LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade set launches on Aug 1 2026
LEGO and Nintendo have unveiled a new 1,367‑piece Don Kong Arcade building set (item 72051) that recreates the classic 1981 arcade cabinet. The model includes functional mechanisms: a lever releases 21 barrels, a joystick moves Jumpman (Mario) and a button lets him jump over the barrels, mirroring the original gameplay. The set measures about 39 cm tall and is aimed at adult builders aged 18 and older.
The set will be released worldwide on 1 August 2026 and is available for pre‑order through LEGO’s online store and retail locations. Prices vary by market – €169.99 in Europe, US $199.99 in the United States, AU $279, CA $269, Singapore $309, and ¥29,980 in Japan. Promotional material features former Donkey Kong champion Steve Wiebe. The release follows previous LEGO‑Nintendo collaborations and targets fans of retro gaming and collectible building sets.
