The latest Lego Icons set is a lovingly detailed replica of the classic Pac man arcade cabinet. The $269.99 Lego Pac-Man Arcade Set is available to Lego VIP members first (as is usually the case with new Lego releases), but everyone else can pick it up on June 4.
If you’re excited to add this new set to your growing collection of brick-based novelties, it’s worth noting that it’s free to become a Lego VIP member. If you’re one, you’ll get priority access to Lego sets like this one, as well as exclusive bonuses and reward points when you shop through the Lego online store or in stores.
While the 2,651-piece set features a lollipop-style articulating joystick, it’s not a fully functional replica of the arcade icon. A clever hand-operated crank on the side, however, provides an on-screen demo of the action, complete with a score tracker. Some other nice touches include a reversible marquee on the top of the cabinet and a light-up LED coin slot.
The Pac-Man Arcade cabinet is the most recent addition to the Lego Icons range, celebrating particularly important, or simply awesome, vehicles, landmarks, or pieces of architecture. Featuring some of our favorite sets from the Lego Icons catalog Lord of the Rings: Rivendell, The Atari 2600And The Ghostbusters Ecto 1.
