LEGO PAC-MAN Arcade Review

The LEGO 10323 PAC-MAN Arcade is an unexpected LEGO release that packs a lot of what I really like about LEGO sets! Interesting builds with great play functions and hidden secrets! Minus the atrocious building steps... And the slightly steep price.

Thank you LEGO for sending this set for review. Views and opinions are my own.

here's a neat little fun fact: Inky moves around in the lower right corner, which is actually something that happens in game in the lesser known Scatter mode which intermittently happens during gameplay. if scatter mode lasted long enough, Inky would circle that specific block over and over.

I expected this to just be a static display piece but the motion actions?? Absolutely insane mechanics

[Nerdtendo]

This is one of those sets that is absolutely incredible when it shouldn’t even exist

The quality of Lego sets has gone up dramatically just within the last 5 years or so. I remeber that fans used to say, "Look at all these wonderful MOCs. Why can't official Lego products be THIS cool?" Lego is more expensive than ever yes, but starting maybe 3 years ago, starting round the time they started focusing more on Adults Welcome sets, people no longer say this because official Lego sets are staggeringly good these days.

Your reviews are quite detailed and very helpful.

This is probably the best usage of these Lego chains that I've ever seen. The grey chains on Mando's ship engines were cool, but this is truly a special and totally utilitarian use of the pieces for specifically what they are. Amazing.

Lego did a good job with this set! Definitely reminds me of the classic game.

At 5:19 when you talk about the direction of the crankshaft. Try mirroring the gear on the right so that you have "yellow+gear+gray+gray" instead of "gray+gray+gear+yellow". This should make them run the opposite direction. The other one cannot be mirrored, but that does not matter much.
Another fix would be to simply turn the tile with pacman printed 180 degrees to make him run forward instead of backwards.
Thanks for a nice review!

The out-of-the-box Lego sets are always my favorites to build. I loved the typewriter and piano and figuring out how what I was building was going to work in the final build.

The reason it seems to crank backwards is because there is error in the instructions. If you look at the photo on the box, the chain is applied the other way round, so it will go in correct direction.

As somebody who is obsessed with retro gaming this set is a must have for me! The mechanism looks absolutely amazing too!

I literally was just looking up reviews for this five minutes ago. THANK YOU!

Seeing those maze tiles makes me think we need a Tetris set. Not sure if tiles have been produced in the T and L shapes before, but it could be done.

[astahfirula]

Yeah, this is the kind of Lego that you cannot escape from. Very nice.

[TheLadsBandLive]

LEGO not pricing this at $256 is one of the all time biggest missed opportunities.

[brotherfromanotherbrick]

OMG, the mechanism is insane! Now I want the set even more.

[dcfavorite]

NES, Atari, and now Pac-Man, I love this! I hope Lego would get to Game Boy, Super Nintendo and perhaps the original PlayStation one day.

[legendsteph]

Great set. I am looking forward to see another one release the one with the big minifigure. Great review

[NevvDad]

In theory, couldn't you just rotate pac man 180 degrees so that he is chasing the two ghosts when you wind the crank clockwise?
