LEGO Arcade Machine: a miniature arcade cabinet full of surprises

Following the success of the LEGO Atari 2600, NES, and the Pac-Man Arcade set, LEGO continues to delight retro fans with a brand-new build that will thrill pixel art and brick lovers alike: the LEGO Arcade Machine. A small arcade cabinet to assemble, full of charm and geeky references, available starting August 1st, 2025 for just €39.99.

A mini retro arcade… full of surprises

Made up of 468 pieces, this arcade cabinet stands about 16 cm tall and sports a distinct old-school style, with its red and black color scheme, colorful buttons, and a screen featuring a "Space Game" sticker. But the real surprise is hidden at the back: the cabinet opens like a dollhouse, revealing a tiny gaming universe inside.

Inside, you’ll find a gamer minifigure comfortably settled in a cozy retro room, surrounded by decorations, a couch, a CRT-style TV, and even… a mini LEGO arcade machine! A fun touch that will delight fans of playful displays.

Easter eggs for retrogaming fans

LEGO has packed this set with plenty of easter eggs for savvy builders. Among them:

A micro arcade cabinet paying tribute to Junkbot, a cult LEGO Flash game released in 2001.
A tiny Galaxy Explorer, a nod to the iconic LEGO Classic Space spaceship.
Posters referencing the world of Insectoids, a sci-fi LEGO theme from the late '90s.
Graphical elements that evoke legendary game consoles.

Altogether, this set turns into a true miniature museum of retrogaming… in bricks!

Available in August for €39.99

Offered at the very reasonable price of €39.99, the LEGO 40805 Arcade Machine set is aimed at both LEGO fans and retro gaming enthusiasts. Compact, original, and rich in detail, it will look great on a shelf, desk, or proudly displayed as part of any gaming collection.

Available starting August 2025 on LEGO.com and through official retailers, this set could well become a must-have for brick and pixel lovers alike — and let’s be honest, it might be a little easier to get approval for this in the living room than a full-size arcade cabinet…
