Lego Pac-Man Arcade Is Available Now
Lego's Pac-Man Arcade, a very cool buildable replica of a countertop arcade cabinet, is now available via Lego VIP Early Access. Lego VIP is a free rewards program, so all you need to do is sign up for an account and register. The Lego Pac-Man Arcade will be available to everyone starting June 4.
Out of the box, you can use the 2,651 included pieces to construct the arcade cabinet, Pac-Man, his eternal maze, and the iconic ghosts who are always chasing him down.
Once completed, some of the features on this set include a light brick that illuminates the--thankfully non-functional--coin slot, a crank that allows you to simulate the classic gameplay and even a removable back panel that can be used to reveal the inner mechanics. As an additional and cute bonus, you can even build a mini-arcade that comes with a mini-figure and can be stored inside of the cabinet.
Pac-Man, Blinky, and Clyde form part of a miniature diorama that rests on top of the cabinet, showing off Bandai Namco's favorite mascot on the run from the ghosts. Or you can do a power pellet plot twist, and transform the ghosts into their more digestible blue forms as Pac-Man starts hunting them for a change.
If you'd prefer something more cinematic and bat-themed, Lego has you covered with its new $400 Batcave set. Based on the classic Tim Burton films and inspired by The Flash before it races into theaters, this isn't your standard batcave. Instead, this Lego set has a more compact design that can easily be displayed on a shelf and opens up to reveal the gothic design of Batman's cave from back when Michael Keaton was wearing the cape and cowl.
