Lego Game Boy 72046 vs Lego Icons Project Hail Mary

Buy the LEGO Game Boy if you want a hands-on nostalgia piece: it is a near 1:1 brick replica with working-feeling buttons, swappable Game Paks and lenticular screens, and it draws strong marks from a large pool of owners. Buy the LEGO Icons Project Hail Mary if you want a bigger, more involved build and a movie display centerpiece with two figures. The Game Boy is the more interactive and more widely reviewed set; the Hail Mary set is the larger build with more pieces and a taller footprint.

  • Choose the LEGO Game Boy if you want a buildable handheld you can press, swap cartridges on and show off as a Nintendo display piece.
  • Choose the LEGO Icons Project Hail Mary if you want a larger, more piece-heavy build tied to the film, with a Ryland Grace minifigure and a Rocky figure.

What people mention

  • Tactile featuresPraisedThe pressable buttons and rotating dials are frequently cited as the best part of the set.
  • FunctionalityMixedWhile the mechanical parts move, some users wish it had basic light-up or sound features.

Lego Icons Project Hail Mary

Questions and answers

Which is better for a Nintendo fan?
The LEGO Game Boy. It recreates the original handheld at near 1:1 scale with pressable buttons and swappable Game Paks, which the Hail Mary set does not offer.
Which is the bigger build?
The LEGO Icons Project Hail Mary. It has 830 pieces against 421 and stands over 12 in. tall, so it takes longer and occupies more shelf space.
Which has better owner feedback?
The Game Boy has a clear track record at 4.6 out of 5 from 2,281 ratings. The Hail Mary set has no comparable rating base yet, and buyer comments center on shipping rather than the build.
Is the Hail Mary set worth stepping up to?
Step up if you want a longer build, a taller display piece and two figures. Stay with the Game Boy if you want something you can press and swap parts on.
Do either of these actually play games?
No. Both are display models. The Game Boy's buttons and dials move, but it does not run Game Boy software.
Which is better as a gift?
Both are labeled 18+. The Game Boy suits a Nintendo nostalgia fan; the Hail Mary set suits someone who liked the film and enjoys a long build.
