LEGO Sega Genesis Console will be ready for builders in June

LEGO and Sega are no strangers, and we’ve received a number of Sega-specific LEGO sets including a Sonic the Hedgehog collection amongst others.  But as they did with nintendo some time ago, The LEGO Group have announced a Sega Genesis/Megadrive Console model which is set to be released next month!

Officially known as the LEGO SEGA: SEGA Genesis Console (40926), the mini-size 479 piece set will set players back $39.99 when it launches on June 1st, 2026.  The kit includes a pair of detachable controllers (the 3-button originals, not the superior 6-button version), a mini Sonic the Hedgehog 2 game cart and stick-on decorations, and a cool inlay of Sonic within the build.

Check out the details of the set below and also at the official LEGO site, where it’s available for pre-order.

Get ready to level up your LEGO collection! Today, the LEGO Group and SEGA revealed the new SEGA Genesis Console (40926). The highly detailed model is inspired by and pays homage to SEGA’s original gaming console, an icon for gamers worldwide.

Bringing together the best of creativity and a love for retro gaming, this display model allows builders to customise their creation into either the SEGA Genesis or SEGA Mega Drive version, complete with detachable controllers and decorative stickers.

“Like many others from my generation, I still vividly remember when the SEGA Mega Drive launched – it felt completely out of this world,” said Patrik, Designer at the LEGO Group. “27 years later the love for the console is still going strong – I still play mine! Recreating the intricate details and curves of the console with LEGO elements was an enjoyable challenge, despite its difficulty.”

“We feel that this is a building experience that captures both SEGA’s heritage of gaming and the playful creativity of LEGO play,” said Alex Gomez, VP, Licensing & Partnerships of SEGA of America, Inc. “The SEGA Genesis holds a special place in the hearts of gamers and represents a defining era in video game history. With this new LEGO set, fans are not only able to relive those nostalgic memories but also actively engage with SEGA’s legacy through hands-on creativity.”

The LEGO® SEGA®: SEGA Genesis™ Console (40926) will be available from 1st June 2026, priced at £34.99 / €39.99 / $39.99. Discover more and purchase at LEGO.com/GenesisMegadrive or visit your nearest LEGO Store.
