LEGO Unveils New PlayStation Astro Bot Gift with Purchase Set

Astro Bot joins LEGO’s PlayStation lineup as a promotional Gift-with-Purchase: the 276-piece LEGO Astro Bot (40899) is a posable, ~8-inch display figure available with a qualifying $150 LEGO purchase.

Astro Bot is trading in his PlayStation controller for a pile of LEGO bricks, and the result is one seriously adorable gaming collectible. The new LEGO Astro Bot (40899) gives the PlayStation mascot a brick-built makeover, creating a colorful display piece that should fit right in with any gaming collection. Built from 276 pieces, Astro stands around 8 inches tall when completed and features a surprising amount of personality. His head and arms can be posed, while interchangeable eyes let collectors give him different expressions. An included cape and blue propulsion jets are also added, offering even more options for displaying Sony's little spacefaring hero.

Astro Bot isn't a traditional LEGO set sitting on store shelves, as LEGO will be dropping him as a new promotional gift-with-purchase. This means collectors must meet the $150 qualifying purchase threshold to bring him home. With LEGO expanding its PlayStation presence, this little Astro Bot makes for a fun companion piece, especially for fans already building out their gaming displays. Check out this new PlayStation Gift-with-Purchase set right now on the LEGO Store.
