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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Your reviews are quite detailed and very helpful.

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

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

I want this lego set so bad

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?

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!

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.

Gotta love that function

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.

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!

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

The chain mechanism in genius!

I don't know why KZfaq threw me into this corner of the site but I love this. I would never have believed that not only would Pac-Man get an incredible lego set but that they'd pour so much love into the designs. Pac-Man absolutely deserves this kind of awesome stuff.

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

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.

lego icons/creator expert continues to prove it's the best product line

4:12 I'm sure this has occurred before, with one of the larger sets? maybe Titanic, Colosseum, etc.

I just wish the minifigure-scale arcade machine was available separately.

As someone who spends most of my time playing games, I really like it when LEGO releases sets based around gaming. I’ve already started building the set and I am thoroughly enjoying it (building the same thing 64 times doesn’t bother me as I built the Eiffel Tower).

Utterly brilliant. Hats off to the designers

This is what I want, A REVIEW!

The old age question of- ‘is it just worth buying the real thing over Lego’ 😂

Really love the look of it. Plus the great mechanics..But the big turning pacman on top of the arcade is the only thing I really want...

7:29 I know that $270 is a bit overpriced but the Nintendo system costs the same price currently with the price increase

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

I really appreciate your reviews specially about the set I already like it makes me like them even more. Great video as usual

epic videos mate. Clear, concise and to the point. It also helps you literally worked for LEGO. Thanks for being an ambassador to the community.

Lifelong Pac-Man fan here... this is gorgeous and very surprising that it exists at all. Video game fans are totally eating in the modern day. We got Mario, Atari, Sonic.. and this?! What?! So cool. Main criticism for many must be that's a way too expensive set (prohibitively, really!), as always with the Lego Company which continuously deeply disappoint me as a business with over-charging for their plastic despite them often delivering great quality and stunning creativity. Cool video, subbed!

Been waiting for this one

I’ve never seen a number go this high in lego building instructions! Lego Art & Technic Fans:

I've found that the NES jams because the clear disk behind Mario is being pushed right up against the screen and so is jams if the screen is uneven. A very simple fix for this is to move the whole Mario assembly away from the screen a little to give the disk some clearance. This does require you to remove a piece or two from the screen cover but it's not noticeable from the outside at all. This is one of the best sets ever made in my opinion so it's really is a shame about that price. Hopefully it gets discounted sooner rather than later. I do wish it used more prints though like the NES did, but I completely understand the use of stickers for the large tiles. As someone who's wanted to use those linked chains in builds but just found them too annoying to integrate them into the main LEGO system, that new link piece is incredible. There's as infinite amount of possibilities from the existence of that piece. I like what I'm seeing with the rise of gears and mechanisms in normal LEGO sets like in this and the new Friends beach set. I also love how both sets are designed to easily be able to see the actual mechanism to appreciate the engineering involved in getting it to rn.

Another fantastic video Tiago 😀😀. That is such a great set. So many memories of the original game. Andcthecplay features are great 🎉🎉

Tiago: uploads video Me: rushes to watch it immediately lol great work as usual.

Amazing engineering! Shame about the very high price. (Well, that applies to pretty much everything LEGO these days...) I'm an OG who remembers the arcade PAC-MAN units in the local pizzaria in 1981. I can still recall munching on my pepperoni pizza while hearing the constant WAKA-WAKA-WAKA-WAKA going on in the background. Good times.😎

I have the pacman and the nes and can completely relate to the way the nes jams. Pacman is indeed more refined. Love both sets!

Nice work Tiago keep up the useful reviews

Not quite building the same structure more than 64x, but the building instructions for the Eiffel Tower ask you to place a round one-stud piece 144x in a single step, 263. In step 80, you do have to build 48 mini-lamps with 3 pieces each, and in step 336 you have to snap into place and align 72 rods, so you may want to steer clear of that set, as you have so far :-). I actually did not find it too boring, by spreading the build over several weekends and listening to my favorite tunes on the more repetitive parts. The final result is monumentally fantastic and I haven't gotten tired of admiring it almost 6 months later!

It's kind of amusing how Pac-Man's color scheme, specifically his shade of yellow was chosen based on Lego brick colors and now there's a Pac-Man Lego set.

Great review on this one! Thanks Tiago!

