The first Lego esports set has hit toy shelves in the form of a mobile gaming tournament vehicle, featuring a casters, players, weapons, a screen and a trophy.
The Lego City Gaming Tournament Truck (60388) launched on January 1st 2023 priced at £39.99.
Lego says on its website that it’s a playset for those aged 7+, but it clearly looks to us like it’s also suitable for editors of esports news sites aged 37+ too.
This truck, consisting of 344 pieces, is reminiscent of Big Betty, a gaming truck that doubles up as a mobile esports arena and has appeared at events like Insomnia Gaming Festival, and the Gamersbus set ups from Fragers.
The Lego esports set features a few minifigures – a caster, two players and a fan – plus a trophy, monitors and screens, merch, and the truck itself. The game characters on the screen look like they’re straight from a MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) game like League of Legends or Dota 2, or a fighting game.
Lego said on the gaming tournament truck’s product page:
“The Lego City Gaming Tournament Truck is loaded with equipment for staging imaginary gaming competitions.”

“Kids can animate the gaming action on the toy stadium screen and adjust the progress bar for the competing minifigures to ramp up the excitement.”
In terms of dimensions, the truck Lego esports set measures 13cm high, 33cm long and 6cm wide.
This Lego esports set is being stocked by several retailers in the UK, including Argos, Smyths Toys, John Lewis, Zavvi and more.
The gaming tournament truck is one of several new Lego City vehicle sets that have launched for 2023, including a recycling truck, custom car garage, off-roader adventures, construction digger, penguin slushy van, vet van rescue and electric sports car.
Now, when are we getting that full esports arena set then, Lego?
