Over on the inside, we have an introduction to the history and legacy of the Atari 2600, plenty of interesting trivia (and awesome art) which I learned a lot from, as well as this cool profile and reflection from set designer Chris McVeigh. Here’s a look at the instructions manual, which has a very retro beige colour scheme, and sepia photography of the model, with the large VIDEO COMPUTER SYSTEM font giving off heavy 80s graphic design vibes. LEGO Designers: Chris McVeigh ( Date: 1 August 2022 (global) / 1 September 2022 (Australia) Special thanks to LEGO for providing this set for review. *The Australian release date is 1 September 2022.

If you grew up in the late 70s and 80s, Atari was all the rage, and for many in that generation, sparked a lifelong interest in gaming, and kickstarted (and almost ended – see Video Game Crash of 1983) the entire video game industry.ġ0306 Atari 2600 has a release date of 1 August 2022, and will retail for US$239.99, and ahead of the launch, let’s check out the set in my early review. This 2,532-piece Chris McVeigh-designed set is a highly detailed brick-built replica of the “woody” Atari 2600, and is LEGO’s second gaming console model after 2020’s 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System. Seizing on the resurgence of interest in retro gaming and Atari’s 50th anniversary, LEGO’s next video game-themed LEGO Icons set is 10306 Atari 2600, one of the most iconic gaming consoles in history.
