Lego has officially revealed its Donkey Kong Arcade set, a nostalgic throwback to one of the company’s first big games. A tribute to the groundbreaking 1981 arcade hit–which starred Mario as Jumpman–the 1,371-piece set launches on August 1 and is priced at $200. It also comes with a gift in the form of an Animal Crossing kit featuring everyone’s favorite landlord, Tom Nook, valued at $5, if preordered from The Lego Store.
Inside the box, you’ll find all the pieces you need to build a nostalgic arcade cabinet. It features the original first stage of Donkey Kong, complete with scaffolding, ladders, and hammer details, and a mechanism to circulate the 21 barrels in a continuous loop. Other cool details include a function to move Jumpman with the joystick and make him jump by hitting the correct button. While you won’t get any minifigures inside of it, there are pieces included to build pixel-accurate versions of Jumpman, Donkey Kong, and Lady.
