Lots of stickers, but it looks good and for the price, it's acceptable. Solid if this is your jam.

I like it. Good price too. I'll likely get it sooner than later.

I could use a whole village of these for different games in different colors, for all the space I don't have.

I HAVE A POWERFUL NEED.

Originally was going to pass on it due to being generic and not a licensed Galaga cabinet or something like that, but the Junkbot cabinet inside is a charming piece of nostalgia, especially for late90s/early00s folk.

The random sai on the wall I assume is there to be an unlicensed nod to TMNT given the 80s/early90s nostalgia bend and arcade prevalence, because juxtaposed against the mini two-piece Classic Space homage, it reads almost like a Ninjago reference, which is wildly anachronistic, and it wouldn't work as a classic castle ninja reference since the part didn't exist until 2012.

Insectoids on the self?

JUNKBOT, WOW!

Also TMNT reference...

Galaxy Explorer reference found

It looks pretty decent but presumably it is a large sticker for the display. The coin coming straight back out again is also a bit unnecessary. Machines that did that were junk.

The interior is nice too, although he was a lucky lad to have an arcade machine at home.

Pretty cool set, but the minifig's made up of pretty generic pieces, imo. Seems like they could've done something a little more unique like 71007-4.

Could those SPACE-logo and big SCREEN be prints?

At first glance I wasn't impressed, looked more like a rejected GWP. But then saw the pictures of the inside, and honestly, that elevated the whole thing to another level. Sure, it's nothing groundbreaking, but it is a fun set that for once doesn't break the bank.

Looks like fun

The Space logo is clearly a sticker, but the screen looks like a print indeed. And I'm wondering about the decorations on the side, I would expect that to be a sticker, but I don't see an obvious edge...so maybe also a print?

As for the screen, while it looks pretty good on the big picture (a render...), there's also a lifesytle photo with the actual product, where that tile doesn't look that great, with the antistuds on the bottom clearly showing.

Almost perfect.... If it had been Space Invaders it would have been fully perfect!

I'm noticing this a lot with tiles these days. Very unfortunate. Ironically a case where a sticker may have looked better, although I can sometimes even see the circle through the sticker!

Is that Xenon 2?

Interesting

HA! VG-obsessed minifigure lives on his parents' basement

Always appreciate a Junkbot reference. But if they could sneak in a sticker of his actual face one of these years I'd be in heaven.

...Junkbot?
Now that's something I never expected them to reference, ever.
Back from when games on LEGO.com took time and effort to complete.
Not exactly convinced by its representation on the screen though, feels more like a "hey, remember this from your childhood? We do too!" reference than anything.
But hey, still nice to see.

J'aime bien, ce set finira dans ma collection.

Who's buying on release?

Junkbot my beloved!

Love it!
It’ll pair nicely with the prize machine and pacman set.

“Miscellaneous” is the new theme to watch out for besides “ideas” and “icons” with the up-scaled figures and now this one!

Lego really doesn't want me to eat food the week before august first.

As something that I absolutely do not need whatsoever, I might actually get this. This oozes nostalgia for me. And to top it off, it says 'Space' on it!

Maybe we'll also get a pinball at the same scale.

I'm pretty sure the third-party sticker companies will be all over this and you will be able to change the top branding and the game screen to fit your preferences. Zaxxon, PacMan, Centipede, Donkey Kong comes to mind.

If I wouldn't know better, I'd think this is a FunWhole/Lumibricks design.

I wonder if there will be some future cross-pollination in designs and themes.

One of the more interesting Miscellaneous sets that we've gotten in a while.

Also appreciate the scores 6985 & 6781 , a couple more Easter eggs

Whoa, let's not cross that ridge.

This set simply boggles me. I don't hate it but I also don't love it or even get it. I don't know what to think about it. lol

Thank you, I guess.

The minifigure is giving me Lenny Wosniak vibes.

Ooooh! Out Run playing in the TV. And the spaceship on the side of the cab is from the Space Baby set.

Ahhh, the ol' nickle arcade. So many fun hours.

You had to pay $5 to get in, the games were a little older, but then you had three hours, and all the games were 5 cents (except for Dragon's Lair 3d).

I’d love to raid that interior but stickers…

The high exposed pipe certainly does suggest he’s living in some sort of sub-optimal housing. Sub-parents would certainly qualify.

@HOBBES:
Obviously, the game they should have licensed to represent in this set is Frogger, because George and Kramer already exist. Also, frogs.

Why such a boring torso though?!

Hm, not particularly interested in arcade cabs, but this does look really good. And a good value. I'm shocked!

Now, why would an old Harry Potter torso that's been used 7 times be boring? ;)

Lucky!

If I see this with a healthy discount I’ll grab it. Very fun.

Frogger would do just fine, there are so many to choose from: Joust, Galaga, Dig Dug, Kung Fu Master, Pole Position, Defender, Missile Command, etc...

B3 Customs has many arcade machines (minifig scale) with names like Froggy, Brickey-Kong, Dot-Man, Brikipede, Q*Brick, Defending, etc.

As per the opening sentence …..
“released on the 1st of August, costing £34.99, $39.99 or €39.99 and including 468 pieces.”
!!!

YESSS Smaller <3
I will get it just for pieces for arcade I am working on!

I distincly remember the smell of those machines back in the '80's.

Junkbot and Classic Space reference!
Also numbers 6985 and 6781 on the screen aren't coincidence.

I actually adore the mini arcade more.

10273 also had a reference to Junkbot :) Although unprinted and hidden inside a crate.

Is this at the same scale as the upscaled minifigure and the yellow suitcase set.

Eyeballing it, it looks like, at the very least, the scales aren't too far off.

As a huge gaming fan I have to say I expected this to be a yellow Computer Space cab in Lego, with the seventies lady next to it. Now I only get warm feelings on the 2 brick LEGO 487 set miniature. And this was a typical set to be Scandinavian gender neutral with a classic minifig. Now it has some millenial hipster dude, who missed the oportunity to wear a DX7 logo brown T-shirt.

"JUNKBOT, WOW!"

Junkbot? Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long, long time...

Why is our guy so angry? I would definitely swap out that head for a classic smiley one. He got to go back and live in the 80s! What could possibly be happier than that???

Junkbot :D
