Lego Releases a New Retro Radio Set: Here’s Where to Pick One Up Online

If you’re a Lego and music lover, the Danish construction toy company has a vintage radio model that intersects with two of your passions.

Exclusive to Lego.com, the Lego Retro Radio (item No. 10334) is a replica of a 1970s transistor radio. It’s priced at $99.99 and drops on Saturday, June 1.

The set comes with 906 Lego pieces that make up the retro radio. It features a clicky on-off switch, rotating dial and side-to-side sliders, a folding handle and adjustable antenna.

Although it might look like a vintage radio, it actually doesn’t play music or work like a transistor radio. However, it does mimic the sound effects of crackling, static and Lego weather reports and call letters with a special Sound Brick (batteries included). Just turn it “on” and spin the dial to find a radio station to play random catchphrases.

It also has a smartphone holder built in at its rear, so you can listen to your favorite songs and podcasts via your go-to streaming app, including Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and others. Unfortunately, the speakers in this set are non-working.

Meanwhile, if you’re looking for additional Lego sets for Father’s Day, we can recommend the Pac-Man arcade and Atari 2600 sets — both are great for retro dads.

Available on Saturday, June 1, the Lego Retro Radio — which is ideal for builders ages 18 and up — goes for $99.99 and comes in an aqua ice, soft mint, comfy tan and cuddle colorway.
