[pastel token]

idk

[unborn shell]

It is at 11:00 in the morning EST

[analog tapir]

[worthy tendon]

And 12:00pm

there's mushroom kingdom and bowser's castle train stations

got a very high LSMIQ

"finally they made a lego version of roy, the koopalings are finally complete"

mario kart coming 2025

[supple pendant]

terrible lmao

"heres a worse version of a set we already released btw and no minifigs and we're going to continue it until 2025 btw <3"

[unborn shell]

I feel like the peach’s castle could definitely include much more

I really like the train tho

[supple pendant]

it's a worse version of the peachs castle they already released

[unborn shell]

Yeah unfortunately

But hey at least we get the bowser express train

[supple pendant]

i havent bought lego mario in forever and i prob never will tbh

[slate pewter]

I want Lego Mario kart! (Monkeys paw curls)

At this point I think lego genuinely doesn't know how to make Minifigures look good so they just keep doing digifigs

[supple pendant]

There are absolutely tons of ways to make minifigs look good

• the digifigs are hideous so idk why that would be a factor

[topaz hemlock]

most dire moment in lego mario history

[supple pendant]

the most dire moment was when it was released i fear

[topaz hemlock]

kinda crazy the first nintendo lego releases are digifig marios and actual animal crossing sets

[supple pendant]

hang awn.........

[topaz hemlock]

wtf

insane pr moment

best announcement of today is this instagram reply

[supple pendant]

surely they wouldnt respond??

[worthy tendon]

i like the goomba passengers

mario is just destroying public transit

[supple pendant]

ouuu they're getting CHEWED in the comments

[unborn shell]

isnt iggy supposed to have the chain chomp

[glacial condor]

i was thinking that

[soft forge]

oh, cool. the mario kart is brick built for the digifig

[worthy tendon]

thats what it looks like

[analog tapir]

announcing something a year in advance like that is evil.

[unborn shell]

Y’all think that there’s still gonna be new digifigs based off of that leak

[soft forge]

i dont see why not

[inland gust]

none of these sets will introduce new digifig characters

[soft forge]

i think the sets might actually be the exact same as the originals with the exception of the digifigs being replaced with the revised versions

[inland gust]

but it appears they are going to revise the existing digifigs

i don't know if they'll ever make a 4th

[pastel token]

it seems very clear by today that theyre using the same digifigs

[inland gust]

donkey kong would've been the character to if you ask me

[soft forge]

was Mario's back ever shown in the mar09 reveal

[analog tapir]

they should revise them to play more than just the same freaking song for every LEGO DK interaction

(I know that'd just be a software update, not a revision)

[inland gust]

ignore all the times i gassed up donkey kong ok it's just

[soft forge]

im under the impression that the "new" digifigs are gonna be nearly identical to the existing ones with the exception of the battery compartment on the back and some obscure internal stuff

[inland gust]

the way they hyped donkey kong and what his actual play function wa

s

just stuck out like a sore thumb to me

i was like "oh they're slashing the budget on lego mario"

[soft forge]

looks like the battery door is still there

[worthy tendon]

why wouldnt it be

[worthy tendon]

it still need a battery

[soft forge]

these are the clearest images of the digifigs' backs lol

[soft forge]

they wouldn't have a removable battery cover

[worthy tendon]

why not

[soft forge]

because. the consumer doesnt need to access the battery. they plug in a usb cable and charge it

[worthy tendon]

why not

[soft forge]

because thats how every modern usb chargeable product works

joycons dont have a battery cover

[worthy tendon]

no but you can still unscrew them

[soft forge]

yeah.?

[worthy tendon]

like you have to with the battery cover on the digifig

[pastel token]

the consumer does need to access the battery in case it explodes

[worthy tendon]

wait is that like an industry standard

[pastel token]

everything i own with a rechargable battery has it accessible

probably

[worthy tendon]

so your phone too?

[inland gust]

absolutely not

good luck replacing the battery on an iphone

[pastel token]

probably depends on the phone

[worthy tendon]

im not talking about iphones

[inland gust]

you need to send that i

n

[pastel token]

iphones are in hteir own world

[worthy tendon]

apple products are anarchic

[pastel token]

i used to be able to pop the back out of my phones

[soft forge]

the only way to replace the battery in a joy-con is by taking apart the joy-con

[worthy tendon]

yeah with a screwdriver

[soft forge]

its not a regular feature you're intended to interface with under normal circumstances

[worthy tendon]

like anything else with rechargable battery

iphones excluded of course

[soft forge]

if lego mario was redesigned with a rechargable battery then they would remove the dedicated battery access area and just put the battery inside along with the rest of the components

[worthy tendon]

and any other apple product

im just saying the existence of a battery cover like this doesnt deconfirm the usb charging rumor

[soft forge]

i wasn't saying it did

[worthy tendon]

then why bring it up

[soft forge]

because i was wondering if the new digifigs were shadow revealed in the stream

[worthy tendon]

if anything they would have a charging port visible

[soft forge]

yeah of course

[soft forge]

though these are the shots we get

and most likely the port would be hidden under the overalls when assembled, like the screw is in the current ones

the battery compartment being visible makes me hopeful that the figs in the stream are just the onld ones and the new ones actually might be noticable upgrades and not just be the same big bricks

[pastel token]

dont get your hopes up

[soft forge]

yeah im definitely still realistically expecting the exact same form factor but now with a USB Type-C port on Mario's ass. but it is possible

[pastel token]

i think if they were drastically changing the digifigs it would have been presented in this video

