LEGO Mario Set

[craggy magnet]

or lock it back somewhere

[pastel token]

i mean its a tile so yes

you can just put in a blank tile

[craggy magnet]

hmm

ok

[pastel token]

i dont think there's been any lego mario set where you couldnt replace the play tag tile with a regular one

[craggy magnet]

nvm

here’s a website

:)

I might buy the lakitu separately

[soft forge]

the item box has a barcode on it thats so dumb

mario gets out of his kart so he can pick up his 1 coin

WAIT WH

[pastel token]

yea

did u miss those

[soft forge]

i did

HE

[tepid pawn]

Vermin.

[slate pewter]

i feel like this is at least like

insightful in terms of how mario and luigis printed overalls would look like

[pastel token]

these are pretty cute all thints considered

[worthy tendon]

whats going on with the outlines

especially on baby luigi

[pastel token]

keeps high contrast

[soft forge]

these new images do actually make it look more like its the same hat mold

[pastel token]

@supple pendant lets recreate this torso print style for a mario minifig

[slate pewter]

fucked up that baby luigis shirt is that green color

[soft forge]

the shoes also look really strange

like i get that those are the colors of their shoes but its weird that theyre the full mold color

[inland gust]

i don't think mold comes in cyan but luigi's looks the part

[soft forge]

i think it would be better if they were the same color as their overalls and they just leave the feet pants-colored, like lego minifigs

[craggy magnet]

I think they should’ve just given them the boots

that’s just me

never mind

thought they had boots

[pastel token]

what boots

[soft forge]

all these brand tiles are really cool to have. they better be tiles at least

[pastel token]

i hope those are tiles LOL the pic looks like stickers

[worthy tendon]

why is there a food cart

[inland gust]

for the sports feel

[worthy tendon]

but why is there a qr tile in front of it

[soft forge]

they have the same form factor to the stickered tiles in the new minecraft crafting table set (2x6 tile) and those break the lego minecraft convention of having no stickers so i am nervous

[soft forge]

interact with LEGO®️ Mario

theres also barcode tiles on the item boxes, under lakitu, and in each of the karts

[worthy tendon]

but that makes sense

[craggy magnet]

Fun fact

there’s a start tile in the karts

[supple pendant]

Wait ur right

[analog tapir]

I think the funniest thing is that if you remove the pacifier, she's just gonna have a bump where her mouth should be

[soft forge]

the jumper is actually a hollow stud

[analog tapir]

Octopus Peach

[craggy magnet]

what have they done

[inland gust]

donkey kong

[hushed cloak]

dk with shit hair

[slate pewter]

are there any mario or peach emblem pieces for mario kart

[craggy magnet]

Just the standard kart one

that’s it

and baby peach and baby Luigi and baby mario

[pastel token]

on the default kart for mario yes

[inland gust]

it's going to be awesome if you can't mix and match them

[slate pewter]

i dont think u can

all the promo material shows mario and peach in karts with toad emblems

and whatnot

[worthy tendon]

yeah maybe they shouldntve had the emblems

or just have them on their own pieces

like mario dk and yoshis

[slate pewter]

awesome that lego is figuring out how to fuck up an infinite money generator concept like lego mario kart

[worthy tendon]

maybe we were better off with knex

[slate pewter]

figure wise yes

mario kart wise no

these are huge and ugly af

[pastel token]

yea but they self propelled

[slate pewter]

if lego didnt have to be so particular about their dumb digifigs they could have absolutely made karts that fit minifig scale and look normal sized

[slate pewter]

yea

[pastel token]

i think the kart thing is a little tricky because like

you need more than just an emblem to make the kart theirs

if anything they are infinite money generator-ing you because now they can sell you the exact same build in a different color

[slate pewter]

yea

or at least like

sell the pieces to replace the color

[worthy tendon]

i thought you were going to bring up size differences not just color differences

because i think you can still get away with the latter

[slate pewter]

but theyre also picking lik

a lot of mk8 cars

which do not change color anyways

[pastel token]

the latter would be less egregious in minifig scale however you'd get an even more problematic issue with teh emblems being printed on the wrong color brick

like rather than reusing the emblem and recoloring the kart you'd have a mario emblem printed onto a red brick

