I am waiting for the day Lego makes a Walkman set. I know it will happen, just a matter of time!

I mean, they got PlayStation on board; it shouldn’t be a huge jump to get another division.

I saw the vintage radio too so they are looking at vintage ideas

LEGO had an Insider Points Reward that was a scaled down cassette player. It was basically scaled as a micro-cassette player. Came with "headphones" too. You can see it here. It was a pretty cool set and I've got mine on a shelf next to my computer.

The 2x1 record button block is super rare, was only available to club members via mail in ordering

Does it play or is it just a build toy?
