LEGO revealed the PlayStation Astro Bot (40899) as an upcoming Gift With Purchase (GWP). The set contains 276 pieces and is marketed to adults ages 18 and up. It recreates PlayStation's mascot as a display figure rather than a minifigure, intended for a bookshelf, office, or game room.
The Astro Bot model is a small, articulated figure with several display-friendly features:
- Fully posable arms and head for dynamic poses.
- Swappable eye elements to change expressions.
- Cape and blue propulsion jets consistent with the character's look.
- A stand included for stable display on desks or shelves.
LEGO describes the set as designed for adults 18+, positioning it as a collectible or desk ornament for PlayStation fans and LEGO collectors. The size and styling fit a decorative role rather than play-focused modular builds.
LEGO did not publish final GWP purchase requirements at the initial reveal. Reporting and retailer listings in the same coverage window indicate a likely threshold near $150 / €150 and around £135. Media outlets and retailer notices tie the Astro Bot release to the launch of the PlayStation 72306 set, suggesting the GWP would become available in early October, with some retailers indicating October 1 as the start date.
Beyond LEGO retail channels, PlayStation Direct listings have appeared that pair the Astro Bot GWP with purchases of the 72306 PlayStation set. Those listings show thresholds matching the rumored amounts in some markets. Availability and exact qualification rules may vary by region and retailer, and specifics were still being confirmed at the time of reporting.