[soft forge]

yeah thats true

[craggy magnet]

Atleast there’s a cheaper Lego peach set

[supple pendant]

also these aren't the new ones lol sorry to reply days later

[lime sundial]

I’m gonna be honest, unless you missed out on the chain chomp in wave 2, or you just really need to finish your collection (both koopalings and/or sets)

This new peach’s castle is just stupid

Also, chain chomp is still a rectangular boi

They seriously couldn’t have at least tried to make him somewhat spherical, hell I would take a square chain chomp.
Not this, rectangular mass with teeth and eyes

[pastel token]

hes actually not a rectangle

ifhe was a cube he would be rectangular

[soft forge]

the boxiness is specifically an aesthetic choice for the super mario theme

both to make everything look natural when put side by side with the cuboid digifigs (who need to be boxes because of the screens and battery box), and so that everything is easy to assemble for the theme's target demographic

[inland gust]

also because it's super mario and super mario is blocky and boxy

and round

[craggy magnet]

I’m just getting it cause it’s cheaper than the original one

[unborn shell]

When do y’all think they are gonna reveal the rest of the sets

For August 1st

[craggy magnet]

There’s more?

[unborn shell]

Here are the rest

[opaque sierra]

it’s been a while since i tuned in this channel are mario lego minifigs still not a thing

[inland gust]

no

try again in like 2 years

[unborn shell]

Maybe even never at this rate

[craggy magnet]

Maybe winter 2025

[craggy magnet]

@median mountain wake up, they’re releasing new lego mario starter courses https://youtu.be/viJ1uZsKopI?si=jig2zLTUeNLlIBMx

|| @unborn shell ||

[median mountain]

YUP

NOT A WHOLE LOT TO REALLY DISCUSS ABOUT THIS ASIDE FROM THE DIFFERENT BRANDING

THERES SIGNIFICANTLY LESS FOCUS ON THE DIGIFIGS + THEY NOW HAVE DIFFERENT AND EERILY DISTINCTIVE NAMES

[slate pewter]

Wdym distinctive names

[craggy magnet]

“Interactive”

[slate pewter]

Ah

[craggy magnet]

Minifigs soon????????????????????

[median mountain]

MAYBE

ITS WORTH NOTING HOW THIS BRANDING HAS CHANGED SO DISTINCTLY

PREVIOUSLY MARIO WAS ON EVERY BOX, SUGGESTING YOU NEED LEGO MARIO TO PLAY

EVERYTHING IS DISTINCTLY LABELLED AN "EXPANSION SET" AS WELL

THE BOX IS DOING EVERYTHING IN ITS POWER TO TELL YOU THESE SETS ARE ADD-ONS TO THE DIGIFIG STARTER COURSE

NOW, THERE'S WAY LESS EMPHASIS

AND COURSE SETS ARE ADVERTISED ENTIRELY ON THEIR OWN

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE MIGHT BE A BLURB ABOUT IT ON THE SIDE OF THE BOX

BUT EVEN THIS IS VERY DIFFERENT

ADVENTURES WITH INTERACTIVE LEGO MARIO IS VERY VERY DISTINCT COMPARED TO THE ORIGINAL BLUNT "ADVENTURES WITH MARIO"

[unborn shell]

sets are pretty good but not a big fan of the new starter courses they are so expensive for what they include the only reason why i wanna get them is because the clown car has a new design and lakitu's cloud as well as balloon BABY YOSHI

[craggy magnet]

Starter courses kind of suck, they are 10 dollars cheaper tho

[unborn shell]

I’m for sure picking up the other sets just not the starter courses

[craggy magnet]

I’m only getting the playground and castle sets

Tahs about it

[unborn shell]

not a bad choice

[inland gust]

i guess they're sort of maybe setting things up to abandon "interactive" lego mario

[median mountain]

THE DISTINCTION IS NEW AND NOTABLE ENOUGH AND LIKELY WOULD ONLY EXIST TO MEAN SOMETHING

WE STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE 18+ SET IS

NOT TO MENTION LEGO MARIO KART IS AROUND THE CORNER AND WE KNOW VERY LITTLE ABOUT HTAT

IT MAKES SENSE TO DO THIS IF IT'S GOING TO SHARE SHELF LIFE WITH MINIFIGS, OR, NON-INTERACTIVE LEGO CHARACTERS

[unborn shell]

If they were trying to abandon the interactive figures I don’t see why they would bring a new advertisement for them but idk u could be right

[median mountain]

I THINK THEY ARE BUILDING A DISTINCTION BECAUSE ODDS ARE HTEY WILL BE USED FOR LEGO MARIO KART BUT BY THAT POINT THERE WILL PROBABLY BE AN ALTERNATIVE THEY ARE NOT SHOWING US YET

MARIO KART IS THE FUTURE OF INTERACTIVE LEGO MARIO, WHEREAS THE REGULAR SUPER MARIO LINE WILL CONTINUE UNDER MINIFIGS

[unborn shell]

That could actually be a good idea

[craggy magnet]

minifigs are only gonna happen if Nintendo wants it

If Nintendo doesn’t want it then we’re stuck with interactive Lego mario

can’t wait to get the goomba battle pack 🔥

[craggy magnet]

now THIS is how you advertise

looks better

actually shows what you can do with the product

looks cooler

id get this if I didn’t already have the starter courses

no more weird box shapes

The 18 plus set might be a toad house or lego mario

Lego mario kart might have its own “starter course”

[craggy magnet]

I hope these new digifigs sets come with those like

2x8 tiles

[median mountain]

THIS IS NOT TRUE

LEGO IS THE ONE WHO PITCHED DIGIFIGS

[tepid pawn]

I believe it but source?

