LEGO has confirmed the LEGO Astro Bot set as a free gift with purchase for the new LEGO PlayStation (72306). The 276-piece set, numbered 40899, now has a listing on the official LEGO online store, days before the PlayStation set goes on sale. The LEGO Astro Bot set will not be sold on its own, which ties it directly to the LEGO PlayStation launch.
Here is everything confirmed so far about the LEGO Astro Bot set, including its pieces, price, release date, and how to get it.
What Is the LEGO Astro Bot Set?
The LEGO Astro Bot set is a brick-built display model of PlayStation’s mascot from Team Asobi’s platformer series. It is listed on the official LEGO store as a gift-with-purchase item for adults aged 18 and up.
Builders can turn the head fully and move the arms for different poses. The eyes swap between round and half-moon shapes to change his expression, and the display can be customized with propulsion effects, a cape, and stickers. A display stand lets you pose Astro Bot flying, falling, or gliding. The finished figure stands about 8 inches tall.

How to Get the LEGO Astro Bot Set for Free
The only way to get the LEGO Astro Bot set is to buy the LEGO PlayStation (72306) during the promotion. Follow these steps:
- Create a free LEGO Insiders account on LEGO.com before launch.
- Order the LEGO PlayStation set when Early Access opens on October 1.
- Check your cart to confirm the Astro Bot gift has been added before you pay.
LEGO sets usually go live at 12:01 a.m. local time on launch day, and past gift-with-purchase items have often sold out quickly, sometimes before the main set. Ordering during the Insiders window gives buyers three extra days of access.
LEGO has not yet published a full end date or regional terms for the offer. Buyers should check the promotions page on LEGO.com on launch day for final details.

What Comes in the LEGO PlayStation Set?
The 1,911-piece set recreates the original PlayStation console and its first controller at near 1:1 scale. The console has working Open and Power buttons, and the controller plugs into the front.
Inside the console are two hidden dioramas: a mini Gran Turismo track with tiny cars, and an Ape Escape scene with the game’s red or blue monkey helmet. Both can be stored inside the console or displayed next to it.
Where Can You Buy the LEGO PlayStation?
The set will be sold through three main channels:
| Store | Start Date |
|---|---|
| LEGO.com (Insiders Early Access) | October 1, 2026 |
| LEGO.com and LEGO Stores (everyone) | October 4, 2026 |
| direct.playstation.com | October 1, 2026 |
The PlayStation Blog announcement confirms that PlayStation Direct will sell the set from October 1 in the US, UK, France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
Some reports say the Astro Bot gift also applies to orders from direct.playstation.com. Other reports tie the offer to LEGO’s own stores and website only. Buyers who want the gift should confirm it appears at checkout on whichever store they use.
Can You Buy LEGO Astro Bot Separately?
No. LEGO has not announced a standalone release. LEGO does not sell gift-with-purchase sets as individual products, and they are normally available only through a promotion.
Past gift sets have sold for high prices on resale sites. When LEGO offered a Kanto Region Badge Collection with its Pokémon set, eBay listings ranged from $175 to $300.
Astro Bot’s History at PlayStation
Astro Bot first appeared in The Playroom on PS4 in 2013. He later starred in Astro Bot Rescue Mission (2018) for PlayStation VR and Astro’s Playroom (2020), which comes preinstalled on every PS5. The 2024 game Astro Bot was released for PS5 to mark PlayStation’s 30th anniversary and became the highest-rated game of 2024 on Metacritic. It also won Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024.
The LEGO Astro Bot set joins a growing list of LEGO gaming tie-ins, which already includes sets based on Nintendo and Minecraft, along with the survival game LEGO Fortnite.
