Okay, so LEGO is doing this awesome promo in September 2025 that’s hitting all the nostalgia buttons for us ’90s kids. They’re giving away a LEGO Sega Genesis Controller (set 40769) for free with any order over $130 – but not pre-orders – until September 17th. They had it going with the new Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship, but that sold out fast! Now, they just launched the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory set (21360) today for LEGO Insiders, and it’s $219.99. I’m grabbing mine now, because I don’t want to miss out like I did with the pirate ship! And hey, you can snag that Genesis controller with it, which is pretty sweet.
This LEGO set lets you build a detailed replica of a Sega Genesis controller with 260 bricks. You can display it as a classic controller, or flip it over to reveal a tiny recreation of the iconic Green Hill Zone, complete with Sonic and Crabmeat. If you’re a LEGO and gaming enthusiast – especially if you’ve been collecting LEGO gaming sets like the new Game Boy – this is a perfect piece for your collection.
Plus, you don’t need a LEGO Insiders account to get this free gift, and it applies to all LEGO sets – not just the Sonic the Hedgehog ones. You can browse new LEGO sets here and popular sets here. We’ve also included a list of some of the newest top-rated sets for September 2025 below to help you reach the $130 spending requirement.
