Well, what do you know? There is another pinball machine that is also more affordable, at least in the pinball machine sense, and takes up less space, too. This time, it is from LEGO. That’s right. LEGO now has a playable pinball machine.
Simply called the LEGO Icons Arcade Pinball Machine (11374), it uses 2,274 pieces to recreate the retro game machine, featuring a playful space theme and two minifigures: a classic space astronaut and a baby astronaut.
When completed, the model measures 28 cm (11 inches) wide, 38 cm (15 inches) deep, and 24 cm (9.5 inches) tall, and boasts a spring-powered launcher, dual flippers, spinning bumpers, and an up-and-over ramp bridge in a space-themed setup.
The working pinball machine invites you to hit the asteroid target to reunite the astronaut with the space-roving baby. Once the objective is achieved, you can reset the progress bar and start over again. A spare ball is included, just in case, you know, you misplace it.
Like the model kit from Rokr we saw earlier, this one is as good for play as it is for display. However, it is missing lights and sound, which are part and parcel of a pinball machine. Anyhoo, it is a good addition for collectors who are building up a brick-built arcade.
Anyhoo, the LEGO Icons Arcade Pinball Machine (11374) is set to drop on July 4, 2026, for US$229.99.
