Day 2 of Amazon Prime Day has seen plenty of incredible deals pop up. If you've been on the lookout for LEGO deals, we've already spotted quite a few, but one of our absolute favorites right now is on the Atari 2600 LEGO set. The only catch is that it's not on sale at Amazon. The LEGO Store is getting into the action, and right now, it's marked down 40% from its MSRP of $239.99 to $143.99, which is its lowest price ever. That's a deal you definitely don't want to miss out on.

This LEGO set comes with plenty to build as well. With 2,532 pieces, you'll put together the Atari 2600 console, a joystick, cartidges for three classic games (Adventure, Centipede, and Asteroids), and even a hidden scene set in the 1980s with a minifigure playing the console, complete with a variety of other items like a classic TV, boom box, posters, and more.
On top of all that, you can also create three scenes based on the game cartridges! One is a spaceship that's shooting at asteroids, another is a castle, and the final one is a centipede surrounded by mushrooms. We put together the full build and absolutely adored it. You can see us build the LEGO Atari 2600 here.
Is The Atari 2600 LEGO Set Worth Buying at This Price?
If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to pick up this LEGO set, there's truly no better time. This is the Atari 2600 LEGO set's lowest price to date, even beating any price Amazon has had, according to camelcamelcamel, so it's a fantastic time to pick it up. We likely won't see a price drop like this again until Black Friday, so better to act now to secure your set rather than wait.
