LEGO’s retro gaming streak continues to draw attention from collectors and console fans alike, and the latest rumor points straight at one of gaming’s biggest brands. New reports suggest an upcoming LEGO PlayStation set could arrive with a free Astro Bot-themed Gift With Purchase—though the LEGO PlayStation product itself still isn’t officially confirmed.
What the leak says about the LEGO PlayStation set
A fresh leak has teased an upcoming LEGO PlayStation set that, according to the report, may ship with an Astro Bot–themed bonus gift. The LEGO PlayStation set in question has not been officially confirmed, but the leak claims it’s slated for release later this year.
Earlier rumors that began circulating in March described a build centered on the original PlayStation console, with most pieces dedicated to recreating the console itself. Those same earlier reports also suggested the set would include enough parts to form an accompanying controller and possibly an accessory such as an original PlayStation memory card.
As for scale and timing, the leak history referenced a 1,911-piece LEGO PlayStation set and a $159.99 retail price, alongside a December 2026 release window. The newest report doesn’t erase those earlier claims, but it adds a major new detail: the purchase could come bundled with a free Astro Bot LEGO set.
Astro Bot Gift With Purchase: what’s known so far
The most recent claim comes from a LEGO leaker known as Brick Tap. The leak states that the LEGO PlayStation set—identified as model 72306—will be bundled with a LEGO Astro Bot set (40899).
Crucially, the Astro Bot set is described as a Gift With Purchase. If accurate, it would be offered for free to customers who buy the LEGO PlayStation set from official LEGO stores, while supplies last. At this stage, the leak does not provide a description of the bonus set’s appearance or how many pieces it will include.
Timing is also a point of tension. The newest leak says the Gift With Purchase would launch on October 1, while earlier rumors placed the main LEGO PlayStation set’s release in December 2026. Brick Tap’s post reportedly attributes the information to “verified anonymous sources,” but it also cautions that pricing details are uncertain and could change.
Why LEGO’s retro gaming sets keep pulling attention
This isn’t LEGO’s first swing at retro gaming hardware. Back in August 2020, LEGO released a Nintendo Entertainment System set consisting of 2,646 pieces, priced at $229.99. That product included a brick-built version of the console plus a small retro TV that displayed action from the original Super Mario Bros.
Since then, LEGO has continued exploring classic gaming through additional sets, including a SEGA Genesis controller Gift With Purchase, a Pac-Man arcade cabinet, and a LEGO Game Boy. More recently, LEGO unveiled a retro gaming recreation of the Donkey Kong arcade machine as a 1,371-piece set.
With that context in mind, a LEGO PlayStation set—especially one paired with an Astro Bot bonus—fits neatly into LEGO’s broader pattern of turning iconic console moments into collectible builds.
Next steps for fans: watch for confirmation
As with all leaks, this information should be treated carefully. The LEGO PlayStation set is still not officially confirmed, and the reported release windows and prices are subject to change.
However, if the set’s schedule does land between October and December, the most logical expectation is an official LEGO announcement ahead of the stated window—potentially toward the end of September. Until then, fans can likely anticipate more details to surface as other leaks and retailer information emerge.

Expert View
If the Astro Bot Gift With Purchase detail holds up, it signals LEGO is leaning harder into high-demand franchises as incentives—not just standalone retro hardware builds. That approach tends to amplify collector urgency and can shift community chatter from “will it exist?” to “how fast will it sell out?” For the broader gaming audience, pairing PlayStation nostalgia with a current mascot also suggests LEGO is trying to bridge eras, which could strengthen demand across both retro-curious buyers and modern PlayStation fans.
