The First LEGO Mario Minifigure Sets Are Up for Preorder
Preorders are live for four of the first-ever LEGO sets featuring minifigures of Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom gang.
LEGO is preparing to launch a range of Super Mario minifigure-scale sets, including figures of Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom inhabitants. These sets, set to debut on January 1st, began accepting pre-orders on Amazon and Target. Links to these platforms allow for pre-ordering the sets, while the LEGO Store currently only displays listings.
This article will be updated if pre-orders become available at the LEGO Store. The new minifigures consist of Mario (in beach and fire versions), Luigi (with a fire version), Toad, Yoshi, Princess Peach, and a Koopa Troopa. The sets feature a variety of enemies and familiar items, such as Goombas, POW blocks, Question blocks, racing karts, banana peels, green and red shells, and more.
Interactive elements are also present, such as a lever in the $9.99 Mario's Pipe Jump set that propels a Goomba, and a working drawbridge, trapdoors, and a lava ball launcher in the Bowser's Castle set. Previous Mario LEGO sets catered to two audiences: adult nostalgia seekers and children with play functionality. The newly announced minifigure-based sets aim to appeal to both age groups, offering collectors and builders alike.
