The LEGO Group today reveals the first-ever working LEGO® pinball machine, bringing retro arcade gaming to life in a fully functional brick-built model. The set combines authentic pinball mechanics with a playful space-theme and display appeal.
With 2,274 pieces, builders can construct a tabletop pinball machine featuring a spring-powered launcher, dual flippers, spinning bumpers and an up-and-over ramp bridge. Players can launch the ball and aim for targets across the playfield, including a mission to reunite an astronaut with a space-roving baby by hitting a key asteroid target. The integrated progress bar can be reset, allowing for repeat play.
$230, hits on July 1st.
I’d bet the Venn Diagram of Adult LEGO Collectors and Pinball Fans is almost a perfect circle. This is going to sell fast, me thinks.