[slate pewter]

yea

[pastel token]

its like

kind of neat that they're going all-in on characters for this but the digifigs are still just obnoxious and it'd be better if these were minifig scale, to a degree

[worthy tendon]

yeah thats what i was talking about the round pieces

[pastel token]

i think the bigger karts are more tactile and fun to build and play with

[slate pewter]

the round pieces are good in concept but i think they want to preserve the sleekness of the karts

[pastel token]

they do the round tiles

[slate pewter]

to some extent yea

but not for the bike for example

[pastel token]

yea

[slate pewter]

its also funny that theres not any monster truck tires or anything yet

considering its Lego and youd think the appeal is mixing and matching kart parts just like mario kart

and theyve literally had an entire toyline revolving around a similar concept (mixels)

[supple pendant]

Minifigs would allow for more piece counts and better track environments tbh

[pastel token]

yea i think thats teh dynamic here

i think theyre gonna skimp out on enviros but go all in on karts

like

this is already completely unstructured

[slate pewter]

i also think minifigs would allow for like

more characters

[pastel token]

i mean yea to a degree i think we're already seeing a turnaround with mario kart

the babies are here for part reuse

but like i doubt wario and waluigi are too far off

[slate pewter]

brik built wario would be funny

[worthy tendon]

i would be surprised at the warios at this point

because it would be weird for them to be brickbuilt while mario and luigi are digifigs

[pastel token]

idk i think the idea is that the digifigs already look brick ubilt

[slate pewter]

i think warios face is like

geometrical enough to work w/ brick built

[pastel token]

id be curious what pieces theyd use for their nose and mustache

or if they'd make a custom tile

seems egregious but worth?

[slate pewter]

idk the name but theres already tthe 3 stud angle piece

or they could fucking use batarangs

[pastel token]

that would be gigantic

[supple pendant]

The reason the digifigs look like that is bc they started out with Mario as a literal brick mind u

Just a bad design all round

[pastel token]

its rly weird the whole thing

[worthy tendon]

there was a brickbuilt mario?

[supple pendant]

They started out with a Mario that was literally like a Lego brick

After they had already decided not to do minifigs

Cuz originally they were gonna do that

But some dumb dumb came up with this terrible idea

[pastel token]

isnt it beautiful that its not nintendos fault

[worthy tendon]

if it was knex mario wouldve been one of these

[supple pendant]

Ppl looove to blame them but it’s literally Lego’s fault

And also they’re coming out with interactive minifigures so there is literally 0 excuse now

Genuinely nothing

[worthy tendon]

i wonder what that will look like

[pastel token]

the interactive minifigs? weve seen em iirc

[worthy tendon]

im guessing they dont have screens

[supple pendant]

Uhhh they had a pic

No screens

The screens on digifigs have always been terrible given they look like a lovecraftian horror when they’re not on and an annoying cocomelon character when they are

[worthy tendon]

yeah i dont like them on the eyes

i understand why theyre on the torsos though

[supple pendant]

I guess

I don’t see the need for them at all

[worthy tendon]

i wouldnt mind if they were still brick built, even on a minifig scale

like this

[supple pendant]

Just do minifigs at that point

[worthy tendon]

i kind of like this though

but i guess this is minecrafts deal now

[supple pendant]

Nope even Minecraft has minifigs

[slate pewter]

yea

the one time where nintendo is normal

[still night]

It wasn’t always like that with K’nex, the Mario Kart Wii stuff was more reasonably scaled.

[worthy tendon]

thats because thats how big the karts were in mkwii

[craggy magnet]

Actually, Minecraft does have minifigs

[worthy tendon]

yeah but theyre still blocky

[supple pendant]

That’s what I said

I said even Minecraft has minifigs

[soft forge]

theyre normal figs with cube head molds

[minor gate]

At this point the LEGO Group might as well be mocking us by still not introducing minifigures

I feel like this is probably the closest we'll ever get

[craggy magnet]

Summer wave, minifigs could release.

