This Awesome LEGO PS2 Set Will Be Officially Considered for Production 1

A user-submitted LEGO PS2 set has gained enough support to be considered by LEGO to be made official and put on sale.

This comes from the LEGO Ideas site, where anyone can submit their dream LEGO project and hope to gain supporters. If they get 10,000 within a certain time frame, the project moves into a review phase at the Danish company, where a decision is made on whether it enters development.

RippleDrive's PS2 set, which would allow you to construct a plastic facsimile of Sony's second home console, just earned enough supporters in time to be considered in LEGO's 2025 review phase, which takes place in January.

The set itself, in its current guise, consists of over 2,000 pieces, and sees you build the console (original design), a DualShock 2 controller, and memory cards at "close to" 1:1 scale. Furthermore, the disc tray can be opened, and you can remove the memory card covers to insert your LEGO memory cards, as well as plug in the faux controller.

Even better is that the set includes internal components on the inside of the build, so you can take the top off and look at the parts and circuitry that makes the machine tick.

It's a super-detailed set that fans of PlayStation and retro gaming will definitely want to own.

However, it's got some hoops to jump through before that becomes a possibility. Even if LEGO does approve it for full development and production, it'll also need the go-ahead from Sony before it can get off the ground.

Some good news is that PlayStation and LEGO do have an established relationship now via LEGO Horizon Adventures, as well as a couple of official Horizon LEGO sets. Stranger things have happened, so we're hopeful this will come to pass.
