72045: Mario Kart – Shy Guy & P-Wing Set Review
Thanks to Mario Kart 8, the variety and amount of vehicles driven by Mario and friends have greatly expanded. As well as the usual karts, it’s added ATVs, motorbikes and car-like karts. One such kart, which could easily pass as a sports car, is the P-Wing. Not to be confused with the power-up of the same name. The set, which is the focus of this review, is a rare kart LEGO® Mario Kart set and brings Shy Guy to the racetrack....
72041: Party At Toad’s House Set Review
Toads have been loyal servants to the Mushroom Kingdom’s royal family. They are often found in royal residences or providing other useful services. They have also appeared in numerous past LEGO® Super Mario sets, including several themed around Toad’s unique homes. Toads are often depicted living in Mushroom-shaped huts, and this upcoming expansion set is just that —a Mushroom house that is home to a pair of Toads....
72038: Mario Kart – Wario & King Boo Set Review
Earlier this year, the LEGO® Super Mario theme expanded to include sets inspired by Nintendo’s long-running racer, Mario Kart. These still feature Action Tags and the ability to be integrated alongside other LEGO Mario sets, but focus on karts rather than sections of scenery. Several karts and bikes from Mario Kart, along with their drivers, have already been transformed into sets, but the set I’m taking a look at in this review...
72040: Captain Toad’s Camp Set Review
Toads have been a part of the Mario universe since the Super Mario Bros. game, where they helpfully informed Mario that his search for the Princess would need to continue onto the next castle. As well as being the collective name for the mushroom-like folk, Toad, as a character, has also appeared in other titles such as Mario Kart, Smash Bros. and Mario Tennis. An adventurous Toad, called Captain Toad, appeared in unique minigames in...
72037: Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart Review
Mario Kart is the talk of the town at the moment, thanks to the latest instalment in the long-running series being a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2. Like many of Nintendo’s titles, Mario Kart defined the ‘kart racer’ genre with the debut of the first game on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It’s since expanded to 8 numbered sequels, a spin-off, an arcade version, and it’s even inspired a...
71437: The Bowser Express Train Set Review
It’s taken far longer than it should, but I’ve finally finished off the Summer set reviews with this Super Mario set. It’s one of three larger sets released alongside a trio of new ‘Starter Sets’ which contain LEGO® Mario, Luigi and Peach interactive figures. Those characters have inspired the larger of the most recent expansion sets including Luigi’s haunted mansion and Peach’s Castle, but...
71436: King Boo’s Haunted Mansion Set Review
Similar to Peach’s Castle, another of the newly released LEGO® Super Mario Expansion sets is connected to one of the interactive figures. It’s also revisiting a location which has previously inspired past sets. In 2022, the Mario sets took a spooky turn and focused on Luigi’s fearful trip around a spooky mansion. Those previous sets focused on different parts of Luigi’s Mansion. This new set is a little more...
