The original PlayStation is being rebuilt in bricks. LEGO and Sony Interactive Entertainment have revealed the first official LEGO PlayStation set, a near life-size replica of the original console and its controller, and it goes on sale in Australia on 4 October 2026 for $279.99\. Announced on 3 September 2026 after a reveal during PlayStation's State of Play broadcast, it arrives as the console brand marks 30 years of play.

## What's in the box

The set (number 72306) has 1,911 pieces and is rated 18+, putting it firmly in LEGO's range of display models for adults. Built, it measures about 6cm high, 26cm wide and 19cm deep, close to 1:1 scale with the original console.

LEGO says the model has "functional Open and Power buttons, a plug-in controller and hidden buildable dioramas of iconic games *Gran Turismo* and *Ape Escape*." The two dioramas can sit inside the console or be displayed on their own:

- **Gran Turismo:** a miniature race track with scaled cars, nodding to the 1997 original.
- **Ape Escape:** an island scene from the 1999 game, with a swappable blue or red light on the monkeys' helmet.

## Why it matters for collectors

LEGO describes this as the very first official LEGO PlayStation set. Pairing the hardware with two of the PlayStation's best-known early games gives it broader appeal than a straight console replica, and the plug-in controller is a detail that long-time players will appreciate.

At $279.99, Australian buyers pay noticeably more than the US$179.99 US price once exchange rates are factored in.

## More PlayStation hardware on the way

The LEGO set was one of several hardware reveals around the September State of Play. Sony also unveiled two Grand Theft Auto VI Limited-Edition DualSense controllers: a Black Edition inspired by Vice City's nightlife and a White Edition representing the city at daybreak. Both use a colour-shifting finish that blends sunset hues and neon, with moulded palm tree details and official GTA VI branding.

The controllers are priced at US$84.99 and release on 19 November 2026, the same day as the game. Sony lists them for PlayStation Direct in the US and parts of Europe plus select retailers globally; Australian pricing has not been confirmed.
