Nice set and very creating design
on August 17, 2026

The Donkey Kong Arcade is very good. I like how it is designed to allow the arcade to be more playable (compared to the Pac-Man LEGO set). I always wonder how they can make the barrels drop continuously. I enjoy exploring the design while I am building it. Although it costs relatively more per bricks, I think this set is worth getting if you are a LEGO arcade fans or Donkey Kong fans.
I would recommend this to a friend!

DK, Donkey Kong!

This is a very good build! It was a very fun build through with every bag being different from the last. The playability of this set sets it apart from all of the other sets. Being able to actually jump over the barrels is a very cool feature. It is a very polished build from the front, and not so much in the back. (But who looks at the back anyways) I would definitely recommend this build to any builder beginner to advanced. The art work in the stickers is very neat. This is definitely a 10/10 build from the inside out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was so exited when I pre-ordered this set, and when it came I went straight to building. I do recommend!

Keep the Arcade sets comin'!

This is a very fun build, and a beautiful companion piece to the Pac-Man Arcade! The price is a bit atrocious for the number of pieces and exposed mechanics in the back (perhaps a couple hundred more pieces to make it a "closed cabinet" design would make the price fully worth it... maybe even an included minifigure-scaled Arcade Set, á la Pac-Man). But all-in-all, the inner-workings, the mechanics, the playability... makes this an exceptional set, and I pray they introduce more classic arcade game sets!!

Way to go LEGO!!

First of all, I’d like to say that this kit was an amazing building experience. The box look great, all bags were available, the manual was easy to follow and the final product look great. The functionality brought back memories of my childhood. The only downside would be if some sound would have been added. Other than that, the design team nailed this one!!

One of my favorite builds!

This was such a fun set to build. At no point did it feel overly repetitive, and I loved how simple building the mechanics were to create a perpetual barrel-throwing machine! It looks amazing next to my Pac-Man arcade cabinet. Please keep making more interactive arcade cabinets!
I would recommend this to a friend!