Like a mario series blind bag

[pastel token]

would be nice

[craggy magnet]

they could make like

10 characters

and then

another 10 next year

and then

have 1 character exclusive to the blind bag

minifigs could release along the Mario kart sets but
I have very high doubts of that

[soft forge]

unforgivable that lego baby peach is real before lego wario

[supple pendant]

i made her in studio LOL

one of her hair pieces is a new part

[minor gate]

I used to have that but I deleted it because I never used it

how'd you get custom decals and Peach's crown on there?

[pastel token]

you can make custom pieces using partdesigner which i think comes packed with studio

[soft forge]

what part of her hair is new?

[minor gate]

oh nice

I remember only knowing how to add decals, I had no idea custom pieces like that were possible

https://tenor.com/view/the-more-you-know-gif-26317296

[craggy magnet]

those parts to the left are cool

[supple pendant]

the piece above her ear is a 1 x 1 curved slope, previously only existed in 1 x 2 :o

[supple pendant]

i have so many

[craggy magnet]

Dang

[lime sundial]

..I mean, at least there’s an easy way to get the Mario and Luigi hats now

Really, the only thing I like about these new sets is the new characters and the items

And the B-Dasher.

[craggy magnet]

the digital mario figure would work well with the knex karts

[pastel token]

wrong channel?

[craggy magnet]

oh

[craggy magnet]

found some Mario minifigs on Ali express

you can get a full set for 15 dollars

I’ll buy it soon

also found a counterfeit ? Block

and a counterfeit pirana plant

[supple pendant]

These builds r cool

Notice how they are immediately cooler than any set so far

[craggy magnet]

My only concern are the toads

Mario brick headz

malikarting

[craggy magnet]

also seems wide enough for your digital fig

I’ve seen some minifig karts

[slate pewter]

these designs are kind of unironically interesting

[craggy magnet]

I would like these karts in the next Mario kart game

I mean

Just look at it

Luigi’s kart is the only one with a circle tile

[craggy magnet]

real

there’s also karts for these things

[supple pendant]

Why they cut off their arms

[craggy magnet]

I don’t know

[supple pendant]

please bring the arms back. thank you.

[craggy magnet]

They give you the arms with the minifigs

Absoblute fire printing

[supple pendant]

Please bring them back please ,

[craggy magnet]

one day
I’m gonna buy a lot of rainbow colored Lego bricks

rainbow toad

[craggy magnet]

these boxes look cool

here’s all the boxes with front and backs

wtf

dk double dash

it would be cool if we got baseplates and parts of tracks in these sets

[craggy magnet]

if my calculations are correct 🤓, we could be getting all the karts over the course of 3 waves

next summer we might get Luigi standard kart

next winter we get peach standard kart

[supple pendant]

Im genuinely hoping it’s a one wave thing bc these are lowkey ass

[pastel token]

i might get the dk jumbo one sorry im weak for mkdd

[worthy tendon]

i wonder how different the dk model is from the one for the dk set

[supple pendant]

Looks the same to me, I have it

[worthy tendon]

what about the back pouch

[supple pendant]

There’s a thing on that where you can replace with a tile and I bet they just put that there

[craggy magnet]

eh, atleast they’re making more sets where you don’t have to have a digital figure

[craggy magnet]

baby mario vs baby Luigi WOULDVE made more sense if it had item boxes

I mean come on how are you supposted to hit someone

it’s balloon battle after all

the one game mode centered around items

[craggy magnet]

you can put diddy in the front I think and have dk hanging on by the back handle

Hmmm…

Where have I seen this before…

[craggy magnet]

https://lucky-bricks.de/search/?qs=mario+kart

[craggy magnet]

I hope they make double dash sets

[craggy magnet]

nvm

[craggy magnet]

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mario-kart-standard-kart-72032

