Mega Unveils 3:4 Scale Xbox 360 Replica for Adults
Gamers will have the thrilling chance to purchase a brand-new Xbox 360 in 2023. There is a catch, though: you'll have to dig in with your own hands and assemble it together yourself. Microsoft may have stopped making its best-selling console seven years ago but renowned block builder Mega has presented a 3:4 scale replica of the Xbox 360, only being sold at Target beginning on October 8.
A Resurgence of Nostalgia
The gaming community has been abuzz since this unexpected release. Mega, renowned for its detailed building toys, has painstakingly crafted a 1342-piece kit to represent the Xbox 360 experience. The kit includes an accurate recreation of the system, an Xbox 360 controller, and a specially bricked-up version of the venerable Halo 3 game.
Xbox itself took to Twitter to make the announcement of the pre-order availability. The set's description is nothing short of a love letter to the iconic console: Inspired by the most influential gaming console of its time, this collector-building set celebrates the legacy of the Xbox 360. Jump back in with a fully buildable, light-up console and controller. The console opens to reveal a disc drive (and other Easter eggs); place the Halo 3-themed disc inside to activate the motherboard. Adult builders take note: completing this set unlocks the ultimate achievement.
Release Details and Availability
On October 8, 2023, this collector's fantasy will finally be released, costing $149.99. As mentioned earlier, this set will be available exclusively at Target. However, the collection's pre-orders were already sold out at the time of writing. Please note that this set is NOT a functional console and is only meant for display. It is yet to be confirmed if Mega will release this in other countries like the UK.
Mega's 3:4 scale replica is more than just a collection of toy blocks; it pays homage to a game console that had a lasting impact on the industry. This chance to assemble an Xbox 360 is a unique way to relive the heyday of gaming. Every aspect has been carefully designed to capture the character of the original, from the painstakingly rebuilt disc drive to the motherboard's vintage glow.
