Before I knew it, I’d entered a Zen-like trance, where my mind was completely empty of any nagging thoughts other than “put these blocks together until you have something that resembles Nintendo’s iconic handheld”.

After about an hour of opening bags, skimming through the instructions, and finding the right brick for the job, I’d carefully pieced together LEGO’s surprisingly interactive version of the classic Game Boy we all know and love. It now sits proudly on top of my office cupboard, and was well worth the £50 asking price.

Check out the timelapse video above documenting my maiden LEGO build, complete with some recognisable Game Boy tracks to set the mood.