[soft forge]

the smw 18+ set actually has a digifig tile unlike piranha plant

it plays smw overworld theme and apparently reacts to you cranking the mode despite not doing any tile conveyer shenanigans

i see it detects the small amount of vibration caused by all the moving parts

[craggy magnet]

another set coming soon

its a poly bag this time

[lime sundial]

Imma be honest
The Mario kart sets are just, mid

I mean, some of them are pretty cool but.. mostly mid as hell

[unborn shell]

I like the sets but some feel like there missing something like a ramp or something like that

[craggy magnet]

goomba

[craggy magnet]

they’re just karts
can’t even make a full course out of em smh

[supple pendant]

I feel this is pertinent to share here, I got Peach pad printed

Cc: @copper bay

[slate pewter]

Awesome

[supple pendant]

Thanks SMG I’m so happy ,

[slate pewter]

Seeing a professional looking Lego Mario mini figure is so weird to me because ive fantasized about it for forever

It's like seeing something that's not supposed to exist

In a good way

[supple pendant]

wait that’s so nice thank u ;-;

I know what u mean

[copper bay]

Thats so awesome!

[supple pendant]

Thank u!!!!

[craggy magnet]

haha no arms

[supple pendant]

Think again

[hushed cloak]

HERRR

she is so pretty omg

[craggy magnet]

What have you done

[supple pendant]

Tysm I’m in love with ha

[hushed cloak]

you're welcome!!

[craggy magnet]

what kind of satanic ritual is this

[supple pendant]

its fine!!!!!!!!

[copper basalt]

Why is peach performing the severed arms ritual

[supple pendant]

But the PRINT is what we need the audience to see!!

[copper basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/mort-crying-scared-gif-21887116

[supple pendant]

LMFAO

[minor gate]

Why can’t lego do this the electronic figures suck

[minor gate]

The Castle looks dope

[supple pendant]

lol thank you so much!!

[supple pendant]

genuinely never thought they'd add another starter

[pastel token]

this is the most "its actually over" ive felt so far

making a new starter set is insane

[supple pendant]

I KNOW

[unborn shell]

The two new starter sets better be new characters

Like Wario or Rosalina

[soft forge]

if they do a wario figure is it gonna be voiced by kevin

[copper basalt]

They won't. Hope this helps

[soft forge]

actually they will release a lego wario figure and itll be voiced by kevin and the mario & luigi figures will receive updates that also replace their voices for the same reason as mario 64 ds in warioware

[inland gust]

they might have do that at some point in the future

[copper basalt]

"they will release wario" in a lego set based on nsmb

[pastel token]

what is this attitude

they're making mario kart sets now

wario will be included one way or another

[soft forge]

what other options for digifigs are there

[pastel token]

daisy and rosalina

[soft forge]

true

[pastel token]

odds are it's daisy, especially if its only one

[inland gust]

guys we're finally getting the donkey kong digifig

[copper basalt]

at most it will be a figure

[soft forge]

have you kept up with the lego mario line

[inland gust]

yea that's why i said we're finally getting the donkey kong digifig

[soft forge]

i would love dk squished into the same rectangular form

[inland gust]

besides powerups how important is mario's form factor

[soft forge]

its gotta fit a screen, batteries, and a scanner on the bottom

dk could be made more bulky and shapely but mario as a rectangle is kinda the minimum

[inland gust]

the expectation is that dk is more bulky and shapely

i just mean how important is it that mario is as trim as he is

[pastel token]

dk already has a mario kart set so i think hes off the table

[soft forge]

well it means he can fit in one hand and be tossed around n stuff

[pastel token]

i think daisy is the no brainer but im sure wario and waluigi will both appear in the mario kart line considering we already have the babies

[soft forge]

easy to make him "jump" and walk

[pastel token]

daisy would also make it "4 player" with 2 boys and 2 girls

im just still floored theyre making another starter set. i just dont understand how this business model is Working for them

i havent bought any mario set aside from the 18+ sets since like, i dont know, wave 3?

i think the newest set i have is the shoe

if not peach outright

[soft forge]

seems kids really like the playsets

[supple pendant]

What’s crazy to me is there’s no in between. You either have a baby toy or giant statues that you can’t really do much with

So like what is the tea

Like the course builder game aspect is really really reeeeeeally piss poor

[unborn shell]

Is that at target?

