Enthusiasts can now purchase the official Xbox 360 Collector Building Set, a 1,342-piece model, for $100, a significant $50 reduction from its original $150 price. This detailed replica, a collaboration between Mega Bloks and Microsoft, is available at major retailers. Part of the Mega Showcase Collector series, this 3:4-scale model of the Xbox 360`s initial release is designed for adult collectors. It comes in packaging that mirrors the console`s original box and features several interactive elements.
Since its debut in October 2023, the Mega Showcase Xbox 360 has rarely been discounted, making this current offer its lowest price ever.
Beyond the console replica, the set includes components to construct a detachable hard drive, an Xbox 360 controller, and a miniature Halo 3 game box. A unique feature allows you to open a side panel and insert a replica Halo 3 disc into the console`s disc reader. Once the disc is in place, the Cortana chip on the motherboard glows. Additionally, the Xbox Guide button can be illuminated by installing a removable battery pack.
The console`s front power button also lights up, reassuringly without the infamous `Red Ring of Death` error indicator.

For fans of the Halo series, a 609-piece Guilty Spark display model is available at a significantly reduced price. This detailed replica includes LED lights and a speaker that plays 15 different in-game phrases.
