At 468-pieces it’s no where near as elaborate as Lego’s buildable Pac-Man machine, but this 6-inch tall Arcade Machine set will only set you back $39.99 when it launches on August 1st, 2025.

At this scale Lego wasn’t able to make this arcade machine playable like Pac-Man is, but it still managed to include some fun details. On the outside the machine features a generic Space game with tiny controls, matching cabinet artwork, a marquee, and a coin slot that actually accepts coins.

Opening the arcade machine reveals a miniature gaming room inside with a minifigure, several tiny consoles, a TV, and lots of decor highlighting other Lego sets, including the Galaxy Explorer sitting on a shelf. You’ll also find an even smaller arcade machine inside featuring an online puzzle game called Junkbot that was originally available to play on Lego’s website back in 2001.
