LEGO's first working pinball machine is a 2,274-piece Classic Space throwback
LEGO has built a lot of things, but a working pinball machine is a first. The LEGO Icons Arcade Pinball Machine (set 11374) is a tabletop pinball machine with real flippers, a spring-loaded launcher, and spinning bumpers — all built from standard LEGO bricks. It lands at $229.99 in the US and £189.99 in the UK, with sales starting in early July 2026.
The build
At 2,274 pieces, the set sits firmly in LEGO's adult-collector tier. The finished machine measures roughly 38 cm long, 28 cm wide, and 24 cm tall — desk-sized, not floor-standing. Mechanically, it has a pull-back launcher, two flipper buttons, spinning bumpers, and an up-and-over ramp bridge. There's also a built-in progress tracker you can reset between games.
The theme is Classic Space, LEGO's retro space line from the late 1970s and '80s. According to Stone Wars minifigure analysis, the set includes two exclusive minifigures: the first-ever Light Blue Classic Space astronaut and a new Light Blue Space Baby. For Classic Space collectors, those two figures alone are a draw. The gameplay loop leans into the theme — land the right shots and the astronaut reaches the Space Baby to complete a rescue.

Instructions come via the LEGO Builder app, which lets you rotate and zoom 3D step-by-step views and track progress through the build. That's a useful feature for a 2,274-piece set aimed at people who don't build LEGO regularly.
Availability and price
Per the LEGO official announcement, the set goes on sale exclusively through LEGO.com and LEGO Stores. LEGO Insiders members get early access from 1 July 2026; general release follows on 4 July. No third-party retail partnerships have been confirmed yet — LEGO typically expands distribution a few weeks after launch.
At $229.99 / £189.99, it sits in the mid-range of the Icons line. For context, the PAC-MAN Arcade (10323) is £349.99 and builds a full-size cabinet. This one is smaller and more playable — a tabletop object rather than a display piece. The exclusive minifigures and the "first-ever" status give it some collector appeal, which historically drives secondary market demand for Icons sets.
If you're a LEGO Insiders member, mark 1 July on your calendar. Stock on debut Icons sets tends to move quickly.
