A recent leak has unveiled the first images of LEGO's anticipated PlayStation 1 set, as reported by ComicBook.com on September 2, 2026. While LEGO has yet to make a formal announcement, the imagery showcases a design reminiscent of the original PS1 console, solidifying months of speculation regarding its release.
The leaked images come from Brick Tap News and confirm that the upcoming set, designated as #72306, closely resembles the original PlayStation console model. It features an original controller, which notably does not include thumbsticks. This controller can also be connected to the front of the set, while the lid opens to expose its internal components, adding to its authenticity.
In addition to the console replica, the PS1 set includes two side dioramas, each connected to iconic titles from the PlayStation library. One diorama draws inspiration from Ape Escape, a platformer that debuted in 1999, while the other is themed around Gran Turismo, one of PlayStation’s hallmark racing franchises. These dioramas not only fulfill nostalgic value for fans but also enhance the overall aesthetic and playability of the set.
The LEGO PlayStation 1 set is priced at $160 and is set to hit shelves on October 1, 2026. With a total of 1,911 pieces, the set offers a compelling value compared to similar LEGO releases that typically cost more when approaching the 2,000-piece mark. This pricing strategy is expected to appeal to collectors and fans of both LEGO and PlayStation.
Notably, customers purchasing the LEGO PS1 directly from the LEGO website will receive an additional Astro Bot set as a limited-time bonus gift. While specifics about this bonus set remain undisclosed, it reflects LEGO’s strategy to incentivize early purchases of fan-favorite themes.
The response to the news of the LEGO PS1 set is likely to be highly enthusiastic among both LEGO enthusiasts and gaming fans. This crossover appeal taps into the strong nostalgia associated with the original PlayStation console and its groundbreaking titles. Given that LEGO has previously focused on iconic franchises, this new release is expected to strengthen the brand's position in the market among video game collectibles and nostalgic memorabilia.
Although LEGO has yet to officially announce this PS1 set, the impending reveal is expected to coincide closely with its launch. Fans are advised to keep an eye on LEGO's official website for pre-order opportunities, which may become available as the release date approaches.
As the launch date approaches, fans should prepare for official announcements from LEGO regarding the PlayStation 1 set. The combination of nostalgia, value pricing, and collectible features could make this set a sought-after item once it becomes available for purchase. Additionally, the unique marketing strategies, such as offering the Astro Bot bonus, could foster broader interest in upcoming LEGO releases.
Stay tuned for further details from LEGO, and keep an eye on retailers to ensure you don’t miss out on this exciting new addition to the LEGO lineup.
