After releasing a similarly-themed puzzle kit, Bandai recently introduced a new version of the venerable Millenium Puzzle from Yu-Gi-Oh! With the soon-to-be-released ‘Millennium Puzzle Complete Edition,’ an interactive mechanism has been added to the puzzle kit's design. The kit is coated in a brilliant gold-plated material, and after all the pieces have been assembled, lighting and sound effects are activated.
Six built-in LED lights are included on the front, left, and right of the ‘Millennium Puzzle Complete Edition.’ The voice of Yami Yugi, the Pharaoh's theme, and BGM are some of the sound effects produced by the collectible toy. Each ‘Millennium Puzzle’ comes with a leather chain necklace similar to Yugi Moto’s and a display base.
The 'Millennium Puzzle Complete Edition' is now available on the Premium Bandai website for preorder until March 9, 2023, with delivery scheduled sometime in July 2023.
