LEGO PlayStation set 72306 is a 1,911-piece, 18+ display build recreating the original PlayStation console and its first controller at near 1:1 scale. Its working Open and Power buttons, plug-in controller and two game-inspired dioramas make it more than a static console model. LEGO announced a general release for October 4, 2026, with regional prices starting at £139.99 in the UK, €159.99 in euro-priced markets and $179.99 in the US.
What is LEGO PlayStation set 72306?
Announced by the LEGO Group on September 3, 2026, set 72306 recreates the original PlayStation console and its first controller. LEGO describes the model as near 1:1 scale. The assembled console is over 6 cm high, 26 cm wide and 19 cm deep, so it has a substantial display footprint despite being a miniature version of the hardware.
The set is intended for builders aged 18 and up and contains 1,911 pieces. That age rating and the product’s display focus position it as an adult-oriented build; they do not establish how well it sells or how consumers have responded.
What features and games are included?
Functional console details
The console’s Open and Power buttons function, and the controller plugs into the console. These details give the model a small amount of hands-on interaction while keeping it centered on display rather than gameplay.

Hidden Gran Turismo and Ape Escape scenes
Opening the console reveals two buildable dioramas inspired by Gran Turismo and Ape Escape. The Gran Turismo scene includes a miniature track and cars. The Ape Escape scene features the game’s monkey helmet, with red or blue options. The scenes can be tucked inside the console or displayed separately.
Building instructions
The official LEGO listing says the LEGO Builder app offers 3D instructions, zoom and rotation controls, and progress tracking. PlayStation Direct’s UK listing says a build guide is included in the box.

Use 72306 as the set identifier: that is the number in LEGO’s official announcement and product listing. The PlayStation UK product page displays “Model Number – 72036,” but the source does not explain the conflict; it is not established as an alternate set number.
Independent reader supportYour contribution helps us test, update, and keep practical guides available for everyone.Why is LEGO framing it around nostalgia?
The product’s subject is the original PlayStation, while its scale, controller and hidden scenes recall hardware and games from the console’s early era. Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Steffi Steffen described the collaboration as a celebration of “the games, experiences, and the feelings of play we have shared as a community for over 30 years.” That is the makers’ framing of the set, not evidence of measured audience response or sales success.

For someone deciding whether it suits their collection, the practical considerations are the announced regional price, its 26 cm width, and whether the interactive details and Gran Turismo and Ape Escape scenes connect with their own gaming history.
