The Lego Game Boy is set to officially launch on October 1, but reports indicate that customers have already purchased the set from Costco and Sam’s Club, where it is currently available. Both retailers are selling the Lego Game Boy for approximately $49, which is lower than the MSRP of $59.99 at the Lego website and Amazon. Customers who ordered from Lego and other outlets may be frustrated by this early availability and reduced price. It’s important to note that a paid membership is required for purchases at these stores, with Costco’s membership priced at $65 per year.
Images from Reddit show the Lego Game Boy in stock at various locations across the country. To check the availability of the Lego Game Boy at a nearby Costco, users can utilize the Costco app available on iOS and Android. The app features a warehouse inventory check option. Users can select their local warehouse, search for the item by its number (1917022), and see a list of nearby locations where the Lego Game Boy is in stock.
While customers can confirm availability through the app, they will still need to locate the product within the store. Reports suggest it may be situated in the toy section near other Lego sets, indicating a strategic placement aimed at enhancing visibility.