[median mountain]

I THINK ITS FROM A REALLY OLD INTERVIEW FROM WHEN THE LINE WAS FIRST ANNOUNCED

[worthy tendon]

Yeah Nintendo was fine with normal mini fig sets

[tepid pawn]

I see.

[soft forge]

they made animal crossing figs after all

[craggy magnet]

Imagine if instead of “digifigs” we got digital minifigures

[median mountain]

IDK WHAT THAT WOULD ENTAIL

[worthy tendon]

we wouldnt get that unless we had technology decades from now

[topaz hemlock]

Nft?

[craggy magnet]

[supple pendant]

sorry to chime in late but yes, lego was the party that pitched the digital figures. They started with minifigs and then moved on to something like a 2 x 4 brick but mario and they were like "this feels so weird and not good! 🤪" and they had like a couple teams and whoever pitched the digifigs got the most votes

i assume they were all on ecstasy or some other drug that would have made them favor this over literally anything else

[unborn shell]

Minifigures would benefit both sides the fans and LEGO they would make a ton of money idk why they haven’t done it yet

[supple pendant]

Omg can’t wait for another boring display set with no minifigs or interesting qualities at all 😍

(Adults aren’t allowed to have minifigs only display stuff)

Oh cc: @pastel token

[soft forge]

there's a 90s console war joke to be made about the sonic 18+ set having more parts and being cheaper

obviously though the reason its so cheap is because it uses a quintillion 1*1 plates

[worthy tendon]

This is 18+?

[inland gust]

yes

[worthy tendon]

Why

[inland gust]

because there's no play elements

[worthy tendon]

So?

Back in my day

[topaz hemlock]

are ideas sets automatically 18+ because i feel like they are usually 18+

[inland gust]

this one was made specifically for collectors

um

the original pitch that this was based on was for kids

they changed focus after greenlighting it

[worthy tendon]

Is this even in the same series as the newer sets

[inland gust]

no

[pastel token]

its 18+ cus its collectors

thats all 18+ rly means anymore

btw doesnt inflated price per piece ratio = minifigs

[soft forge]

this new Mario set to be about average p/p compared to the previous 4

[supple pendant]

Yeah I don’t expect minifigs at all even a little bit from this

I don’t expect them at all in the next 5 years honestly

[pastel token]

gulp

u and me are both living in our respective miseries

[supple pendant]

unfortunately yes

I think if they already revealed Mario kart for next year they were preemptively telling us no minifigs

Which is weird cuz like having to indirectly address it means the demand is there

Just stupidity at this point

Genuinely

[pastel token]

i had a crackpot about how mario kart dcould be minifigs but i dont remember what it was

i didnt post it anywhere

[supple pendant]

I remember!!!

[worthy tendon]

Why can’t Lego ideas be used to get mini fig sets

[pastel token]

it wasnt the one in here

with the engine

[supple pendant]

Mario isn’t allowed on it

[pastel token]

it was smth that still had to do with uh

[supple pendant]

Trust I would’ve submitted a year ago lmao

[pastel token]

the fact that big toy mario was used for mario kart

IDK maybe there could be a minifig or two in this 18+ set the leaks being unsure still has my interest piqued

[supple pendant]

Don’t you love playing Mario kart with only 3 characters to choose from?

[pastel token]

esp with the zelda set on the way

and ac already out

[supple pendant]

I just have no hope anymore 😭

Never will again

I get too disappointed

[topaz hemlock]

waiting for the twitter post when the zelda one is out thats like

Lego Smash Bros?! with ac sonic and link together

[supple pendant]

It sucks that Mario has to be relegated to a literal baby toy but I guess it’s Lego so w/e

[soft forge]

nes: 0.102
? block: 0.097
bowser: 0.094
pirahna plant: 0.111
mysterious new set: 0.106

[topaz hemlock]

wait new tier list that is Who In Smash Has A Lego Minifigure

[pastel token]

sonic

isabelle

link

[topaz hemlock]

piranha plant

[pastel token]

not a minifig

[topaz hemlock]

big figure)

[soft forge]

do brick built depictions count or not

[pastel token]

naur

[soft forge]

if you're only counting Minifigures™ then yeah i think its only thise 3

[supple pendant]

Being a Mario fan and Lego fan is literally this pic

[topaz hemlock]

fortnite might help

if anyone got one

[supple pendant]

Remember when they responded to that comment on their insta lmfao

[topaz hemlock]

idk how many 3rd parties have gotten figs

[pastel token]

that insta comment is also weird

[supple pendant]

“Did someone throw a green shell at you? Exciting announcements coming!”

[pastel token]

idk its clear somtehing weird is going on with minifigs

[supple pendant]

Like girl where are they

[topaz hemlock]

im making a tier list now

[soft forge]

there might be some characters in the lego fortnite game but do they count

[pastel token]

mario minifigs r the kind of thing where its like obviously they will happen eventually theres literally no shot htey never ever do

[topaz hemlock]

STEVE

[pastel token]

oh yea steve

[supple pendant]

Oh Mit btw did I tell you I actually was speaking with a Lego CSR (unrelated a sticker sheet was missing) and I asked about why they haven’t done them and she was like “you know…I don’t know!! I’ll ask and let you know” cuz they had my email for the shipping

And she actually did respond abt it, she was like “they told us there isn’t a reason, they just haven’t done them yet”

[pastel token]

lol

[soft forge]

it doesn't seem like there's any video game character lego styles anyway

[pastel token]

yea only chars with lego styles in fortnite that are like

brand things

are either real ppl or things that already got legos

like marvel and star wars

[soft forge]

star wars and tmnt

[supple pendant]

Her exact words were “there isn’t a reason. We just haven’t done them yet.”

