Around this year, I was aware that Lego released a Lego Gameboy Brick Model Product. This one was sold for 60 USD SRP featuring an almost exact replica of Nintendo's 1st generation Gameboy. Lego went on extra mile for this Gameboy Lego as this one is not just a brick model replica of the classic handheld console but include some functional gimmicks including buttons and screen. The current iteration of Lego Gameboy also includes Brick model version gameboy cartridge for Legend of Zelda and Super Mario including swappable screen. Even without this, nostalgic millenials will already scramble to obtain this piece of time capsule but Lego took the high road for this one anyway.
However the reason why this particular lego product brought up in Realm of Darkness not only because of the the quality end product by Lego but the elaborate effort by modding community for this product, partially fueled by Nostalgia.
Apparently some collectors able to mod their Lego Gameboy into literally functional Gameboy which are made easier due to available 3rd Party add on product that comes with the complete hardware and software package. While the current build of functional Lego Gameboy showcase is not exactly perfect yet, give it several months we could expect leaps of end results.
Personally, since I grew up on Gameboy Color and Advance, Lego Gameboy haven't got my full attention yet. However if Lego ever released the series continuation with Gameboy Color or SP, it will certainly catch my full attention especially if there are means to make it a functional gameboy.
