Here comes a possible replacement for retiring LEGO Icons Atari
LEGO Icons 10306 Atari 2600 retires in a few days time but one LEGO Ideas fan designer has successfully put together a potential replacement.
With Finnish designer RippleDrive’s third attempt at this subject matter, Sony PlayStation 2 made it past 10,000 supporters on LEGO Ideas on December 27. The build accurately recreates the sixth-generation Sony console that released almost 25 years ago in 2000.
Not only does it look the part, but it also features a number of interactive features, including an openable disc tray and a movable disc reading lens. The memory card covers can also be removed to plug thems into their slots, as well as a spot for the controller to connect to the console. As an extra easter egg for PS fans, the inside of the controller features the seven orbs from the PlayStation 2 original menu.
The detail carries all the way through to the inner workings of the console, visible through lift-away panel sections. You can also take out the mechanical parts of the console to get a closer look at them.
Having another brick-built gaming console to display alongside 10306 Atari 2600 would make for a fun display – if the project can impress the LEGO Ideas designers. To do so, Sony PlayStation 2 needs to go up against 44 other fan-designed builds in the battle to become a real LEGO Ideas set. Check out its competition below, with just a few days left until the third 2024 review closes at the end of the year.
