In June, a LEGO SEGA Genesis Console will be available!

 

As part of the deluge of Summer 2026 reveals, LEGO has also pulled the curtains off a peculiar new retro console set, 40926 SEGA Genesis Console!

This 479-piece brick-built model of the iconic SEGA Genesis (or Mega Drive, as its best known in Japan, Europe and Australia) will launch on 1 June 2026, and it has a pretty sensible US$39.99 / AU$59.99 / £34.99 pricetag.

  There’s even a Sonic the Hedgehog cartridge, which mimics the actual 1991 game that you can insert into the console.I have to say that it looks a little odd, especially the controllers. The console itself looks pretty good, and will make a nice little display model for retro gamers, and those of us who grew up playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2, Streets of Rage or Shining Force.

  It’s quite an interesting move from LEGO, as we just got a 40769 SEGA Genesis Controller just last year as a GWP (gift with purchase).

That one was a near 1:1 faithful replica of an actual Sega Mega Drive Controller (complete with Genesis and Mega Drive stickers), and was well-received by old school SEGA fans.

The controllers on this console are a lot cruder, however the whole system has been scaled down significantly to fit the US$40 pricetag.
