LEGO Arcade Pinball Machine Brings A Working Classic Space Table To Your Desk

LEGO is turning pinball into a brick‑built tabletop machine. The company has revealed the LEGO Icons Arcade Pinball Machine (11374), a 2,274‑piece set that assembles into a fully playable, Classic Space‑themed pinball table, complete with working flippers, a spring‑powered launcher, spinning bumpers, and a ramp bridge. It launches July 1, 2026 for LEGO Insiders, with a wider release on July 4 at $229.99.

The set is billed as LEGO’s first‑ever working pinball machine, designed as an 18+ Icons model that straddles the line between display piece and desk toy. Once built, the machine stands over 9.5 inches (24 cm) high, 15 inches (38 cm) long, and 11 inches (28 cm) wide, sized to live on a shelf or tabletop. Players manually launch the ball with a spring‑loaded plunger on the right side, then use mechanical flipper paddles to keep it in play as it bounces across obstacles, hits spinning bumpers, and races over an up‑and‑over ramp.

Visually, the table fits firmly into the retro LEGO Classic Space. The backbox and playfield are covered in space‑themed artwork and details, and the set includes two minifigures: a light blue Classic Space astronaut and a matching light blue “space baby,” both firsts for collectors. Hitting an asteroid target on the playfield triggers a simple narrative goal of reuniting the astronaut with the space‑roving baby before you reset the progress bar and start another game. LEGO is clearly positioning it as a companion piece to sets like the PAC‑MAN Arcade cabinet in the Icons line.

Mechanically, the set focuses on analog play, with no electronics involved. The flippers and launcher are fully manual, driven by LEGO Technic linkages hidden under the playfield, and there’s a spare ball included in case one goes missing mid‑party. Once you’re done playing, the model is meant to double as room decor; LEGO’s own description calls it a “standout centerpiece” for home or office setups, especially for fans of retro arcades and classic sci‑fi.

For LEGO Insiders, early access begins July 1 through LEGO.com and LEGO Stores. Everyone else can pick up the Arcade Pinball Machine starting July 4 at LEGO Stores and the official online shop, with pricing set at $229.99.
