LEGO Announces PAC-MAN Arcade Set

LEGO has been really appealing to video game fans in recent years, especially with the release of LEGO Mario sets. This year, LEGO is adding Sonic the Hedgehog and Donkey Kong and family to its lineup, and now it has announced the LEGO Icons PAC-MAN Arcade set. It’s a detailed recreation of the classic 1980s arcade game and it’s being announced on the same day the original game was revealed in 1980.

Along with the arcade machine, the set includes large colorful brick versions of PAC-MAN, BLINKY, and CLYDE that rotate on a base. There is also a small vignette hidden inside the cabinet, depicting a female minifigure playing PAC-MAN on an arcade machine. Once the set is fully built, users can light up the coin-slot.

The complete set measures approximately 12.5″ high by 10″ wide by 7″ deep once built and consists of 2,650 pieces. It has a retail price of $269.99 and LEGO VIP members will have early access to purchase it starting June 1, 2023. It will be available to the general public starting June 4, 2023.

Update June 1, 2023: The LEGO PAC-MAN Arcade Set is now available for VIP Early Access.

Update June 5, 2023: The LEGO PAC-MAN Arcade Set is now available for everybody!

“A cultural icon for the past 40 years, it was a delight to bring PAC-MAN to brick life. We are always looking for new and exciting ways to bring classic gaming experiences to life. Our team of talented designers worked tirelessly to capture the essence of the beloved PAC-MAN arcade machine in brick form, from PAC-MAN himself to the colourful, maze-like environment he inhabits. Every detail was carefully considered and crafted, resulting in a one-of-a-kind LEGO creation that captures the magic of the original game while adding a playful new twist and a couple of Easter eggs – in true video game style. We are thrilled to share this incredible build with the world and cannot wait to see the joy it brings to fans of all ages.”
