The Golden Age of Arcade Games: Announcing the 18+ PAC-MAN Arcade Set (10323)

Expanding on their exhilarating range of video game-themed sets, LEGO introduces another retro addition: a LEGO version of the timeless Pac-Man game. Adding to the excitement of the upcoming LEGO Sonic the Hedgehog sets, the long-rumored 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade is now officially joining the 18+ LEGO Icons theme.

This highly detailed, immersive set is slated for release on 4th June 2023, retailing at £229.99 / $269.99 / €269.99. With 2,651 pieces, the model offers a substantial building experience, as showcased by the official images revealed today.

The PAC-MAN Arcade set closely parallels the design aesthetics of the 71374 Nintendo Entertainment System, another 18+ video game-themed LEGO set. However, the star of the show here is the iconic yellow 8-bit character, Pac-Man, depicted as a 1x1 printed round tile.

This miniature hero can be manoeuvred around the brick-built arcade machine level, akin to the actual game, by using a side-mounted crank, while the front joystick is a decorative feature.

Adding to the arcade vibe, two additional smaller builds come with the set. First, a rotating black base showcases brick-built figures of Pac-Man and two ghosts, coloured red and orange. Rotating the base 180 degrees turns the ghosts blue, mirroring the game's mechanics.

Secondly, an exclusive minifigure scale scene is included, featuring a lone minifigure engrossed in playing the Pac-Man machine. Alongside, a gumball machine and a stool for the minifigure to rest add extra authenticity to the arcade atmosphere.

All of these elements, promising a nostalgic trip down memory lane, are included in the 2,651-piece PAC-MAN Arcade set, set to release in a week's time.
