Build ‘Cuphead’, ‘Final Fantasy’, and ‘Stardew Valley’ with These LEGO Video Game IDEAS Sets
These LEGO video game sets cover all eras, from 1980s arcade favorites to a famous relaxing farming game. They just need your vote!
Playable Arcade Game
This arcade game has an internal motor that powers each game track to spin forward, replicating the old-school games of the 1980s. It even simulates “game over” by stopping the motor when you hit a vehicle. It’s a great display piece beyond its realistic gameplay. It has a seat, multiple arcade signs, lights on the front, and a base plate with rivets.
Genshin Impact
Ningguang’s grand palace from the fantasy game floats above the city of Liyue Harbor – as does this gravity defying set. The brick built palace has stone and wood pathways, and a lily pond with garden surrounding a large decorative tower. It’s a modular elements and promises to be a challenging build.
Final Fantasy VII
Final Fantasy VII was groundbreaking. It was the first JRPG (Japanese role-playing game) that used 3D technology and new sound technology that allowed them to create a soundtrack that went beyond MIDI. It’s become one of the most beloved video games of all time.
This LEGO video game set focuses on important moments and characters from the game.
Bottom left, you can see Cloud Strife, an ex-SOLDIER (agent of Shinra) and the main character of the video game, with his Buster Sword riding the Hardy Daytona motorcycle. The bottom right is Aerith, Red XIII, and a Chocobo. Top right is Tifa and Barret, members of Avalanche (a group against Shinra) fighting one of Shinra’s machines, the Airbuster. And in the top left you can find Sephirot and old hero and a former SOLDIER, on top of a 8×8 dark tank circle with fire to represent the Meteor.
Out Run
Remember this SEGA arcade classic? Out Run was released in 1986 and introduced nonlinear gameplay and a beachy synth-wave soundtrack that’s probably still stuck in your head nearly forty years later. Yes, we are that old.
The 1,735 piece set recreates the iconic start scene with a brick-built car ready to take off into the game’s landscape and arcade controllers.
Cuphead
Cagney Carnation from super popular run and gun game is the focus of this 868 piece set. It has two dioramas based on levels in the game – Floral Fury and Porkrind’s Shop.
Floral Fury includes the different hazards that Cagney shoots at players, and the background is made of multiple layers with five different layers of brick walls that represent hills, the sky, the sea, and clouds. The build also includes extra tiles to represent Mugman’s lives and player mode.
Megaman: X vs. Vile
Both characters from the classic console game are about 5 inches tall and are articulated so you can pose them.
Megaman X1 was one of my favorite games from my childhood. It was the first Megaman game released on a 16-bit console, and I believe many people share similar memories of struggling to defeat the first stage boss, Vile, and his Ride Armor. The moment Vile first appeared, riding a massive robot equipped with powerful cannons on his shoulders, left a lasting impression on me. The battle between X and Vile became so iconic that it inspired me to create this project.
Stardew Valley: Pelican Town
Fins some serenity and calm outside of the game with this set. Build Pelican Town with fourteen minifig residents, including Mayor Lewis and Pierre. The set also features key locations like Jojamart, the Stardew Clinic, and Stardrop Saloon.
Portal Book Ends
Hold your favorite books in place with this video game-inspired set. The base of this 1,300 piece build has a Technic internal structure that holds the portal and halved companion cube.
On one side, you’ll find Atlas standing on a base designed to resemble the iconic robotic panels from the Portal games. Atop the base, you’ll also find Wheatley, the mischievous antagonist from Portal 2. And for fans who have been waiting over 15 years for their promised cake—you can finally make your own (LEGO) cake!
AdvertisementOn the other side, P-body stands on a matching panel-style base, featuring an orange portal and the other half of the companion cube. This base also includes a Sentry Turret, ready to fire, and the game’s ultimate evil… the bird! Nestled on the base is a bird’s nest, complete with GLaDOS in potato form.