💀

[pastel token]

claps

[supple pendant]

Everyone saying they can’t bc Nintendo said no is shaking

[pastel token]

tbf i dont expect a customer service rep to rly know

nintendo never said no theyve been shaking

the real get is lego ff7

[supple pendant]

Oh she said she like asked her higher up who asked someone else 😭

[pastel token]

oh woa

well ok lol

[supple pendant]

I was like thank u so much you didn’t have to do that??? 😭

[pastel token]

lets collab and get custom mario luigi aerith and tifa printed

then we can die with all our legos

[soft forge]

there are more smash bros characters in LittleBigPlanet costumes than in Minifigure form. funny, but not too surprising

[supple pendant]

yesssss after Peach is done

[pastel token]

for some reason sf is off limits

on lego ideas

[supple pendant]

which btw the guy has the parts officially

and the prints

[pastel token]

lets get it

[supple pendant]

im very VERY excited.....just waiting on the instagram message telling me whjts up

[pastel token]

ff recently became allowed on lego iedas which is scary

[supple pendant]

this is painful to look at

oh word

[pastel token]

sadly the only things that get through on lego ideas are shit like disney

and things that already got 10k like years ago that keep gettng resubbed

[soft forge]

oh wait does this count as a pac man Minifigure

[topaz hemlock]

that aint pac man

[supple pendant]

Nopr

[topaz hemlock]

but thats cute

[pastel token]

the actual pac man brick built decor might

[supple pendant]

and then they choose the worst shit

the twilight set winning over cool shit like shrek is a literal crime

[pastel token]

its ugly

they should ban disney from lego ideas

no offense

[supple pendant]

its ugly (2)

[pastel token]

i still get nightmares about the stupid fucking shit ass pooh set that got 10k overnight

[supple pendant]

i 100% agree

[pastel token]

actual industry plant

[supple pendant]

disney is going to have sets regardless

like disney gets a shit ton of sets

[topaz hemlock]

they should make a kingdom he

[pastel token]

me gripping your temples with both hands

get............in.............line

[supple pendant]

LMFAO

[topaz hemlock]

i think a meteor would hit earth if lego kingdom hearts came before ff7

sent from mit

[supple pendant]

LOL YES

i cannot believe fucking rosie from animal crossing has a lego minifigure and mario from super mario brothers, nintendo's flagship franchise and mascot, universally recognized across all media does not

[pastel token]

i think i would pukje all my guts out violently

if kh came with a set htat had aerith i would be ok

[topaz hemlock]

but what if it comes with vincent valentine cloud?

[pastel token]

i literally just need the hair piece i can figure the rest out

whatever

idgaf about that twink

[supple pendant]

[soft forge]

i can only assume the reason ac got minifigs is because its trying to be a fabuland throwback

[pastel token]

also again having clouds hair piece would solve every problem

i wonder how theyd do his sword for kh tho

[supple pendant]

i think having mario as this weird digital figure thing is fine but not in lieu of other stuff

yfm

[pastel token]

zelda is also getting minifigs

[supple pendant]

yeah

like what the actual fuck lmao

[pastel token]

theres literally only one reason mario isnt minifigs rn and its because lego wanted to be the fuckin teachers pet

[supple pendant]

yepppp

dorkass bitches

[worthy tendon]

I thought ff7 Lego was confirmed awhile back

[pastel token]

it was an unofficial "collab"

[supple pendant]

the digital thing is just not cool enough or replayable enough to be worth all this

[pastel token]

i literally dont know what came of that giveaway

btw

[worthy tendon]

Oh so no mini fig

[topaz hemlock]

lego told them to hold on bc theyre gonna release aeriths house as a set

[supple pendant]

[pastel token]

it was the church

lay off.

also yea they were umm mini land scale

[supple pendant]

booooooooooooooooooo

[pastel token]

i haven't seen any leaks for splatoon

and zelda didn't go dark until after we knew abt the set

true

4 if you count the mini one in dry bowser's castle

[slate pewter]

can you guys support this so i can own it

[worthy tendon]

how are these sets 2k pieces

[supple pendant]

My Peach’s castle is like 4,000 😭

[worthy tendon]

yeah but thats a moc

i think if these got approved they would be diminished

[supple pendant]

Disney castle is a similar piece count

Sauron too

[worthy tendon]

to your castle or the f-zero set?

