Gaming enthusiasts and collectors have a rare opportunity to own a piece of console history at a significant discount. The officially licensed Xbox 360 Collector Building Set, featuring 1,342 pieces, is currently available for just $100, down from its original $150 price tag. This detailed model, a collaboration between Mega Bloks and Microsoft, faithfully recreates the iconic launch edition Xbox 360 at a 3:4 scale as part of the adult-focused Mega Showcase Collector series. It comes packaged in a replica of the original console box, making it an authentic display piece for any gaming aficionado.
Since its release in October 2023, this collector’s set has seen only a few price reductions, making the current deal a match for its all-time lowest price. You can purchase it directly from Target or through third-party sellers on Walmart, with both retailers offering the set at this attractive $100 price point.
The building experience goes beyond just assembling the console. Builders will also piece together a detachable hard drive, a detailed Xbox 360 controller, and even a Halo 3 game box. One of the most engaging features is the interactive disc reader, by removing the side panel, you can place the included Halo 3 disc replica, which activates a light-up Cortana chip on the motherboard. Additional illuminated elements include the Xbox Guide button, powered by a removable battery pack, and the console’s power button. Thankfully, the infamous Red Ring of Death is one feature this model does not replicate.
For fans of the Halo universe, another compelling option is the deeply discounted 609-piece Guilty Spark display model available at Amazon. This buildable replica includes LED lighting and a speaker that plays 15 different phrases from the games, adding an extra layer of immersion.
The trend of officially licensed gaming hardware models continues to grow, with several notable releases in recent years. Lego has partnered with industry giants like Nintendo, Bandai Namco, and Atari to produce impressive display sets. The upcoming 421-piece Lego Game Boy is set to launch on October 1; while preorders are sold out at most major retailers, it can still be reserved for $60 directly through the Lego Store. Although the Lego Nintendo Entertainment System and Lego Atari 2600 are now retired, Amazon has recently restocked the 2,532-piece Atari model at its original $240 price.
