LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog 40769 SEGA Mega Drive Controller GWP Rumoured For 8th September 2025

Another nostalgic treat is reportedly on the way for Sonic fans and retro gamers alike, as 40769 SEGA Mega Drive Controller is rumoured to be available as a Gift With Purchase starting from next month. Once LEGO has celebrated Back to Hogwarts day, the latest LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog branded model will be available from the 8th to the 17th of September 2025 with any LEGO purchases over $130.

With 260 pieces included, the GWP recreates the iconic three-button SEGA Mega Drive (also known as the Genesis in North America) in brick-built LEGO form. Just like previous LEGO controllers, including 72046 Game Boy, which releases in October, we can expect an extremely detailed, display-worthy brick-built interpretation which reportedly measures around 15 x 10 cm.

The LEGO SEGA Mega Drive Controller includes the controller's main features such as the D-pad, its three circular buttons (A, B and C) and overall rounded shape. Being an 18+ model, a small stand is included to display the controller along with interchangeable stickers letting fans choose between a full "SEGA Mega Drive" logo or a simpler "SEGA" branding.

The coolest and most colourful feature of 40769, however, has to be the ability to open up the brick-built controller. Here, builders will be able to find a miniature Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone in a very similar fashion to 2022's 10306 Atari 2600.