[soft forge]

ideas sets are often pretty part heavy

particularly recent ones

of the sets that arent retired literally ony 3 are under 1k

[pastel token]

they generally get cut down a lot

on release

[supple pendant]

mine

[lime sundial]

Yo, this shit would be fire tbh

[analog tapir]

Lego Zelda finally happening

https://vxtwitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1795444496399786102?t=c-7XcF50sIbbwrr7co9ugw&s=19

[opaque sierra]

300 is diabolical

looks amazing though

[slate pewter]

we're gonan get minifigs for everyone but mario

[supple pendant]

thats literally what it seems like

i fear i died and went to hell

[soft forge]

it being a 2 in 1 set is cool

[worthy tendon]

How long did it take for Minecraft to get mini figs

[soft forge]

it started June 2012 with the microworld series (no figs) and got its first minifigure sets in november 2014

[worthy tendon]

It’s looking kind of grim then

[analog tapir]

Lego Mario Kart is our last hope

[supple pendant]

there's no hope lol

mario kart is using the ugly figures

[pastel token]

tbf minecraft had less financial investment in microworld

they didnt need to pitch it with expensive digital figurines to make it work

it was already somewhat applicable to minifig scale

its like

idk theres no reason to assume itll never happen theyre not gonna drop the nintendo brand now that its spread so wide and clearly its all doing well

[supple pendant]

until then i will continue to drag lego to hell and back

[soft forge]

if we ever do get minifigs and they decide to use them in this same general Super Mario™ theme stuff, do you think they'd make koopas minifigs

[worthy tendon]

Maybe

But i think the digifig ones could still work

[soft forge]

idk they're like. incredibly large for minifig scale

[worthy tendon]

I know toad and goomba are fine though so maybe they won’t

[soft forge]

i feel like most of the digifig models are too ingrained in the blocky artstyle they're going for and would look weird next to a normal rounded minifig of mario. like the cuboid mushrooms just. wouldn't work

[pastel token]

im sure mushrooms would just use a toad mold

minifig head mushroom cap hat

[soft forge]

yeah that'd make sense

[analog tapir]

Navi and the Deku Sprout are so funny

[soft forge]

young link is using that new-ish plastic skirt piece

man these look so good. its so annoying that mario doesn't have these

[supple pendant]

speak on it queen!!!

[soft forge]

extremely hot take: I think the LEGO® Super Mario™ theme should include LEGO® Minifigures™

[supple pendant]

thats not a hot take i assure you!!!!

its the Right™️ take

[unborn shell]

I think the digital figures are not a bad idea but they should also have side sets that include minifigures

Also the current state for Lego Mario isn’t the best because they just keep on reusing older characters such as goombas and piranha plants when they could bring others like charging chuck bronzer and maybe even bomb boo

[supple pendant]

I actually agree

[lime sundial]

Bro
Imagine if they made Lego Snailicorn.

[unborn shell]

that would be amazing

[soft forge]

hey wait this usb charging thing didn't even turn out to be true they're just reselling the exact same figures

[unborn shell]

Don’t even know why there reselling the digital figures and in these new sets ur getting less

[soft forge]

rebranding the theme with less focus on the figures

[supple pendant]

$50 for them is still way too high imo

and since lots of people have already bought them I don't see them selling well

[unborn shell]

Why are they reselling it tho everyone has the digital figures

[pastel token]

they're selling them for cheaper now + if they stopped selling the digifigs theyd have to actually reboot the line to not need them

[supple pendant]

maybe they're clearing out stock

🤭

[pastel token]

[unborn shell]

[supple pendant]

their retirement dates are 2026 though

although, that was the original retirement date for the digifigures. idk if they were like oh shit we gotta switch marketing courses rq

[pastel token]

wait really? maybe there is hope then

[supple pendant]

yeah i remember it being that

I will never have hope again i fear

they stomped it out of me with mediocrity

[supple pendant]

https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/smart-bricks-to-be-trialed-in-lego-jungle-explorer-base-set/

and there it is

so lego mario never needed to be like this but they did it just cuz

😍

cc: @pastel token this is fucking crazy 💀

[inland gust]

lego boomer: i liked it better when bricks were dumb.

[supple pendant]

LOL

literally

[worthy tendon]

So digiminifigs are possible?

[supple pendant]

its not the minifigs that are interactive, its specific bricks i believe

regardless they could've just. done this to start 💀

instead of this monstrosity

[worthy tendon]

Maybe it wasn’t possible back then

[supple pendant]

they've had light bricks since way before lego mario

so i fear it was

how embarrassing

(for them)

[soft forge]

it seems like it is the minifigs

what happened to my image

includes an interactive brick, 8 tile tags, 3 interactive minifigures and a wireless charger

[worthy tendon]

so they make noise?

[pastel token]

i wonder how this... works

TBH

if they are doing this

sorry this is my usual "how can i make this about hope and joy"

it does feel like mario is a no-brainer for the future

unifying the digifig production cycle across all licenses makes sense

[worthy tendon]

yeah like this seems innovative

[pastel token]

they can stop producing the big clunky digifigs and make ones that function as minifigs

[worthy tendon]

and mario digifigs were like the prototype

[pastel token]

yea exactly

it does feel kind of nuts just because like

i understand there being a gap between minifigs and digifigs

mario's kind of play is a lot more tactile than minifig role playing

just by scale alone

i'd go so far as to say digital minifigs is a hard sell but it'll probably work just fine

everything in lego mario's current design vernacular is big and easy to pick up and handle whereas minifig scale seems almost intended for display and not as much rigorous/active play

[soft forge]

the official page about this is a 404 which is. odd

was this accidentally revealed early or something

there's not much info about what this entails beyond that promo image and sentence

incredible strides in Lego technology

audible Minifigure shitting

[topaz hemlock]

hes in the fartis

[worthy tendon]

Perfect for the Wario mini fig

[unborn shell]

I am so confused with this

Like how does this work

[soft forge]

speakers

[unborn shell]

Oh yeah true lol

[supple pendant]

OH SHITTTT COOL

[supple pendant]

It was on the UK page

This would actually be insanely cool for Mario…

[unborn shell]

If they don’t do this for Mario that would be a huge miss

[unborn shell]

Y’all i just watched a video saying that apparently the 18+ Mario set is supposed to be a giant yoshi like the bowser and pirhana plant

