Lego PlayStation Early Access: Free Astro Bot Figure Steals the Show

Lego Insiders can now order the 1,911-piece Lego PlayStation for $179.99/£139.99, and orders before October 7 score a free 276-piece Astro Bot statue worth $19.99.
Ever wished you could build your own PlayStation? Well, now you can—sort of. The Lego PlayStation is officially up for early access on Lego Insiders starting today, and if you're quick, you'll snag a free Astro Bot figure that's almost too cute to pass up.
The set costs $179.99 / £139.99 and packs a whopping 1,911 pieces. It's a replica of the original PlayStation console, complete with a controller. But this isn't just a static model—it's packed with interactive details. There's a functioning 'Open' button, and the disc tray is designed to hold game-specific dioramas. You can slot in scenes from Gran Turismo and Ape Escape, then flip the lid for a surprise. The original controller can also connect and disconnect from the front slots. Plus, there's a hidden internal PlayStation logo built entirely from flat tiles inside the disc tray. Oh, and the only stickers in the set are for smaller side builds—the main prints are all set-specific.
But the real kicker? The free gift with purchase. If you order before October 7, you'll get a 276-piece Astro Bot statue. It's fully posable, has swappable eyes, and is valued at $19.99. That little robo buddy has been making the rounds on social media, and now it can be yours. It's a perfect pairing: a retro builder's dream set and one of the most adorable mascots in gaming right now.
To get early access, you just need to sign up for Lego Insiders—it's completely free. So if you're eager to start building, head over to Lego's site and place your order. But don't wait too long: the Astro Bot figure is only guaranteed for orders placed before October 7.
And that's not all that dropped today. Lego Insiders also got early access to a bunch of other sets. TV fans might fancy the Downton Abbey set at $349.99, while Star Wars enthusiasts can grab the massive 6,130-piece Executor Super Star Destroyer for $799.99. You can read our full review of that one before deciding.
We're already getting our hands on the Lego PlayStation—our resident Lego wizard Benj is building it as we speak, so keep an eye out for our full review soon. In the meantime, get ready for this year's Black Friday Lego deals, and check out all the sets released in September 2026.
