LEGO Donkey Kong Arcade 72051 Ships August 1 at ₩259,900

A new display-style set aimed at adult retro game fans has joined the LEGO Super Mario line. Based on LEGO Korea’s official product page, Donkey Kong Arcade 72051 is listed with a Korea price of ₩259,900, an 18+ age rating, 1,367 pieces, and sequential shipping scheduled from August 1, 2026 for preorders.

The key numbers on the official Korea page are ₩259,900 and 1,367 pieces

The LEGO Korea product page lists LEGO® Super Mario™ #72051, Donkey Kong Arcade, ₩259,900, 18+, and 1,367 pieces together. Compared with the earlier stage where it only appeared as part of an overseas new-product batch, this time the official Korea price and preorder status can be checked directly.

The shipping wording is also important. The product page says sequential shipping is scheduled from August 1, 2026 for preorders, making it easier to decide by date whether to wait or put in an order now.

The core feature is the barrel-launching mechanism that moves like a real arcade machine

The official product description presents this set not as a simple static diorama, but as a collectible that recreates the original Donkey Kong arcade level. It includes Jumpman, Donkey Kong, Lady, scaffolding, ladders, and a hammer, with the key structure being a lever that launches barrels one by one.

On top of that, it adds control elements that let you move Jumpman with a joystick and make him jump over barrels with a button. In other words, once complete, it is not only a “display piece to look at” but also has the character of a retro arcade toy you can move by hand.

Its direction is clear as game room or desk decor, too

LEGO Korea’s description includes wording that positions it as a good retro-style decor piece for an entertainment room or home office. The listed size is 39 cm high, 27 cm wide, and 15 cm deep, so this is the kind of set that definitely asks for more display space than a small accessory with one or two minifigures.

That makes this set’s appeal a little different from a small Super Mario expansion pack. It is closer to checking whether the original Donkey Kong arcade mood, moving mechanisms, and adult hobby display value all line up at once.

Today, it reaches retro game fans more directly than Star Trek or Shrek

Around the same time, official announcement signals also appeared for Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 Bridge 11385 and Shrek Minifigures 71053. Both are strong hobby candidates, but Donkey Kong 72051 is based on an original game IP, and with its official Korea price, shipping date, and rich product image set all locked in at once, it is the flow that retro game fans can read most directly.

Brickset, The Brick Fan, and Jay’s Brick Blog also covered the official announcement signal on July 23. However, the decisive facts at the time of writing were checked again through LEGO’s official Korea and U.S. product pages, and all images in the article use only official LEGO product images.
