LEGO Super Mario Nintendo Entertainment System 71374 — Retro NES & Crank TV Model, 2,646‑Piece Display Kit for Adults

This LEGO Super Mario set recreates the classic Nintendo Entertainment System and retro TV as a fully buildable, interactive display model for adults and collectors.

Capture the nostalgia of 1980s gaming with a detailed LEGO recreation of the Nintendo Entertainment System and a crank-operated TV screen that scrolls an 8-bit Super Mario scene. With 2,646 pieces, realistic console elements and an action brick that interacts with a LEGO Mario figure (sold separately), this kit blends model-building satisfaction with playful, programmable moments. It’s designed for mature builders who want a hands-on project that doubles as a conversation-starting display.

What features make this replica feel authentic?

The set reproduces key visual and mechanical details of the original NES: a cartridge slot that opens and locks, a textured controller with cable and plug, and console proportions faithful to the source. Attention to scale and finishing touches give the finished model the look of a museum-quality nostalgia piece.

• Buildable Game Pak slot with a working lock and eject-style mechanics
• Controller with cable and plug that connects to the console for realism
• Accurate surface textures, vents and sticker-free LEGO styling for display
• Included booklet explains the NES design and classic games for context

How does the TV screen and interactivity work with LEGO Mario?

The included TV model features a crank-driven scrolling screen that reveals an 8-bit Mario figure on a looping in-game scene. When you add a LEGO Mario figure from the Starter Course set, the figure can read the action brick on top and react to enemies, items and level changes, making the diorama come alive.

• Handle-operated scrolling screen shows changing on-screen action
• Action brick on the TV top communicates with LEGO Mario (figure sold separately)
• Physical movement plus digital figure reactions create hybrid play-display moments
• Kinetic elements are built from standard LEGO parts for durability

What are the build and display dimensions, and what does the set include?

Designed for adults and experienced builders, the finished TV measures roughly 22.5 cm high, 23.5 cm wide and 16 cm deep — sized to sit on a shelf or desk beside the console model. The set contains thousands of bricks and an illustrated booklet to guide the build and share background about the original hardware and classic titles.

• 2,646 pieces for a substantial, multi-session build
• TV dimensions: about 8" (22.5 cm) high by 9" (23.5 cm) wide by 6" (16 cm) deep
• Includes buildable NES console, retro TV with scrolling screen and a Game Pak
• Illustrated booklet with assembly guidance and historical notes

Do I need other sets to unlock all interactive elements?

Yes — to enable the electronic interactions you must pair this model with the LEGO Super Mario Starter Course (set 71360), which contains the LEGO Mario electronic figure. Without it, the model remains a richly detailed mechanical display with moving parts, but won’t register those digital reactions.

• LEGO Mario figure from set 71360 required for on-screen reactions
• Set functions mechanically as a standalone display without the figure
• Combining sets expands the interactive possibilities and replay value

Who is this for?

This kit is crafted for adult LEGO builders, retro gamers and collectors who enjoy long-form construction and museum-quality display pieces. It’s ideal as a DIY project afternoon, a thoughtful gift for someone who grew up with Super Mario Bros., or a stylish nostalgic centerpiece for a game room, study or office shelf.