Video is by stud-lord

[pastel token]

could just link the video

[analog tapir]

what the heck is a "giant Yoshi king"

[unborn shell]

My bad didn’t mean to put king

Here I can link it

https://youtu.be/a4Y6R325vgw?si=Fd88dSVnj-QXm2GG

[pastel token]

@supple pendant

[supple pendant]

Oh god

well

[unborn shell]

I think a yoshi would be cool

[soft forge]

sounds like it could be interesting

i imagine itd be similar to the recent simba build

[pastel token]

its ok glimm

i feel you

[soft forge]

they got the curves pretty cool on this guy so i think they could capture a yoshi properly

[unborn shell]

Honestly I’m excited for a yoshi

[pastel token]

@ anyone currently thinking "I dont mind that theyre still making digifig sets!" are you actually buying them

[unborn shell]

Yeah lol

I basically collect everything Mario

[soft forge]

i dont mind it in the sense that its like. a thing that exists that i dont actively like

[pastel token]

how many are you buying

[unborn shell]

I basically have the whole line💀

[pastel token]

fair enough

[pastel token]

lego mario is not a particularly profitable line for the exact gripes me and glimm are currently having with it

it doesnt appeal broadly to mario fans or lego fans

most mario sets are found in bargain bins

[unborn shell]

I can see why many don’t like the sets

[soft forge]

true

i see a lot of lego mario at my local smiths

[supple pendant]

This is also like. A boring set tbh they’ve done it for the last 3

(Counting this one)

[soft forge]

i want them to do consoles again

[pastel token]

i dont!

at least not unless we get stuff like the sonic sets first

the once a year 18+ sets should be like

a lot more of the line

and if the alternative werent lukewarm digifig sets i'd be more open to experimentation

[supple pendant]

Yeah agree

The options are ugly baby toy or boring display

[supple pendant]

Oh this is even worse

Ijbol

$130 for pixels plzzzzzz

Be fr

[analog tapir]

8-Bit Yoshi... sure

[worthy tendon]

It’s a mosaic?

This is fan shit from like the 2000s

[supple pendant]

I don’t know if it’ll be a mosaic, it sounds like it’ll be the Jakks version

This is mega embarrassing

[soft forge]

i mean i can get behind this idea but like. read the room lego

[worthy tendon]

Jakks version?

[supple pendant]

like this but smw

i guess

ijbol

[worthy tendon]

Oh it’s voxels

This is still very lego ideas tier

[soft forge]

if its like a standalone voxel sprite like the Lego Minecraft sword rather than the Art sets then it may be neat

damn it discord

[analog tapir]

if it was like the 35th anniversary amiibo that would be cool

[analog tapir]

but like, lego

[supple pendant]

to me this is one of the worst set concepts i've ever heard

like what a joke

[worthy tendon]

Yeah this is something that doesn’t need to be a set

It’s a moc

[supple pendant]

like you're making pixels....with blocks.....groundbreaking

[soft forge]

it says 8-Bit 2D style

[worthy tendon]

Dude it’s just like Minecraft

Hey they should put Minecraft in Lego

That would be cool

[worthy tendon]

If it’s 2d then it’s like i said about it being a shitty mosaic

[soft forge]

hm 1215 pieces

[supple pendant]

1,000+ pieces for pixels ijbol

lego mario is a joke

always has been

[soft forge]

im going to count how many pixels are in the smw sprites tk determine whether this is supposed to be a voxel build or an art theme mural

[worthy tendon]

It’s probably going to be big

[supple pendant]

yeah

[worthy tendon]

Like each pixel being at least 3x3

[soft forge]

for mario riding yoshi smw sprites? no way

worst case scenario its gonna be literally one of these wirh 1x1 dots for each pixel

oh my god discord

[supple pendant]

oh god

horrendous

[worthy tendon]

The sprites are too small for something like that

[soft forge]

true, the actual set would probably be smaller considering the part count

these art sets tend to run around 2000, but that also includes extra studs to make alternate pictures

[inland gust]

the this

[soft forge]

i think its likely to be a "block based" model where each pixel is a 2x2 stud cube like the Minecraft sword i posted earlier

[pastel token]

wait

i fuck with this

they got me

sorry guys

if theyre not fuckint around it will comw with collective cape mario minifig

[worthy tendon]

(theyre fucking around)

[soft forge]

i just had a terrible vision of the set looking like ass because the lego pallete doesnt suit the smw sprites right

[pastel token]

i wonder if it will literally be the smw sprite or like

a mosaic of the art

i did that once

[worthy tendon]

it says 8bit

im not assuming the art

unless its

an 8bit version of the art

[pastel token]

if not for it saying 2d style id think it was voxels

[supple pendant]

If it came with minifig they’d know sadly

[pastel token]

insane

insane if nothing

theyre insane

whats wrong with lego genuinely

[unborn shell]

i feel like the set could be really good or really bad

[craggy magnet]

Yes

[winter nova]

I have a luigi and a set but luigi is broken

[lime sundial]

Mama mia

[supple pendant]

@worthy tendon a

[worthy tendon]

jeez

they didnt even get marios colors right

[inland gust]

this looks fake

like what the hell

[worthy tendon]

why does every non-digifig set have to be some kind of confrapication

[pastel token]

sorry guys i want it

[inland gust]

i learn new words thanks to shouty

this word doesn't appear on dictionary.com

[supple pendant]

