The BrickBoy Kickstarter has begun and it has already reached 100% funding, but don’t worry, there is still plenty of opportunities left to back the campaign and grab yourself a BrickBoy!
The kit will transform your LEGO Game Boy (72046) set into a playable handheld console just like it’s real-life predecessor – taking your display piece to the next level, literally. The Kickstarter campaign already launched, with three editions to choose from, Essential, Gamer, and Collectors. The BrickBoy team have working prototypes and have showcased them over on their social media channels, we have one coming for testing and review purposes, so watch this space for our in-depth look at the device.

The upgrade doesn’t work like you’ll remember, no physical cartridges are needed, instead the creators have included an emulator. The hardware and software side of things handles the gaming side of things running Game Boy ROMs. Sadly no other details have been disclosed as to what exactly runs it, for a non-techie like me I don’t need to know, just enjoy the beauty of it and the games.
The price brackets vary depending on which edition you fancy, starting at just €129 upto €189. The earlier you back the better the deal, currently they each have a special earlybird discount, act fast and head over to Kickstarter and grab yours.
