Relive 1989 with the LEGO Nintendo Game Boy (Set 72046)! In this hands‑on build and review, we unbox the 421‑piece set, test the button feel and D‑pad, swap the Mario and Zelda lenticular screens, and go over all the printed details. I’ll share the coolest build techniques, storage spots for the alternate screens, pros and cons, and whether the price lands right for you.
What you’ll see in this video -
- Unboxing and what’s in the box
- Five numbered bags plus an extra bag
- Two cartridge labels as stickers, everything else printed
- Lenticular screens for Super Mario Land, The Legend of Zelda, and “screensaver”
- Clever techniques for the back shell, control pad, and friction‑fit Start/Select tires
- Display stands for the console and extra cartridge
- Final thoughts on value and nostalgia
Key specs -
- Set: LEGO Nintendo Game Boy 72046

Should you buy it?
If you love LEGO and classic Nintendo, this is a standout display piece with a surprisingly authentic feel. Price per piece runs high, but printed parts and lenticular screens help justify it.
