The Lego Atari 2600 is discounted to $160 at Amazon and Target this week. Normally $240, the 2,532-piece Lego set is routinely sold out at major retailers, so we wouldn't be surprised to see both retailers sell out before the promotion officially ends. The Atari 2600 is one of 60-plus Lego sets on sale for at least 20% off at Target this week.
The Atari 2600 is most affordable of the three Lego sets celebrating retro video game hardware. The Nintendo Entertainment System and Pac-Man Arcade kits very rarely budge from their $270 price points. Target has the Lego NES listed for a slight discount right now--Amazon sold out at the same price.
