LEGO Rumored to Release an Official PlayStation 1 Set Before End of 2026
LEGO is reportedly preparing to add Sony’s first PlayStation to its ever-growing lineup of console replicas, with community leaks pointing to an official PlayStation 1 model arriving before the end of 2026.
LEGO PlayStation 1 set details reportedly leak
Multiple community posts circulating on Reddit’s LEGO-focused forums claim LEGO plans to sell an official brick-built version of the original PlayStation. The console is allegedly identified by set number 72306.
- The rumored release window is set for late 2026.
- The leak claims the set will feature a 1:1 scale recreation of the original hardware.
What the reported LEGO PS1 bundle includes
The same leak threads say the PlayStation 1 won’t be offered as a standalone build. LEGO is allegedly planning a separate promotional item packaged as a “Gift With Purchase” (GWP) for buyers who pick up the console during the launch period.
- The rumored promotional set is labeled 40899.
- That GWP is said to spotlight Astro Bot, described in the leak as a PlayStation brand mascot and ambassador.
Reported features of the brick-built console
Alongside the set numbering, the community details claim the LEGO PlayStation 1 replica will aim to feel functional rather than purely decorative.
- A controller included with the console.
- A memory card included in the box.
- A disc drive flap that is expected to work.
- Possible hidden nods inside the model, described as easter eggs.
Release timing and the broader LEGO replica trend
If the reported dates hold, LEGO would be aligning this PS1 replica with a playbook it has used repeatedly: releasing console builds well ahead of the holiday rush.
- The rumored launch month is October 2026, with October 1, 2026 mentioned in community discussion.
The leak frames this project as the next step in LEGO’s “Adults Welcome” strategy, which has helped make console replicas a lucrative niche. In recent years, LEGO has already tackled several retro systems, including:
- LEGO NES in 2020
- LEGO Atari 2600 in 2022
- LEGO releases tied to Game Boy and Mega Drive (SEGA)
Competitors have also jumped into the replica market, with the report pointing to MEGA-style console kits—specifically mentioning Mattel releasing a Xbox 360 kit.
What happens next
For now, the LEGO and Sony Interactive Entertainment companies have not confirmed the project publicly. But if the set numbers and launch plan are accurate, LEGO’s next major nostalgia milestone would bring the PlayStation 1 era—plus an Astro Bot gift-with-purchase—into the brick-built spotlight before the end of 2026.
