Overview

  • An official Lego Store page is live with a crossed-out $19.99 price and a Gift with Purchase tag instead of standard retail availability.
  • The kit includes a display stand, regional stickers for Genesis or Mega Drive branding, and a hidden microscale Sonic Green Hill Zone diorama.
  • Lego has not announced terms, but a Reddit leaker claims a September 8 start with a reported $130 minimum spend to qualify.
  • This marks Lego’s first set depicting Sega hardware, following prior collaborations focused solely on Sonic the Hedgehog.
  • GWP sets commonly surface on resale sites soon after release, and early reactions range from criticism of the controller’s boxiness to praise for the diorama and value.
