ifyoubuildit Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Hi all, here is my Retro Arcade MOC I submitted recently on Lego Ideas. It’s been suggested I don’t ask for support so I won’t. Bring out your inner child with the amazing interactive ‘Retro Arcade’. Join Charlie on the coin operated sports car or grab a drink from the vending machine. Help Mollie’s Grandpa win a teddy on the claw grabber or help yourself to some candy from the gumball machine. Pop inside and hold on tight on the superbike or put your driving skills to the test on the car racer. Why not finish off with a good old blast on the arcade video games before taking a snapshot in the photo booth. Bursting with fun, working functions and indoor light bricks, the ‘Retro Arcade’ is a winner for all ages. Features 1,849 pieces and 7 minifigures. Interactive functions include: coin operated sports car, claw grabber, super bike, car racer, indoor light bricks and a rotating planet on the arcade roof. Hope you like it 😊👍 https://ideas.lego.com/projects/09c20a79-394b-48e1-b08a-4f65ce212f1e Edited February 5, 2021 by ifyoubuildit I’ve been informed I can add a link, many thanks Quote
JintaiZ Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Great build! You've got my support and I'm sure you'll reach 10k in no time! Quote
Stuartn Posted February 5, 2021 Posted February 5, 2021 Looks great, love all the exterior details and the arcade games are great representations of the real things. The custom stickers are great. You're allowed to include a link to the ideas page. Official EB guidelines stipulate you can have a single link to the page, just don't be to shouty (which your obviously not being). Quote

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated, I’ve added a link as suggested 👍 I loved the arcades as a kid, we went camping every summer to the east coast in the UK, spent every night in the arcade 😊 1 minute ago, peedeejay said: This build is a big mountain of awesomeness!

gabrielerava Posted February 6, 2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Love it! Like the colour combination and the big signage. What’piece is the planet in the roof ? Quote
snaillad Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Very cool idea. really like that classic spaceship on the roof! Good luck. Quote
seejay Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 I commented on Lego Ideas before, but I'll say it here too: that gumball machinne is _perfect_. Something about the 1x1 cheese wedge perfectly evokes the heavy metal door those things have. Quote
koalayummies Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 What a great MOC. Through and through a great design but the roof and that rocket ship and space backdrop is really excellent. And the arcade builds are great especially that riding motorcycle game, brilliant! Fantastic design and welcome to EB ifyoubuildit! Quote

Brickrunner Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Couldn’t post a comment straightaway as I had to head over to the Ideas page to support this! I love all the little details - only thing missing is Donkey Kong lol. Quote

I loved Donkey Kong, maybe if this gets chosen Lego would provide a selection of stickers so you could chosen your own arcade machines Quote
Garmadon Posted February 8, 2021 Posted February 8, 2021 Really nice! Those arcades and games are fantastic, and the roof is pretty sweet as well! Supported! Quote
