If you grew up during the ’80s and ’90s, then there’s a very good chance that you had a Nintendo Game Boy that you played when you weren’t watching TV, listening to “Color Me Badd” or playing your favorite arcade games. But now, you can make your own gaming handheld with help from Lego.

Priced at $59.99, the Lego Nintendo Game Boy set is available for preorder at Walmart and Lego.com. It comes out on Wednesday, Oct. 1.

Ideal for adults 18 and up, the Lego Game Boy set features 421 Lego pieces to build an exact replica of the Nintendo Game Boy, which was originally released in 1989. It comes with a D-Pad, select and start buttons, and B and A action buttons. There’s even a game slot for the included game cartridges, “Super Mario Land” and “The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening.” It comes with a few lenticular screens for faux-gameplay.

Please note: The set isn’t able to play video games. There is no light or game functions. It’s just for fun!
