The BrickBoy upgrade kit costs more than twice as much as the Lego Game Boy and transforms Lego’s classic buildable Game Boy into a functional handheld emulator. Starting at €129 ($150), the kit brings your Lego creation to life but at a price that may surprise fans. Early backers can snag a discounted €99 ($115) version, but it still costs significantly more than Lego’s $60 model.
Three versions of the BrickBoy are available. The Essential Kit handles only Game Boy titles in grayscale with a mono speaker. The Gamer Kit adds Game Boy Color and Advance compatibility, Bluetooth support, and a rechargeable battery for €169 ($197). The Collector’s Edition turns the Lego Game Boy into a demo-running display piece for €189 ($220). Each option ships in March 2026, making the BrickBoy a high-priced but unique collectible.
The BrickBoy upgrade kit costs more than twice as much as the Lego Game Boy, which raises concerns about value. While it offers emulation without the need for original cartridges, its ergonomics and controls are reportedly less comfortable than many ready-to-play emulators like Anbernic’s handhelds. For serious gamers, the cost might outweigh the novelty factor.
