LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade set gets proper reveal with first official images, full details

A now-removed listing from Argos UK has given a proper reveal at the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade with a bunch of images and full details with a lengthy product description.

The set first leaked earlier in the month. We mostly had a single image to go off of, and we heard that the launch would be taking place in August.

Argos indicates that the LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade set drops on August 1, 2026 for £149.99. It’ll contain 1,367 pieces.

This is a proper recreation of Nintendo’s original Donkey Kong arcade game. You’ll be putting together a level “featuring Jumpman, Donkey Kong figure and Lady, scaffold, ladder and hammer details, plus a mechanism to circulate the barrels in a continuous loop.” You’ll be able to pull a lever to release barrels and move Jumpman with the joystick.

Below is the full product description:
