If you grew up in the 80's, you probably spent a ton of time playing Pac-Man. I was never much allowed in arcades, but when I did go, that was my go-to game. My husband, on the other hand, was an arcade phenom. So, it's pretty clear to see why we really like this LEGO Ideas Pac-Man submission.
Yethan, known as Ethan in the real world, is the 16 year old creator of the idea and has this to say about his project:
I wanted to capture as many of the original aspects of the game as possible when making the set. My hardest challenge was whether or not to give Pac-Man eyes. I decided that I should give the final design eyes, because I felt it added to the playability factor. I made many models of Pac-Man and the Ghosts and in the end I stuck with two. I have the detailed version of the characters and beside that I have the microscale (pictures are available above). Due to piece limitation I was only able to build a Blue and Red model, but I would very much like to construct a Pink and Orange model in the future. I also have a white Lego brick on a stand that represents one of the Dots from the game. Lastly I wanted to add in some of the items. My models are of the most common items (the ones found in the earlier levels of the game): The Cherries and the Strawberry.
In one of his updates, he later added a model for Ms. Pac-Man and a Vulnerable Ghost.
