Sony is selling the 276-piece Lego Astro Bot set standalone for $24.99 on PS Direct. Buyers can get the figure without purchasing the full Lego PlayStation set or meeting Lego's gift-with-purchase spend threshold.
Wrong: said the standalone Lego Astro Bot set was Coming Soon / temporarily unavailable with pre-orders expected October 4. Right: PS Direct was already selling it on October 1 for $24.99 / £17.99 (per Video Games Chronicle and other reports). The October 4 timing belonged to the larger Lego PlayStation set's general pre-order window, not the Astro Bot standalone listing.
The 276-piece model stands about 20cm tall and includes a fully poseable head and arms along with interchangeable eyes.
Customers who want only the Astro Bot figure can now purchase it directly instead of buying the larger set.
