Lego has announced the release of a Pac-Man arcade set, bringing the iconic yellow dot-chomper to life in brick form. The set faithfully recreates a classic arcade machine, complete with Pac-Man’s maze, a joystick, and a coin slot. It also includes a miniature diorama of an ’80s gamer dominating the arcade and a larger set of Pac-Man, Blinky, and Clyde figures to adorn the cabinet. Builders can even simulate gameplay with a crank on the machine.
This Lego release adds to the company’s line of nostalgic sets, which includes Batman Returns, Indiana Jones, and Mario-themed sets. The Pac-Man arcade set combines a loving homage to the character and the arcade experience. Lego designer Sven Franic expressed excitement about capturing the essence of the beloved Pac-Man arcade machine, creating a unique Lego creation that captures the magic of the original game.
Coinciding with the 43rd anniversary of the game’s release, Lego timed its announcement to celebrate Pac-Man’s enduring legacy. Despite the closure of Pac-Man’s battle royale game, the yellow dot-chomper remains recognizable to new generations of gamers. The Pac-Man Arcade set will retail for $269.99, with VIP Early Access starting on June 1 and general preorders opening on June 4. Lego enthusiasts and Pac-Man fans of all ages can look forward to experiencing the joy of building and playing with this nostalgic creation.
