LEGO Ideas - SEGA Classic Arcade Machines & Yu Suzuki

Some of the most renowned Sega arcade machines (as well as legendary developer Yu Suzuki) are on their way to being immortalized - in the world of LEGO!

LEGO Ideas allows you to vote on fan ideas for new LEGO sets.

The 'Classic SEGA Arcade Machines' project needs 10,000 supporters in order for The Lego Group to evaluate it and decide whether or not to make it into a real set; the amount of supporters currently sits at 4,309 with 411 days left...

'Build miniature representations of classic Sega arcade games out of Lego bricks! These minifigure-scaled replicas will look good displayed on your desk at work or home and are perfect for use in your Lego City! The three included minifigures look great at the controls of these detailed builds.'

The machines include: Space Harrier, Outrun & Thunderblade.
The figures include: Yu Suzuki, Female Sega Fan, Male Sega Fan

I just noticed that's a Ryo Hazuki lego piece sitting in that Outrun seat.... Must. Have.
What's up with that? It doesnt exist already does it? This is just a prototype? They need to make him. It's only proper.

Lego Ryo doesn't exist unfortunately - that will be a prototype like Yu. It does seem strange to omit him, but people have been commenting on the Lego Ideas page saying he should be added.

This looks incredible, i've just added my support. I think that figure, although the clothing is extremely similar to Ryo's I think that's actually the Yu Suzuki figure :D

sounds like they are one off, custom fan made pieces. (lego qte title & ryo :heart: =P~ )

some info here -

lego website wrote:Other Possibilities:

I originally intended to build the Hang-On and After Burner deluxe cabinets as well, but they were proving difficult. I would like to see the Lego designers take a stab at including those as well if this projects reaches full support. If I am able to build something I'm happy with, I'll post it in an update.
I was thinking it'd be cool to include a Ryo Hazuki minifigure. Ryo Hazuki is the main character from the Shenmue videogame series which is set in the 80's. Many of these video games appear in the game and are playable. A Ryo Hazuki minifig would be flesh colored.

Kind of, but still doesn't look like a tiger to me. It's a browner jacket than the one Yu is wearing so I guess it could be a Ryo then.

This is the same system that saw the Lego Ghostbusters Ecto-1 made! It sits on my desk still.

Howdy all, I'm the guy that made these models and submitted the project to Lego Ideas. Thanks for your support! I was actually going to post about it here a couple of days ago but ended up not doing it for whatever reason.

That figure sitting in the cabinets is supposed to be Ryo, but it is made with existing Lego pieces, so the printing on the jacket isn't accurate at all (it's some other Lego character's torso and the closest one I had that looked kind of like Ryo's jacket). I did start to work on custom decals for Ryo's jacket but never finished it.
When I submitted the project, I had no way of knowing that Shenmue 3 would actually happen, so I thought a Ryo minifigure would be a long shot and thus focused on Yu and the generic Sega fans instead. However, the success of the Shenmue 3 kickstarter is a compelling argument on why it should be included if the project passes review.

In case you were wondering, I haven't made any of the other cabinets yet. I actually just moved so all of my Lego is packed up in moving boxes and I'm not sure when I'll be able to did it out.

If you all have any questions about the project feel free to ask here or on the project page's comments section!

Dude they are amazing then, I didn't realise you made them using existing lego parts, I thought they were unique specific pieces, for example with the Sega logos and like the Ourun logo actually on the parts, did you use stickers of some sorts?

I would definately buy the full set, hope it's gets supported to full on the Lego site!
