LEGO Teases Yoshi Set for 2027

Nintendo has revealed plans for a new LEGO Yoshi set set to launch in early 2027. The teaser image shared on the Nintendo Today! app shows a brick-built depiction of Yoshi's face, confirming the set's inclusion in the Super Mario theme. The teaser's adult-focused nature implies that the Super Mario line is expanding into more intricate sets designed for display rather than interactive play.

As of now, the LEGO Super Mario theme features around 20 sets, with over 100 sets released since 2020. The previously released LEGO Mario & Yoshi set, featuring a retro pixel art aesthetic, is set to retire in December. LEGO currently only produces one Yoshi set at a time. The Super Mario theme has traditionally catered to younger audiences with smaller sets featuring one or two minifigures.

However, in recent years, the company has developed larger decorative builds aimed at adult fans. The LEGO Yoshi set is expected to be a larger decorative build, fitting into this category. The term "hatching" in the teaser might simply be a marketing ploy, but it would be intriguing to see LEGO attempt to recreate a toy like Hatchin Yoshi from The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.

As with many of their themes, LEGO aims to appeal to both adults and children with varying levels of complexity. The strategy of releasing adult-focused sets alongside simpler ones seems to be working well for LEGO, as evidenced by their record-breaking revenue in the first half of 2026.