[supple pendant]

Meijer

[supple pendant]

Ooop they had the entire wave today

[unborn shell]

Nice

I went to my local meijer and didn’t find any

[copper basalt]

wtf is meijer

[supple pendant]

It’s a grocery store chain

[unborn shell]

Ima try and check khols cause I do like these Mario kart sets

[unborn shell]

Nothing at khols

[copper basalt]

This where you went??

[split topaz]

Lmfao

[craggy magnet]

reals

[supple pendant]

My bf surprised me with this today! Lol

[fallow mantle]

Bought this yesterday

[soft forge]

https://fixupx.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1877400996462166302

[soft forge]

game boy 18+ set apparently

[inland gust]

game adult

[supple pendant]

gameboy is the second* 18+ set 👀

[soft forge]

i wonder if they're going to acknowledge super mario land

[inland gust]

they have to

[still night]

$170 for a presumably life-sized Game Boy is stupid, this thing is going to be tiny.

[supple pendant]

thats not the same set

[soft forge]

either its life size or it has an extremely disproportionately large dpad

[supple pendant]

yall

the gameboy set is $70

this $169.99 set is something else

This is the gameboy

[still night]

Still overpriced, but much less so.

[supple pendant]

Agree

[pastel mural]

There is no way I find out two freakingn years later they retired the Luigi’s Mansion legos before I could even get them

[supple pendant]

Sets are usually only around for a year or two :(

[pastel mural]

nooooooo 💔 CRUEL reality for me with adhd (i forgot)

[languid schooner]

Seeing all these MK sets makes me want one lol

[still night]

At this point they’re all going to be outdated within the year because of the new Mario Kart coming out on the Switch 2.

[supple pendant]

if they play stupid games they win stupid prizes

[lime sundial]

That’s awesome!

Kinda wish Luigi and peach got their own karts now

[pastel token]

welcome back to life

[pastel token]

oh yea

@supple pendant luigi lasting longer than the others? fsr? lol?

[inland gust]

he's just that popular

[pastel token]

mario and peach being retired next summer bodes well

thats only like what 2 years on shelves if tha

t

[still night]

Also the DK Jumbo gets retired earlier than the rest of the Mario Kart stuff for some reason

[inland gust]

clearly they're planning to split off donkey kong from mario

[pastel token]

yea but that matters less

the interactive sets are the baseline for all subsequent sets

[slate pewter]

The Mario is so cute I like his head shape and proportions a lot

[still night]

Yeah but it's still weird to me that the sets with the soon-to-be-outdated MK8 aesthetic get to last longer than the DK Jumbo set that is intentionally outdated and therefore somewhat timeless

[still night]

I like him a lot too! I wonder if he scales well with The Mighty Bowser...

[pastel token]

i dunno if theres that much to it

dks just a less popular character

[still night]

I guess that makes sense, yeah

Still not sure why they're making MK8-themed merch at all now that MK9 is so soon but I suppose now is their last chance if they're dead-set on doing it

[inland gust]

it's just what they allow to license out

it made sense when mk8 was the latest mario kart game

[pastel token]

mk8 also has big boy marketing presence

the universal ride is mk8

[worthy tendon]

Yeah they’re not gonna risk leaks by distributing marketing materials for their next games to licensees

[hushed cloak]

and movie too

[supple pendant]

I wonder why they're retiring before luigi

unless luigi's date just hasn't been announced

or updated

[unborn shell]

Wait is this real

Also ya think they will reveal any sets on Mario day

[inland gust]

this set ofc

[unborn shell]

Where did yall get it from

[pastel token]

@supple pendant had the hookup

lego sets usually leak so no point in doubting its veracity

we know the next 18+ set is a mario kart like this anyway

[tepid pawn]

What the Fuck.

