I am saying it loudly and proudly: I am old enough to have played PACMAN when it originally launched! Yikes! And to have an opportunity to build my retro machine in LEGO, WOW!

Please note: Whilst based on a real 1980s arcade game cabinet, this is NOT a functional game, but you can simulate the chase with the mechanical maze.

Undoubtedly, PAC-MAN is one of the greatest arcade games ever created. Originally released in 1979, its lead designer, Toru Iwatani, envisioned a game that would embrace inclusivity and captivate players of all backgrounds.

In PAC-MAN, your objective is to skillfully navigate a maze, devouring PAC-DOTs, POWER PELLETs, fruits, and other enticing items while evading the pursuit of four colourful ghosts. The exhilaration of completing each maze is as gratifying as the iconic bleeping sound effects accompanying your progress.

While the game enjoys immense popularity in modern times, nothing compares to the original coin-operated arcade version. It holds a special place in gaming history, serving as a timeless testament to the enduring appeal of Pac-Man's gameplay and its remarkable impact on the gaming industry.

Inside the LEGO Icons PACMAN box, you'll find everything needed to bring the PAC-MAN Arcade cabinet to life, along with a display case showcasing rotatable figures of PAC-MAN, BLINKY, and CLYDE. Additionally, the set includes a 1980s arcade scene featuring a gaming minifigure.

Immerse yourself in retro features as the cabinet boasts a 4-way joystick, an illuminating coin slot, an adjustable game score display, and a mechanical maze that faithfully recreates the classic chase between the beloved game characters.

This set feature 2651 pieces and will be released on June 4.
