  This is definitely one of the coolest, most detailed sets I’ve ever bought. The interior of the console and TV have pieces of a variety of colors which add some pizazz to this set. The detailing include all of the cable slots, as well as, the switches and dials. I love that you could insert the game inside the Console. It would have been cooler if there were another cable connecting the TV to the Console. There are only three big stickers. All of the small pieces are printed. There is virtually no repetition. The crank works perfectly and the added Mario figure glides through with no issues. Overall this set is definitely recommended for any LEGO or Mario fan

  I received this set as a gift for my 20th birthday, and it's the most fun set I've ever built! There are so many hidden details and Easter eggs that can be found in this set; I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I was building it. I started with the NES and was surprised by how many pieces were actually inside the console. I like how a variety of bright colours are used during the build, as this makes it easier to see how the pieces fit together. Don't worry, though, as the colourful internal parts aren't visible once the build is complete, so it doesn't take away from the final look. This set also features a lot of intelligent design; I found the use of upside-down window pieces to make the ports for the AV cables particularly clever! The scrolling screen of the TV and the spring-loaded mechanism inside the NES itself are also very nice touches. This set features mostly printed pieces, and only uses three stickers; two of these are the labels for the Game Pak itself, with the other being an information sticker that goes on the back of the television. There are some very nerdy and cool Easter eggs on this sticker, but I won't spoil them! There has been so much love and attention to detail poured into this set, and I would love to see expansion sets made for it featuring different level designs, or perhaps different games! Excitebike would work particularly well with the mechanism used to control Mario. A second controller would be a nice addition, too! Overall, if you're even vaguely interested in purchasing this set, go for it! The build itself is such a fun and enjoyable process, and the final product is absolutely stunning. Plus, if you have the electronic Mario figure from the LEGO Super Mario starter course, you can slot him into the top of the television and he will react to what's happening on the screen, which is a fun play experience for Nintendo fans of all ages.

  First I would like to say this is a amazing replicated kit I'm build this set at my job and when my coworkers see the Nintendo console they think it's the real deal until I tell them it's a Lego..There pretty amazed.. I grew up playing all the game systems and this is one reason why I bought the set. I love all the details that went into making the console even being able to insert the Cartridge and locking it down. The only downfall to that I would say is for my console the locking mechanism doesn't slide all the way to allow the tray to unlock so I have to tilt the console forward while holding down the game cartride to release the mechanism that's why I only gave it a 9 rating instead of a 10.. But it's not like I will be inserting and removing the cartridge all the time. This is a fun set to build and brings back some memories..

  My favourite build thus far.

  From the moment you see the box you are instantly taken back to the golden era of Nintendo. The packaging and the Nintendo logo just transport you. Opening the box you find over 20 bags, but some are very quick side builds which help construct the mechanical nature of the set. It does a fantastic job of not giving too much away, it's like a magician letting you back stage at his show but not telling you any secrets, just giving you an extra point of view from the usual spell bounded audience. The build starts with the console which very quickly you realise feels like it was created to be immortalised in lego form with its typical blocky design. Before long you are desperate to see the front tiles with Nintendo font being placed on the cartridge flap. The power and reset printed tiles reminding you of the amount of times you had to reset your console. After the console you are greeted with the smaller builds of the controller and the cartridge. Although these are pretty simple when you hold the cartridge for the first time you can remember taking it out to give it a blow. The green tiles inside a reminder to looking in and seeing the green data part of the cartridge. You certainly feel like you have accomplished something at this stage, to see something so prevelant from your childhood sitting in front of you that you have constructed from Lego bricks is quite a moment. The last stage of the build is the TV. Personally I would say this is the hardest build. You are dealing with some cogs and wheels. Take extra care to make sure things are in the right place, the right way around, the right size. Thankfully I made little to no errors as I was concentrating but this would be extremely frustrating if you go towards the end and something didn't quite work in the rotate system. There is a section with a lot of repitition, place 30 single bricks here, connect 30 clamp bricks together. I would recommend a break before tackling the TV because regardless of how fast you are it's a time consuming task with the single bricks. Everytime you click something jn place you find yourself turning the lever to see what's new and what's turning. Even the more decorative side of just the printed tiles for the TV that show power etc just make this set really come to life. The final bag gives you the TV scrolling Mario who attached to the magic when you turn the level he seems to play and jump over the level you have created in bricks. Its a piece of mechanical genius. Or is it magic? I'm very happy with it. I've not seen Lego come to life in this way before. If this holds a special memory for you then I recommend it. The nostalgia and the magic are palpable. My 5 year old is astounded turning the level. My only negative and mistakes do happen is a missing piece, quite a big piece that goes on the top of the TV. Unfortunately I got to the very end and couldn't finish the cosmetic top of the TV.
