LEGO’s retro radio is finally on sale. Here are the highlights of this kit, how much it costs, and where you can grab it.
LEGO’s catalog features a variety of retro-inspired sets, each designed to elicit a feeling of nostalgia. Among these are the LEGO Creator 3in1 Retro Camera and Retro Roller Skate sets, LEGO Ideas Polaroid OneStep SX-70, and the LEGO Icons Atari 2600.
LEGO has now introduced another set that exudes old-school cool. It comes in the shape of a retro radio and, what’s more, it plays music.
Where to buy the LEGO Icons Retro Radio
This set is exclusive to the LEGO Store. The sets costs $99.99, but it also offers an authentic design and heaps of display value.

Inspired by vintage radios, assembling this 906-piece Icons set will transport adults aged 18 and up back to the frequencies of the ‘70s. A noteworthy addition to this kit, it includes a sound brick, which, with the turn of a dial, plays a selection of music snippets and sound effects.
However, if you prefer listening to more modern music, you can tune in via your smartphone. Removing the rear panel reveals a compartment for the latter. A speaker isn’t included, though, so you’ll have to put your smartphone on full blast.
You can always incorporate a small Bluetooth speaker into the back, too. Now there’s an idea.

Remaining faithful to old-school radios, the model features an antenna, rotating dials, a sliding frequency switch, and a fold-up carrying handle.
The completed model stands 12 inches tall, nine inches wide, and two-and-a-half inches deep. Considering its realistic design and size, it will make for a great display piece, whether it’s in your living room, bedroom, or office. In addition, with its retro-inspired hues, the kit is sure to add a pop of color to any of these environments.
