Pac-Man x LEGO Collaboration
Available on June 4, 2023
On the 43rd anniversary of Pac-Man, Lego has announced a new premium set based on the 1980s classic. Lego gives tribute to one of the best arcade games of all time.
The 2650-piece set is made to seem like a Pac-Man arcade cabinet, complete with a mechanical chase, four-way joystick, and illuminated coin slot. Additionally, it features a crank on the cabinet's side that you can spin to move the game's characters around the maze as if you were playing a scaled-down version of the arcade cabinet.
This Pacman set costs $269.99 and will be available on June 4, 2023 at the Lego Website.
Fated Collaboration With Pac-Man With The Color Yellow
This is not Lego's first time recreating retro gaming consoles with Lego sets. Still, Lego designers believed recreating Pac-man was special because it was a game that didn't include violence, despite many computer games back then being usually about destroying things.
The question of what color of yellow to use for Lego Pac-man came up during the creation of the Pac-man Lego set. When working with Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc., they subsequently learned that the yellow used for Pacman was modeled after the hue of Lego bricks. This partnership was meant to be.