Exactly

[inland gust]

what the hell is this word shouty

[worthy tendon]

its not a real word

its just a portmanteau of contraption and fabrication

[pastel token]

i do like this one

[worthy tendon]

thanks

[pastel token]

the word and the set

i think lego sets that are meant to be Like This where hteyre a big brick built Thing and they have a little doodad are common

pac-man and the NES have the same gimmick

[soft forge]

fucked up that mario isnt pink and cyan like his smw sprite but i can forgive that for lego color palette reasons

why is yoshi's nose a seperate piece is he suppoaed to open up his mouth and shoot out his tongue or something

[inland gust]

it's possible

[soft forge]

wait is this actually real i cant find a source

[pastel token]

it leaked its definitely real

weve known this was gonna be the next 18+ set

yoshis nose is like that beacuse theres light depth in the whole thing

[soft forge]

yeah i remember that but this could be a mockup based on that leak

im mainly just confused why i cant find anything about it. 1-up world exclusive reveal

[pastel token]

there is no reason to assume this is fake

@supple pendant woukd have the source

[analog tapir]

I saw it on another server first, so its spreading at least

guy who shared it shares other lego leaks often

[soft forge]

actually i just realised something thats really going to bug me now

the sprite is inaccurate

when idle on yoshi mario's cape covers his back because hes in profile, not 3/4ths

[pastel token]

luckily its lego so it probably takes like 20 minutes and baout $10 worth of new parts to fix this

[slate pewter]

The cape might just be on the other side

[soft forge]

yeah but thats another 10 on top of the 130 itll cost

the emblem on the hat also looks like it has its yellow and white the wrong way around but that can probably be solved with the extra parts that come with it

[pastel token]

the way its positioned still makes me think the cape moves

which is why its like that

[soft forge]

that would make sense for the innacuracy

[pastel token]

or if yoshi bumps then the cape is on a hinge and it just follows gravity

i think i can swallow a little inaccuracy for the play function it obviously has

[tepid pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/flapjack-captain-knuckles-impressed-face-gif-22382537

[pastel token]

called it

WAIT

HIS TONGUE?

WHAT THE FUCK

i need to see this bitch moving NOWWWWWWW

[tepid pawn]

It seems like it's just his mouth piece moving up and down but that still kicks ass.

[pastel token]

i mean part of the mechanism is still the tongue sticking out

[tepid pawn]

I don't think so?

[pastel token]

did you miss this

[tepid pawn]

I think the tounge is always, "out" like that, it's just the mouth piece moving up to reveal it.

[pastel token]

it looks like his snout rotates upwards

[tepid pawn]

Yeah I saw it in its idle position, and I'd say it still lines up?

[tepid pawn]

Yeah.

[pastel token]

the tongue going out wouldn't be that strange

or complex

[tepid pawn]

Oh wait it has action lines.

[pastel token]

it seems like everything i figured would move moves on this, and the tongue goes out which is nuts

[tepid pawn]

Nevermind.

OH I SEE HOW IT WORKS.

[pastel token]

yea

[tepid pawn]

The tounge moves out and slides the mouth piece up with that peg.

[pastel token]

i mean the whole thing is extremely layered anyway

oh yea that makes sense

[soft forge]

okay this looks sick now

and the cape does in fact flap so that is the reason for the inaccuracy

[supple pendant]

its real btw

AI lego sets are really easy to spot bc AI has no idea how LEGO works

[supple pendant]

Found it early

[craggy magnet]

HOLY SHIT

WHERE

[topaz hemlock]

Judging by the price tag design

I can confidentally say this is Target

[craggy magnet]

Alright

I’ll see if I can go to target in a bit

[topaz hemlock]

Dont take my word for it

[supple pendant]

Target

Applez is correct

[topaz hemlock]

As always.

[supple pendant]

You know what. I’ll agree.

[craggy magnet]

nvm they don’t have it

[supple pendant]

wtf how do I keep stumbling on these early releases

[worthy tendon]

why is baby yoshi at a ghost house

[inland gust]

that's glow yoshi

[worthy tendon]

but it has green shoes

[hushed cloak]

glow yoshi

[worthy tendon]

Glow Yoshi doesn’t have green shoes

[pastel token]

fake glow yoshi fans

definitive proof its not a glow yoshi

btw

[worthy tendon]

So i wasn’t mansplaining for nothing

[pastel token]

its ok you werent mansplaining you were actually truthing

[craggy magnet]

where

[supple pendant]

Meijer

[craggy magnet]

aw.

[craggy magnet]

can’t wait for these to finally release 🔥
been needing a cheaper peaches castle

[supple pendant]

Speak of the devil I got that one this morning by chance 💀 I have all the koopalings now!

[craggy magnet]

Lucky.

Can’t wait to get these sets

[supple pendant]

3 more days!!

[craggy magnet]

[supple pendant]

Wow!!!

[minor gate]

man I had no idea the LEGO Mario starter set came with an actual human

[lime sundial]

Ah yes my favorite Lego Mario set

[craggy magnet]

chat should I get this set

[supple pendant]

All the koopalings

[craggy magnet]

Custom set moment

[craggy magnet]

Also, where did you pick that up at?

Target again?

