Holy Moly. That is all I have to say on this one of a kind Lego build. I literally spent a half hour talking with the creators and being mesmerized by the look and feel of the arcade machine. I went to the Brick World convention in Schaumburg, IL this past weekend and was expecting some cool Lego builds and vendors of not only Lego, but other items as well. I have seen many cool retro gaming builds in my life including Halo, Minecraft, Mega Man, Pac-Man and more. But nothing I have ever seen compares to this. For the history of this machine click here
The arcade took 5 years to complete and make ready to play. There were 24,029 Legos used which equaled 170 pounds of Legos
If you add the monitor and other mechanics , the arcade is over 240 pounds total. Everything from the trackball to the light gun is fully functional as well as the coin slot which you can put a token in and it will count as a credit to paly the game. It is four player which is incredible and there are over 10,000 loaded games on it.
