A seasoned journalist with over 15 years of experience in reviewing gadgets and technology, has always had a passion for electronics since childhood.
With 468 pieces, Lego’s upcoming Arcade Machine set is less complex than its iconic Pac-Man model but still promises plenty of fun. Scheduled for release on August 1, 2025, this 6-inch tall set will retail for $39.99.
Unlike the playable Pac-Man version, this arcade machine is not functional. However, it features an impressive array of details. The exterior showcases a mock Space game complete with tiny controls, authentic cabinet artwork, a marquee, and a coin slot that can actually take coins.
Upon opening the arcade machine, enthusiasts will find a miniature gaming room inside that includes a minifigure, assorted tiny consoles, a TV, and various decorations that nod to other Lego sets, like the Galaxy Explorer on a shelf. Additionally, a smaller arcade machine can be found within, featuring an online puzzle game called Junkbot, which was first introduced on Lego’s website back in 2001.
Fans will need to hold out until August 1 to experience Lego’s latest tribute to retro gaming.
