This week, Lego unveiled a new pinball machine set that showcases a classic space theme. Priced at $230, the kit includes features such as a spring-powered launcher, dual flippers, spinning bumpers, and an up-and-over ramp bridge. While various designs have previously appeared online, this official version marks a significant addition to Lego's offerings.
The set is designed to be fully playable and aims to engage builders with interactive components and a mission progress bar. Anticipation surrounds how specific mechanics, like the spinning bumpers, will function in practice. Questions also arise regarding whether any unique pieces are included, although some new decorations, especially the themed decals, have been confirmed.
For those eager to purchase, the Lego pinball machine will be available to members of the Lego Insiders program starting on July 1, with general sales commencing on July 4. This launch adds a new dimension to the creative potential of Lego, encouraging enthusiasts to explore mechanical builds.