That mechanism blew me away!!! Wow!

7:08 that modular builing is so beautiful!

I just got finished building it today, and I can say that the worst part was putting 128 of the same pieces together for 20 minutes. Apart from that, I really enjoyed it!

This entire video has been me just going "oh wow, that's so cool! But how much is this set gonna cost..." over and over again

I love watching your videos!

Nice review mate, now im really hyped to check it lol myself

when you also take into consideration the custom pieces and the prints it makes more sense why it's that pirce. Plus the work done by the engineers to make it work.

I like that review is honest as always 😊

2:44 ok this is amazing lol

Great review, thanks.

Looks amazing. Another one I wasn’t planning on but think I now want lol

Omg he functions are soo cool

This is just brilliant!

Wow such a cool set!

Definitely picking this up

Wow, that looks incredible

I would LOVE to see a 3re party option to replace the crank with a motor, switch and battery or USB plug to let it just keep running. Also an 3rd party sound module that you could add the game sound effects yourself to as this would be too hard to license for a 3rd party and Lego just wouldn’t offer it.

If you reverse the orientation of pacman, won't the crank rotating the opposite direction work and look (mostly) correct?

Nice review 👌

Great vid as always.! I'm glad I watched it. I would likely never have considered purchasing it based on the box + nostalgia + price.

I'm saving up for this set it's literally a true masterpiece in lego consoles

Like this lego set so much!

A gem of a set! A bit expensive but a great one!

I just can’t wait to see your double/complete Disney castle!

I really love this set, it's a great display set. I will wait with buying it, hoping for a great discount in a few months.

This is an amazing looking set that I really want. The Minifig scale Pacman arcade cabinet will look really good with the Defender arcade cabinet that came with LEGO Dimensions. I might have to save up for this one...

They were building one at the Lego store while I was there 2 days ago. Was a lot bigger than I thought it would be

Great review Tiago! Exactly what I was looking for to check out the cool mechanics. The function works better than I expected. Incredible job by the designers! However, I’d still choose Ninjago City Markets over this as I’m a sucker for modulars.

When my NES started getting jammed I just had to make sure all of the tiles were pushed in as the should be. It was frustrating for a while, but an easy fix fortunately!

I like ur videos!

Finally picking this up this weekend with triple VIP points

This would have been a great $225 set just two years ago... Sigh. Great review as always Tiago!

Seeing the mini build makes me really want a Lego modular arcade! Could see it being combined with an Optometrist as a nice bit of classic Lego humour.

On a couple of the corners on mine the ghosts and pac man keep catching so it isn't completely fluid. Does anyone know how to stop it? It's the corner of the blue and black plate that it seems to be catching on so when I remove that it doesn't do it 🤔

An amazing one off/nostalgic Lego set only marred by the price. While I fully appreciate the amount of detail/prints and technical/building solutions no one can really ignore how expensive these sets have gotten over the past two years. Primary reason seems to be Lego feels the price justifies what's being built not just the components/pieces it's built from. Same could basically be said for the Technic theme as a good percentage of the piece count is just pins, and axels which shouldn't be anywhere near the 10 cents per piece mark to produce sell. Only other complaint is the use of stickers at all at this point as a premium display item shouldn't have to rely on them at this price point.

Thank you for the video!

To make it even more realistic, place a cigarette made of Lego and place it on the control panel. Then add some melted Lego tiles to complete the look. Yes, people used to place their lit cigarettes on the machines while they played.

Really cool. Kinda want one

Amazing vid

I saw this in the London Lego shop on display for “coming soon” and it was really cool!

This looks awesome!

This is actually incredible

That’s amazingly clever. Like someone said here, the quality of Lego sets, the designs has taken a leap forward over the past three years. Excellent review as always. I think I would miss this one though. Too many small pieces perhaps

Really enjoyed building this!

Nice video!😁🔥

you are literally my favorite youtuber thanks for the reveiw

Bought it this week. Can't wait to start it!

Great video. Thank you.

Thanks for reviewing ❤

this set is amazing...they really knocked it out of the park...

Inky for sure didn't have a name when I was a kid nor did it stay in that corner lmao. Build looks great. The NES is my favorite all time build in fun to build. Or voltron. Keep the nostalgia up thanks

I need the new chain link part😂
