Lego Game Boy Surfaces Early at Retailers
The highly anticipated Lego Game Boy is now available at select retailers, well ahead of its official release date of October 1. Stores such as Costco and Sam’s Club are reportedly selling the unit at a discounted price, despite Lego.com and other retailers showing no stock, reports 24brussels.
Both retailers have the Lego Game Boy priced around $49, significantly lower than the official price of $59.99. This pricing strategy has stirred frustration among early buyers who pre-ordered through other outlets. It is also important to note that Costco and Sam’s Club typically require a paid membership to make purchases, with Costco’s annual fee set at $65.
Reports on social media confirm that pallets of the Lego Game Boy have been observed in numerous locations across the country within the past few days. Shoppers are encouraged to check their local warehouses for availability.
Finding stock at a nearby store can be tricky since the product is not listed online; however, the Costco app provides an inventory check feature. Users can access the app, navigate to the Warehouse tab, select a local store, and search for stock by entering the item number 1917022.
Prospective buyers should be prepared to locate the set in-store, often found in the toy aisle alongside other Lego products. The early availability of the Lego Game Boy continues to generate buzz as collectors and enthusiasts seek to secure this nostalgic item ahead of the official launch.
