Either you were buttons, cheat code user or game guide reader, Lego taps into those early gaming memories and brings back the classic Atari 2600 console — batteries not included.

While Nintendo now dominates the home console genre with the NES, SNES and Nintendo Switch, '80s kids remember the Atari 2600 as the one that started it all. Priced at $239.99, the Lego Icons Atari 2600 is a 2,532-piece Lego set designed to be a 1:1 replica of the classic Atari 2600 console from the late 70s and early 80s — and lucky for you, it's on sale right now for $191.99 .

Available on sites like Amazon and Walmartthe set comes with three other “mini-builds”, from the iconic joystick (it's even movable!), to vintage control sticks with slots and three build containers for classic games — Asteroids, Adventure and Centipede (just don't forget to blow into them to get that dust off). You can even create scenes that bring famous Atari games to life: a spaceship that shoots asteroids, a castle, and a centipede with mushroom structures. When you're done with your (fantasy) high score, you can place the containers back into a mini shelf for toy storage.

Meanwhile, you won't need a cheat code to find the hidden 80s gaming scene built into the console itself. A blast from the past, the scene includes a classic TV, boom box, posters on the wall (including a New Wave guitarist and a legally distinguishable “Johnny Thunder” movie poster), retro phone and roller skates. There's even a Lego minifigure playing a yoke smaller version of the Atari console. Bonus points if you can find the hidden Easter egg in Adventure Video game cartridge, a tribute from the Lego designer for this collector's set.

This Lego set is the perfect gift for gamers who want to expand their collection of vintage consoles (real or made from bricks) or for those fans and fans of retro games. If you're ready to relive the memories of stealing the controllers from your siblings or beating that final level for the first time, check out the Lego Icons Atari 2600 on sale for $191.99 (regularly $239.99) at Amazon and Walmart.
