LEGO and SEGA have officially announced Set 40926, a collectible, non-functional model of the Sega Genesis (also known as the Mega Drive) aimed at retro-gaming enthusiasts and LEGO collectors.
The 479-piece set is positioned as a detailed display model that merges LEGO's building play with the nostalgic design of SEGA's classic hardware.
LEGO and SEGA confirmed the set will be available from 1 June 2026 with an international price of £34.99/€39.99/$39.99.
Set details and build features
The set is built as a decorative model rather than a working console.
It includes detachable controller builds and a selection of decorative sticker elements, and it can be assembled to represent either the North American Sega Genesis look or the international Mega Drive styling.
LEGO's product notes emphasize the model's focus on accurate form and collectible appeal rather than functionality.
LEGO provided official physical dimensions for the finished model and its controllers.
The company states the console model measures roughly 4 cm high, 16 cm wide and 12 cm deep, while each controller measures approximately 2 cm high, 8 cm wide and 24 cm long.
Those measurements underline the set's desk- or shelf-friendly scale for collectors.
Context and platform relevance
The LEGO Sega Genesis Console lands amid a growing market for licensed, nostalgia-driven collectibles.
For players seeking to revisit the original Sega library in playable form, Nintendo's Switch Online + Expansion Pack includes a curated selection of Genesis/Mega Drive titles as part of its retro offerings.
Nintendo's online store also lists licensed accessories and controller options compatible with the Switch for fans who want a more authentic input experience while using the console's retro services.
