I built the LEGO Nintendo NES Console today. I did not build the TV that goes with this at this time nor did I build the controller. I started it this afternoon with help from Andy. He lost interest after the second bag. I kept going until the whole console was complete. It is a really neat build and it works just like the NES console I had as a kid, minus actually playing games. But you build a game cartridge and it slides in the same way and you push it down and it locks, push it again and it pops back up. There is also a fun Easter egg, too. On the right side of the console, hidden under the top is a little the warp tubes that Mario can use to get to later levels in Super Mario Bros. I was building it and didn’t even realize what it was. I’ll have to find another day when I can build the little TV portion of this set. That will be more complex because you build a Supr Mario level that you can crank around and around and pretend to play as Mario.
