BrickBoy Kickstarter Hits Half A Million – New Arcade Edition Introduced!

The BrickBoy Kickstarter has surpassed a huge milestone, supporters have pledged over €500,000!

Due to the it’s popularity, the team have extended the Kickstarter until 2nd December and introduced a ton of new and exciting items, goals and updates, including;

• Bluetooth controller support added to all Gamer and Collector Kits
• Arcade Edition revealed
• Bluetooth controller add-on available
• Triple Play Pack released

The Arcade edition is perhaps the most exciting as it was designed exclusively for BrickBoy by LEGO Ideas winner Lego7. The expansion transforms your BrickBoy into a living-room arcade console with a ton of cool features, such as a full LEGO alternative MOC, HDMI output, upgraded CPU performance, local multi-player, Expo Mode and a printed instruction booklet. The MOC is simply an extra add-on for those who want it, already available on Kickstarter.

There is also an upgrade for all Gamer and Collector editions, with built-in Bluetooth controller support out of the box. This was a much requested feature by supporters and now it’s part of the core experience. For those that don’t have a Bluetooth Controller at home, there is also as add-on you can grab when pledging. This includes one Bluetooth controller, a buildable controller stand, and a customisable printed tile.
