LEGO’s buildable Retro Radio actually plays music thanks to a sound brick

May 9, 2024 | 12

LEGO continues its obsession with brick-built retro objects with the LEGO Icons 10334 Retro Radio, set to be released on 1 June 2024.

For the young ones, back before Spotify, iPods and Walkmen, we had to get our music through the radio waves, played back on these delightfully charming devices called Radios!

This 906-piece creation also comes with a sound brick to play pre-recorded sounds, and if that isn’t enough, you can also slot your phone in and turn this into your very own brick-built speaker to play music or your favourite podcasts!

This is kinda neat and I love the design, especially the suitably retro mint colour scheme.

It should complement the LEGO 21327 Ideas Typewriter and 21345 Polaroid OneStep Camera if you enjoy retro technology made from LEGO.

Here’s the compartment to store your phone in, which allows you to play music from this retro radio. Pretty cool and if you have any spare unused mobile phones, you could place it in here permanently if you want to be real hipster about playing your favourite songs through a retro LEGO radio.

So yeah, LEGO have definitely identified a niche of people interested in retro brick-built technology, and this could make a decent gift for mum or dad, especially if they’ve spent much of their youth listening to the radio.

10334 Retro Radio will be released on 1 June 2024 from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store.
