Atari, one of the pioneers of the early video game industry, wasfounded 50 years ago.
LEGO is celebrating the occasion with an Atari 2600 set, arriving next month.
It’s roughly the same size as the original console, complete with functioning switches and a moving joystick.

This isn’t just a re-creation of the Atari 2600, though.
Yes, there is a tiny Atari 2600 in the scene inside the Atari 2600.
The new set will be released on August 1, 2022 for $239.99.

It will only be available from LEGO’s own online store, at least initially.
Many other ‘ICONS’ sets have eventually made their way to store shelves in the past.
