LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade Set Leaks via UK Retailer Listing, Price and Details
A UK retailer listing has surfaced details for a new adult-focused LEGO set: the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade, a detailed recreation of Nintendo’s original arcade game that lets builders play through a barrel-jumping mechanic and display the finished build. The listing has since been removed, but it revealed a full product description, piece count, model number, and a specific UK price point.
Release timing and availability
| Platform / Region | Status | Date / Window |
|---|---|---|
| LEGO set availability (UK retailer listing) | Announced via listing (later removed) | August 1, 2026 |
The set is listed for £149.99 and is described as containing 1,367 pieces (the listing also includes a line stating 1,371 pieces). It’s tied to LEGO model number 72051 and is marked for ages 18 and up.
What the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade includes
The build is pitched as both a “play-and-display” model for adults, aiming to recreate a Donkey Kong arcade level with recognizable elements like Jumpman, a Donkey Kong figure, Lady, plus scaffold, ladder, and hammer details.
Interactive features highlighted in the listing include a barrel mechanism designed for continuous looping. Builders are said to pull a lever to release barrels—one at a time from a total of 21—then use a joystick to move Jumpman. A button press is also described as making Jumpman jump over the barrels, matching the core arcade gameplay loop.
Size, display purpose, and target audience
The listing frames the set as a retro arcade tribute and a shelf-ready centerpiece for a game room, home office, or similar display space. It also positions the product as video game merch for fans of Donkey Kong and Super Mario themes, specifically for adults and older teens.
Physical dimensions are given as over 39 cm (15.5 in.) high, 27 cm (10.5 in.) wide, and 15 cm (5.5 in.) deep.
Open questions
Because the retailer page has been removed, several details are still unconfirmed until LEGO’s own announcement and official pre-orders go live. The listing suggests the proper reveal and ordering will arrive “soon,” but it doesn’t provide broader regional release timing beyond the stated UK launch date.
For players and hardware-adjacent collectors who care about accuracy, the key unknown is how closely the final official product mirrors the described play mechanics and exact part counts once the full LEGO storefront information is published.
