LEGO is dropping a new set that’s a throwback to the classic Sega Genesis Controller. This isn’t just any controller replica; the front looks just like the real deal, complete with A, B, and C buttons. But the real surprise is on the back, where you’ll find a miniature scene from the iconic Green Hill Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog, featuring Sonic zipping through a loop!
Curious about how to get your hands on this set? It looks like it might be a special gift with purchase (GWP) item, as the official LEGO site has it listed for $19.99 with the price crossed out (edit: Seems that the item will go live on 9/9/2025). However, it’s currently marked as “not available” and isn’t on the offers page just yet. The set is also a pretty accurate, miniature version of the original controller, measuring 3.5 inches tall and 5.5 inches long. So keep your eyes peeled for an official announcement on how you can add this cool piece of gaming history to your collection!

Thanks for the info.
I ordered the Super Mario World: Mario and Yoshi set to get this free (and that was satisfying lol). I haven’t assembled it yet, but the box looks cool.
