This working vintage style radio looks like a blast to build.

Lovers of vintage radios, rejoice. This LEGO Retro Radio brings all of the nostalgia of a 1950s radio to life, brick by brick. But aside from the retro appearance, this 906-piece set brings a number of surprises to it.

From a fully working “sound brick” that plays AM/FM sounds and snippets to a working dial, the radio serves as a functional piece as well as a fun build.

Additionally, the set doubles as a smartphone stand, and your phone fits inside it nicely, letting you play any media out of the radio’s retro shell.

Available for $99, the set looks like a great addition to your collection.
