There's a hack for that..

"Does it have a MegaDrive sticker?"

Yes, it does!

Take a look at the back of the box."

According to the instructions there are actually three different stickers you can use for the logo (and nine corresponding face buttons). Not sure what the difference is between two of them; I’m guessing it’s for Europe and Japan, with some subtle difference between them?

It would seem the control pad START button also came in red and blue.
It'd be nice to have the 4211508 T-PIECE in either of those colours at some stage :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is a heck of a year for 80s/90s kids! Game Boy, Simpsons, Nike, and now Sega Mega Drive controllers!! *over the moon* :D p.s and let's not forget 40805

I was tempted to make a purchase until I saw the controller is all stickers.

It’s the GWP for the Mega Drive set with all the different attachments.

At least you can rest easy knowing there's a Sega Mark 3.

Isn't that what happened after the Dreamcast?

Before that surely they just add Numbers and call it Genesis 2, that could have been a Revelation. But this is a Job for better Judges than us, Acts like naming things biblically could cause an Exodus.

Darn it…. I wish I waited to get the 3in1 Castle. This is much better than anything Fortnite. Maybe Wall-E and the V-19 Torrent will find themselves in my cart…

Excludes preorders. Dang, that kind of kills it for me this time. Was holding off on the gameboy for this reason. I don’t recall ever seeing them state “excludes preorders” before.

You must've been devastated when Phil Collins took over.

Pick A Brick still has not been updated, a week into the month

I was completely assuming this would come later, as maybe a second controller alongside an actual yet-to-be-announced Lego Genesis console a la the NES and 2600... I guess now that I think about it, that doesn't make a lot of sense. Still, I don't know if I actually want just a random controller without a console.

Damn, I just got WALL-E and the Game Boy. Had I waited I would've met the exact threshold. What can ya do.

This is so shady of Lego, the Game Boy comes out in October and this deal excludes pre-orders, they know full well that those are complimentary sets.

They did, I think because preorders don’t ship right away, and they got sick of people complaining when the GWP ran out before they got one.

Luckily I needed to buy the Trevi Fountain which perfectly falls within the purchase threshold :)

Perfect GWP. Not essential but a very nice novelty. Got with 40805-1 and several other small sets I'd been waiting for a nice GWP to get with.

I would tell you the tales of the Console Wars, but they would turn your hair white. The scars, they tell me it's going to rain today.

Yeah. These sets neither compliment nor complement each other. It's just weird, man.

Only 5 face buttons? How can I play Street Fighter II': Special Champion Edition properly without 6 buttons?

If current GWPs can’t be added to pre-orders, you should certainly receive the active GWP at the time your pre-order ships. I pre-ordered Arkham Asylum weeks ago and didn’t qualify for any GWP, now it would qualify for this game controller but one didn’t ship with my order. What’s the point of pre-ordering if it excludes the order from promotions both at the time of order and at the time of shipping?

I'm very sad this is a GWP. The Sega Genesis was my very first console and a big part of my life.

I got very excited when I saw the reveal but then really crushed when I found out I have to spend over $130 to get it.

I just want to buy this and only this.

If you want to be the first or be sure the set you want isn't sold out/on backorder use pre-order.
You want GWP DON'T use pre-order
Simple

Looks like it's sold out in Europe?

Yeah it’s not available in the UK store. I was away for a few days this week so couldn’t order anything. Gutted to have missed it but I guess I’ll save my orders till there’s another offer then.

The pre-order not including GWP has been going on a while now so not new at all...
