LEGO Officially Reveals New Playable Pinball Set

LEGO Officially Reveals New Playable Pinball Set

Well, the rumours and leaks were true. A couple of weeks ago, typical LEGO leakers teased the box of what looked to be an upcoming LEGO Pinball set, and they were right. Today, LEGO has officially revealed the all-new, playable LEGO Arcade Pinball Machine, coming in at £189/$249 featuring 2,274 pieces and an included "Space" minifigure.

This new set will be available to purchase on the 4th July 2026, though LEGO Insiders will be able to pre-order it a little earlier on the 1st July. It's a part of their Icons series, which means it's targeted at over 18-year-olds, indicating that it's going to be a challenging set, with many small components and even included springs to make the LEGO set feel and play like a typical pinball machine.

If you look closely at the images, you can see there's an actual ball that's used to play the Pinball set, and flipper buttons that can be triggered with the typical oversized buttons on the size. This set has a space theme alongside a mini minifigure. Yes, you read that right, there's a Space Minifigure and a Space Babyfigure? Basically a baby version of the Spaceman, adorable!

The design and colours used for this set are very retro, and for good reason, this set takes inspiration from classic 80s pinball machines. The more points you get by hitting the spinners, ramps and the asteroid, the more the space minifigure will move closer towards the baby, to protect it.
