The LEGO Arcade Machine Set Hides a Gaming Lair Inside
Michael Hemsworth — July 3, 2025 — Life-Stages
The LEGO Arcade Machine set has been announced by the building block brand as one of its newest upcoming releases that aims to satisfy fans of the golden era of arcade gameplay.
The set comes in with 468 pieces that will combine to create a six-inch tall arcade cabinet that mimics the likeness of a traditional arcade game, albeit in a non-functioning, artistic way. The cabinet, however, will open up to reveal a minifig in its own basement gaming lair as a nod to the classic experience of playing classic games from home. The arcade case also features coin slots that can be used with miniature faux coins.
The LEGO Arcade Machine set is priced at $39.99 and will be available directly from the brand's website starting August 1, 2025.
