's important to note that this Lego Atari 2600 is purely a visual replica; however, it includes a delightful '80s-themed hidden gaming room. This small diorama features intricate details such as a retro landline phone, TV, posters, and a boom box. The buildable cartridges are based on iconic games like Asteroids, Centipede, and Adventure. These cartridges can be stored in a case and transformed into mini 3D scenes of the games. Lastly, the console includes a switch to toggle between color and black-and-white TV settings.
The Atari 2600 is the most budget-friendly of the three Lego sets commemorating retro video game hardware. The Nintendo Entertainment System and Pac-Man Arcade kits rarely see discounts from their $270 price tags. The Lego NES, in particular, is frequently out of stock at major retailers, including currently, but it's available at the Lego Store. Target currently lists the Lego NES at a slight discount—Amazon has already sold out at the same price.
