Images of the upcoming Lego Pac-Man arcade machine have appeared online.
According to the images which are circulating on social media, the set appears to be the top half of a Pac-Man cabinet, and will also seemingly include a smaller model of Pac-Man and two ghosts.
The image, which is extremely blurry, is reportedly from an internal brief that Lego shares with retail partners in order to detail how sets should be displayed.

The set will reportedly cost $269.99 and feature 2650 pieces when it releases in June. The set appears to be based on the original yellow arcade cabinet art. From the images, there also appears to be a miniature build of a small Pac-Man cabinet alongside it.
The Lego Pac-Man Arcade machine is the latest in a growing line of gaming-themed Lego sets.
Since acquiring the Nintendo license, the company has produced the Lego NES, Lego Question Block, Lego Bowser, and numerous Lego Super Mario sets.
Several The Legend of Zelda sets have made their way to the final stage of Lego’s Lego Ideas program, which sees fan-designed sets be turned into retail products, such as the recent Sonic The Hedgehog sets, but the Zelda sets had always been rejected by Lego themselves, reportedly due to rights issues.
PlayStation‘s Horizon Forbidden West also received a set, which depicted the Tallneck featured in both games.
Earlier this week, four new Lego Sonic the Hedgehog sets were revealed. The four new sets will be released in August 2023 and feature Lego minifig versions of Sonic, Tails, and Amy.
The four confirmed sets are as follows:
- Sonic’s Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge – £99.99 / £94.99, contains Sonic, Amy, a loop, Eggman, two Badniks and four animals
- Sonic’s Speed Sphere Challenge – $34.99 / £24.99, contains Sonic, a spring, an arch, a ramp, one Badnik and one animal
- Tails’ Workshop and Tornado Plane – $39.99 / £37.99, contains Sonic, Tails, a workshop, a plane and one Badnik
- Amy’s Animal Rescue Island – $49.99 / £46.99, contains Amy, Tails, a piece of Green Hill Zone scenery, one Badnik and three animals
