The LEGO Arcade Machine set, a 468-piece build inspired by classic 1980s arcade cabinets, is currently on sale for $31.99, down from its usual $40 price tag. This set, which features a fictional top-down shooter game called "Space," is also slated for retirement, meaning its availability will be limited.
This particular LEGO set stands out from some of the brand's more high-end, licensed gaming builds like the LEGO PlayStation or LEGO Arcade Pinball Machine due to its more generic design, which helps keep the cost down. The set includes a minifigure designed to resemble a typical arcade-goer of the era, complete with two collectible coins to insert into the machine.
Beyond its exterior, the arcade cabinet opens to reveal a detailed gamer's room. This interior space includes a couch for the minifigure, a smaller arcade machine, a CRT television, gaming posters, and trophies. The set is intended as a display piece for desks or bookshelves.
Additionally, purchases of the LEGO Arcade Machine set currently grant double LEGO Insider points. This promotion means buyers will receive 416 LEGO points instead of the standard 208, which can be accumulated and used for future discounts or exclusive sets. Interested buyers are encouraged to make their purchase soon, as the discount's duration is uncertain and the set is retiring.
