The officially licensed Xbox 360 Collector Building Set is currently on sale for $100, a $50 markdown from its original $150 price. Available at Target and Walmart (via third-party resellers with Walmart fulfillment), this 1,342-piece model is a 3:4-scale replica of the Xbox 360 launch edition. Designed by Mega Bloks in partnership with Microsoft, it`s part of the Mega Showcase Collector series for adults and comes packaged in a faithful recreation of the console`s original box, featuring numerous interactive elements.
Since its debut in October 2023, the Mega Showcase Xbox 360 has seen limited discounts, with the current deal matching its lowest price ever.
Beyond the console itself, the set allows you to construct a detachable hard drive, an Xbox 360 controller, and a Halo 3 game box. A mock Halo 3 disc can be “inserted” into the disc reader by removing a side panel. Once the disc is loaded, the Cortana chip on the motherboard lights up, and the Xbox Guide button also illuminates, powered by a removable battery pack.
The power button on the console`s front panel also lights up, but fortunately, builders won`t encounter the infamous Red Ring of Death.
The image below showcases the interactive components included in the Xbox 360 brick set.
For fans of the Halo universe, a significantly discounted 609-piece Guilty Spark display model is also available. This replica features LED lights and a speaker that plays 15 different in-game phrases.