[pastel token]

god bless ur castle moc

[craggy magnet]

what if

next year

they start making air ships again

[supple pendant]

Not sure they will

seems like the line is going full tilt mario kart

😵‍💫

the last one i'll probably get for right now is "adventures with interactive peach" cuz it has the bowser letter tile in it

then i'll ask for the haunted mansion for my bday

[craggy magnet]

Ok

[craggy magnet]

I found the airship set for 50 dollars at a Ross

[supple pendant]

A steal

[unborn shell]

I thought target street dated the sets

Once I tried to get a early lego set there and they said that I couldn’t purchase it

[supple pendant]

They might sometimes

They didn’t when I got the bowser train

[unborn shell]

Just got the king boo set early at meijer

[supple pendant]

yay!!!!

meijer is awesome

[supple pendant]

Woo

[pastel token]

goomba

[soft forge]

why do they have jumpers instead of barcode tiles

[supple pendant]

so u can stack them

[craggy magnet]

goomba battle pack

[craggy magnet]

The codes are at the back

like this

(this is the goomba from the penguin set)

[supple pendant]

Yessss I realized that after building

[craggy magnet]

That’s a cool gimmick tho

I’m going to the lego store tommorow to get the new peach castle set and the goomba battle pack

Ill then finally have enough stuff to remake the opening cutscene of nsmbu in lego

[craggy magnet]

Went to target and holy shit

The line at the lego store was long asf

line goes all the way outside

[minor gate]

I love how the newer sets (and even some of the older ones) are designed so that Mario/Luigi/Peach are optional

[supple pendant]

I still wish they’d do minifigs so we could get some other main characters

Like Daisy, Rosalina, etc

[supple pendant]

Awww, cute!

[craggy magnet]

FUN FACT

if you’ve updated your Lego super mario figure,

if you defeat junior he makes a new sound

[craggy magnet]

I wonder how the karts will function

will they add 2 player

will the karts be digital in some sort of way

hmmm

also

what if we get another budget set

budget bowsers castle

with

a boss character

[soft forge]

the karts are very much brick built

[craggy magnet]

ok

[worthy tendon]

theyre probably going to work like the kart mocs that already exist

[supple pendant]

yeah

love mario kart with only 3 playable characters omg <3

[unborn shell]

hopefully they'll do something where the karts come with minifigs, but you can still use the digifigs

[lime sundial]

Goomba’s galore

[minor gate]

Train moment

[craggy magnet]

they have kidnapped the princess once again

[supple pendant]

save her!!

[craggy magnet]

I hope we get a budget bowser castle some time soon

I really need a bowsers castle for my collection

[craggy magnet]

holy crack

[craggy magnet]

Lots of 2021-2023 Lego super mario sets are on sale on amazon

[craggy magnet]

im gonna start making daily levels here

[craggy magnet]

I’ll problably stop at 8-4

[craggy magnet]

Mario or Luigi

19 coins

[craggy magnet]

I hope they make the things for the karts starter courses

[craggy magnet]

Fun fact

1 toad weighs 2 goombas

[craggy magnet]

squish

[tepid pawn]

They started showing off the Kart stuff??

[soft forge]

they Made minifigure size koopa shells and theyre designed to be blocky

okay this is stupid

i can accept most blocks being designed like this even if it looks terrible but this is too far

[supple pendant]

I have to be honest this is their worst wave yet

The last wave was actually not bad

But yikes

[soft forge]

characters weve seen before and baby versions of characters weve seen before

gotta praise it for accuracy to the source material

[supple pendant]

LMAO

[craggy magnet]

eh

Ill problably buy it anyway

[supple pendant]

I don’t think I’ll buy any besides Yoshi bike cuz new color

[craggy magnet]

these sets look pretty cool

that’s just me tho

the Mario kart is the one ima get

And roads garage soon

https://youtu.be/va_hDbAGq5U?si=A3DXPosZTi7_PbIK

I kinda wish they did starter courses for the karts

and they reworked the item boxes to make it in the ground

[supple pendant]

Ashnflash my biggest enemy

[unborn shell]

I honestly like these sets

Yeah it’s a shame we didn’t get minifigures but at least we got these cool karts

[pastel token]

im kinda fascinated

these aee like

kinda neat?

im surprised they just jumped in and made different characters

the way you play here feels very straightforward

[supple pendant]

it feels like mario kart live or w/e so its very blah for me

also they...did not end up using that one banana peel from the friends sets

o_0

[soft forge]

yea they did?

[supple pendant]

no they didn't?

the banana piece for mario kart is longer.

and looks like mario banana has a closer to the ground stud holder on the bottom too

[worthy tendon]

why would they use a generic banana though

and not make one for mario kart

[pastel token]

the mario kart one is generic enough without printing it could be just a general banana peel piece

the fact that they made both a generic peel and a specific mario kart one as two different moulds is funny

[worthy tendon]

yeah but it would be hard to fit the face on the generic one

[pastel token]

i think theyd have found a way

and/or thered be a universe where theres one peel mould that fits both designs

not as short as generic but not as distinct as mario kart

[worthy tendon]

a universe?

[pastel token]

they designed two moulds for a banana peel instead of making one generic one that fits both

within the same timeframe

[soft forge]

i might just be stupid but it looks like the wheels/tires might be new moulds??

[pastel token]

they dont look rubber so perhap

completely strange if theyre plastic

[soft forge]

yeah i was thinking

its hard to tell if they're rubber or plastic from the lighting

if they're rubber then thats a lot of new colors for rubber lego tires

if theyre plastic then thats a weird play experience

?????

[supple pendant]

I think ur right

It is weird as well

[craggy magnet]

I hope we get the other 2 carts

Instead of just Mario

I’ll problably get toads garage, Mario standard kart and baby Mario vs baby Luigi

I like how the Grand Prix one has the Mario kart Wii placements

[craggy magnet]

take a look at this

there is a start tile

I wonder

can you take it out
