In a clear millennial nostalgia play aimed directly at me, Mega (formerly Mega Blocks) has revealed an Xbox 360 constructed entirely of blocks.
The 3:4 scale, 1,342 block set features the classic white version of the Xbox 360, its iconic gamepad and of course, Halo 3, a game that’s synonymous with the system.
You can even open up the classic green game case and pop out the Halo 3 disc. The packaging for the set is also a replica of the OG box for the console.
This hits so many levels of nostalgia and we're here for it

To be clear, Mega remains a cheap Lego knock-off in my mind despite the fact that it has the Halo license, but as far as block sets go, this Xbox 360 model is undeniably cool-looking. Lego has released similar video game console sets for the NES and Atari 2600.
Unfortunately, this Xbox 360 Mega set is a Target exclusive, which means it doesn’t seem like it’s coming to Canada any time soon. It goes on sale in the U.S. on October 8th for $149.99 (roughly $204.86 CAD).
Update 12/09/2023 at 12:52pm ET: Xbox Canada confirmed to MobileSyrup that the Mega Xbox 360 will be available internationally starting in Spring 2024.
