Play on as Lego Pac-Man is on its way
Today marks 43 years since Pac-Man was first unveiled to the world and in celebration of that, Bandai Namco and LEGO have teamed up to reveal a new Lego Pac-Man replica arcade cabinet, which has moving parts.
Much like the Nintendo Entertainment System set from a few years ago, this set has a crank on the side, that when you turn it, will ‘play’ a game on the device. You can see a little bit of it in action in the video above.
“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.”
Of course, the price and other details are as follows:
Dimensions: 32 cm high, 25 cm wide and 17 cm deep
2,650 pieces
Price: $399.99
Orders will be available direct from Lego starting on June 4th and while it is branded as a Lego Store Exclusive, there might be a handful of specality Lego stores that stock it, best check with your preferred though.
