LEGO‘s “Arcade Pinball Machine” is officially arriving to bring a fully functional piece of retro gaming directly to the tabletop. Designed specifically for adult collectors, the complex new build utilizes intricate mechanical engineering to recreate a working pinball experience entirely out of bricks.
The physical construction of the set demands serious attention to structural details. Spanning exactly 2,274 pieces, the finished model measures over 9.5 inches in height and 15 inches in length. Rather than serving as a static display piece, the table is equipped with functional components, including a spring-powered ball launcher, dual mechanical flippers, spinning bumpers, and an up-and-over ramp bridge. The internal mechanics also reproduce the signature click and pop sounds associated with classic arcade cabinets.
Aesthetically, the table is heavily rooted in a nostalgic space theme. The playfield is decorated with retro-futuristic graphics and features a distinct progression system integrated directly into the mechanics. By successfully navigating the ball to hit the primary asteroid target, players can advance an integrated progress bar to reunite the included classic astronaut minifigure with the matching baby astronaut minifigure.
The LEGO “Arcade Pinball Machine” is available now via the brand’s official webstore.
