Although it launched quite a few months ago in other markets, the very neat-looking MEGA Showcase Microsoft Xbox 360 buildable model has finally landed in Aussie stores.
This 3:4 scale replica from MEGA is a pricey but genuinely cool little kit that not only allows Xbox 360 fans to build a blocky model of the iconic first iteration of the console and controller, but it also includes a replica Halo 3 game and disc that you can actually place inside the console’s “disc drive” to activate its “motherboard” and working lights. There’s actually a fair amount of internal detail on display when you open it up to put the disc inside, and it even comes in the classic original Xbox 360 packaging. I think that’s pretty neat.
The MEGA Showcase Microsoft Xbox 360 is in-stock and available right now at Big W stores and the official Mattel online store, and EB Games is also taking pre-orders for shipments expected in May. You can find those links below:
- Big W – MEGA Showcase Microsoft Xbox 360 – $199 (available now)
- Mattel – MEGA Showcase Microsoft Xbox 360 – $199.99 (available now)
- EB Games – MEGA Showcase Microsoft Xbox 360 – $199 (shipping in May)
