Pinball machines have always intrigued me – the challenge of keeping the ball in play, trying to workout the powerups and bonuses. When I was younger this was generally limited to the one of day a year that we had takeaway fish and chips while on a beach holiday. At 20 cents per play, they were worth almost a week’s pocket money at the time. Smaller versions were built to appeal to the home play market – often including the flashing lights and bumpers of the full size arcade versions – all painted up with some retro colour scheme or pattern. And it is these vintage toys of the 70s-to90s that the LEGO Group is trying to capture with this latest icons set – 11374 Arcade Pinball Machine.

The set has 2272 pieces, a classic spaceman and space baby in pale blue. It will go on sale on July 1 2026, priced at $AUD349.99/ £189.99/ €209.99 / $229.99.

By adopting a ‘Space’ theme, and bringing in a new pale blue Spaceman and Space Baby, this is sure to be a hit with Space fans, yearning for the nostalgia of old style toys: this is certainly not a substitute for a full size Pinball Machine, but rather a toy version, as was frequently seen around in the 70s and 80s, and can still be found today, fully featured for a lower cost of investment (to be fair, the torso, legs and tanks have existed previously, but this one unites them all! ).

The LEGO Group today reveals the first-ever working LEGO® pinball machine, bringing retro arcade gaming to life in a fully functional brick-built model. The set combines authentic pinball mechanics with a playful space-theme and display appeal.

With 2,274 pieces, builders can construct a tabletop pinball machine featuring a spring-powered launcher, dual flippers, spinning bumpers and an up-and-over ramp bridge. Players can launch the ball and aim for targets across the playfield, including a mission to reunite an astronaut with a space-roving baby by hitting a key asteroid target. The integrated progress bar can be reset, allowing for repeat play.

This is an exciting looking set, and one I am looking to putting together later this week. I hope it can stand up to the rigors of tableotp play. It gives me the retro toy vibe rather than the full on pinball machine experiece, but I migfht stand to be corrected, once I get it built up and have a chance to play.
