Lego unveils its first working pinball machine
SMRTR summary
A baby astronaut needs rescuing, and it's up to you and 2,273 Lego bricks to save the day.
Lego has unveiled its first-ever working pinball machine, the Lego Icons Arcade Pinball Machine, and it's exactly as delightful as it sounds. The space-themed set features spring-loaded ball launchers, functional flippers, spinning bumpers, and a ramp bridge. Hit the right asteroid target, and you'll reunite a lone astronaut with their tiny companion.
The 230-dollar set goes on sale to Lego insiders on July 1st, with general release following three days later. Builders who need a little help navigating all those pieces can turn to the Lego Builder app for 3D assembly guidance.
It follows other interactive Lego releases, like a Pac-Man arcade machine. Critics note the pinball set may have limited replayability, but as a display piece sitting on a shelf? It might just be worth every brick.
