Reliving the game time of the 1980s: Lego launched the retro classic "Pac-Man" building block set.
CTOnews.com, May 22 (Xinhua) in order to celebrate the 43rd anniversary of the birth of the classic arcade game Pac-Man in the 1980s, Lego Group has partnered with Bandai Namenggong to launch a new Lego icon series "Pac-Man" arcade set.
The set, made up of 2650 building blocks, can restore a real-scale Pac-Man arcade cabinet, including a glowing coin slot and a four-way rocker. There is a joystick next to the cabinet that allows players to control the movement of characters in the game maze. The set also includes a large yellow Pac-Man, Red Monster Lightning and Orange Monster Xiaoqiang, which can be rotated above the cabinet or displayed separately. In addition, a small scene is hidden inside the cabinet, showing a villain playing with a smaller arcade.
The Lego icon series "Pac-Man" arcade set will go on sale on June 4 for $269.99 (CTOnews.com Note: currently about 1895 yuan). Lego VIP members can buy in advance on June 1. This suit is designed for adult players over the age of 18 and is a tribute to the game culture of the 1980s.
Pac-Man is an arcade game first publicly tested by Bandai Namenggong (then called Namenggong) in Japan on May 22, 1980, and has since become a popular cultural symbol around the world. In the seven years since its release, Pac-Man has installed 293822 arcade devices, which is considered to be one of the most popular arcade games of all time. Interestingly, in today's announcement, Iwatani, the creator of Pac-Man, said that Pac-Man's yellow inspiration came from "the iconic yellow of Lego bricks".
Previously, Lego has launched a number of building block sets with the theme of Nintendo games, including red and white machines, question mark boxes, cool bullies and Super Mario.
