72050: Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 Set Review
Although the LEGO® Super Mario play sets appear to be winding down, the LEGO Group are far from leaving the world of Nintendo’s beloved plumber behind. Before we are treated to the first-ever Mario LEGO minifigures in 2027, the latest LEGO Mario set returns to the track with a second large-scale set inspired by Mario Kart. The set follows in the track of the 18+ Mario Kart set released in 2025, but this time it’s the turn...
72046: Nintendo Game Boy Set Review
Long before you could catch Pokémon whilst simply going to the toilet and taking your phone with you, back in 1989, Nintendo revolutionised gaming on the go. Back in the 80s, gaming was reserved for the home or the local arcade. But Nintendo used its expertise in bite-sized gaming through the Game & Watch systems to create an all-new gaming system. The Nintendo Game Boy was born. The handheld gaming system may seem archaic by...

72044: Mario Kart Piranha Plant Power-Up Pursuit Set Review
With the earlier LEGO® Super Mario sets almost exhausting ideas from the original platforming games, the theme took to the track earlier this year with sets inspired by Mario Kart. Thanks to over 30 years of games, there’s plenty of wacky race karts to choose from. This set features two new karts inspired by Mario Kart 8, plus two brick-built racers to drive them. Continuing the look at the new LEGO Mario Kart sets, here’s a look at...
72043: Interactive LEGO Mario & Standard Kart Review
One of the core play features of the entire LEGO Super Mario theme is the interactive figures. When the theme launched in 2020, the Adventures with Mario set included the first interactive figure. Mario was later joined by Luigi and Princess Peach, who also appeared in their own Starter Course sets. Last year, all three interactive figures were repackaged in new Starter Courses, which included an interactive figure and various bits...
72042: Prince Florian & Castle Bowser Set Review
Released in 2023 for the Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Bros. Wonder was the first side-scrolling Mario game in over 10 years. The colourful Mario adventure skipped the Mario Kingdom for the Flower Kingdom. Ruled by Prince Florian, the Flower Kingdom was home to magical blooms known as Wonder Flowers. But Mario’s visit to the Flower Kingdom soon descends into chaos as Bowser swipes a Wonder Flower and its power merges the King of...
