Halo 3. That’s right. You can actually build your own version of Master Chief’s 2007 adventure, as originally spotted by <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="

It has a removable hard drive, working lights, an interactive interior and a moving disc drive. Mega says there are even more easter eggs for true Xbox die-hards, suggesting that something happens when you insert the fake
Halo 3 disc into the fake disc drive.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>The kit includes nearly 1,400 pieces, so the build should take a while, allowing you to revel in the halcyon glow of the mid 2000s. Mega Blok says this set is for ages 18 and up. It releases on October 8 and costs $150, which is half as much as a bare-bones Xbox 360 cost back in 2005. This isn’t the first gaming-themed building set by Mega Blok. In the past, it’s released sets <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="

The 360 sold 85 million units throughout its run and had a truly impressive games catalog, from the first two Gears of War entries to the Mass Effect trilogy. The console also saw the release of
Skyrim, GTA IV, Halo 3 and a whole bunch of Call of Duty
games. Did we mention
Crackdown, Alan Wake and
Bioshock? It was a good time to be a gamer.</p><p><core-commerce id="0d28c6fdadee468a910490f82edd6370" data-type="product-list"></core-commerce></p><p></p>This article originally appeared on Engadget at
