World’s First LEGO Game Boy With a Real Nintendo Inside (Work in Progress Build Log)

I managed to snag the LEGO Game Boy set early off eBay — before its official release date in October 2025.
My goal? To fit an original Nintendo Game Boy inside it, making this the first of its kind in the world.
This is a live build log, updated as I go. Stay tuned for photos, updates, and the final reveal!