He legs look weirdly short but otherwise this is good.

[supple pendant]

Yeah it is real!!!!

[tepid pawn]

It's weird that they'd be retiring the Mario and Peach digifigs but seemingly keep going with the Luigi one.

I'd just sorta hope for all replacements to roll out at a same-ish time.

[supple pendant]

I hope they all get retired and we neva see them again tbh

[worthy tendon]

Reminds me of movie Mario

Along with the big ass hat

[tepid pawn]

I wonder if it'll scale well with the giant Lego Bowser and Piranha Plant.

[unborn shell]

Wonder if they will officially show it off on Mario day

[analog tapir]

probably

they've been doing Lego announcements the last few MAR10 days

[soft forge]

is that a new mould for the moustache

feels crazy to be 2025 and still have mario kart 8 standard kart merchandise

[supple pendant]

not convinced the mustache is a new mold

the nose i think is

[pastel token]

im wondering how it was made otherwise

theres some peculiar stud placement

[supple pendant]

My theory issss

maybe this

strategically placed

but who knows

[pastel token]

the curve upwards at the ends is really smooth

[worthy tendon]

I just noticed how detailed his eyes are

They got both highlights in the pupils

And the gradient on the iris

[supple pendant]

that's whats stopping me from thinking its that...but who knows!!!

[slate pewter]

Are his eyes and mouth gonna be stickers

[soft forge]

i doubt it

i dont think the theme has done stickers at all besides the pre applied barcodes

[pastel token]

yea its basically all been printed pieces

#yum

its def prints too the M on the hat is 2 quarter curve pieces

[lime sundial]

wh, what’s happening I haven’t been paying attention

[pastel token]

new sets reveal next week

[supple pendant]

mario kart subtheme has stickers

[lime sundial]

Ah ok, thank you very much

Also, I saw the massive Mario kart set

..the price is the only thing keeping me from buying it

[unborn shell]

Hopefully cause on the website they haven’t said anything

[pastel token]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LegoNewsAndRumors/comments/1j41jw1/danish_retailer_leaks_for_super_mario_icons_and/

things are happening even when you cant see it

also we've like known theres been new sets for a while thats juts how lego leaks work

[unborn shell]

True

[soft forge]

every time i look at the brick built mario i mistake it for an ai lego image for a second

the face is so weirdly well shaped

[supple pendant]

thissss we've known what the prices are for this upcoming wave for a while

[tepid pawn]

https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/super-mario/mario-day

[supple pendant]

oh yeah i saw that

we'll know the sets monday i fear

[pastel token]

if the new sets drop with wario i might have to buckle

like brick built wario

i dont think hell get a digifig def not over daisy

i might buckle for daisy digifig as well

[supple pendant]

oh yeah i would definitely get a daisy set tbh

just for the elements

i think there's a high chance it could be daisy

[worthy tendon]

theres speculation for a daisy digifig?

[pastel token]

theres speculation for a new digifig

[supple pendant]

Nothing other than purely guessing

but yeah a new starter course is rumored

[pastel token]

and itd probably be daisy above anyone else

[worthy tendon]

yeah

maybe with mario wonder stuff

[supple pendant]

i could be into it

[pastel token]

idk i think id be surprised if they pivoted out of mario kart rn

[worthy tendon]

warios chance is mario kart

[pastel token]

i think she'd be a good starter kit for a mario kart specific one

[worthy tendon]

they would make a daisy digifig for kart?

[supple pendant]

yeah

[pastel token]

frankly i think it's absurd theyd make a new digifig at all

but if they made one now it'd be for kart

[supple pendant]

i think making mario kart in the first place with only 3 digifigs was dumb

if they're gonna make us sit through another wave of this though they BETTER at least do rainbow road or SOMETHING

[tepid pawn]

I thought they were retiring the digifigs.

Thus any new characters would be brick built, like DK or the Babies.

[supple pendant]

They did and they brought them back for some reason

and then mario and peach currently retire next year

its a mess, truly

[pastel token]

i forget is luigi sooner or later than they are

[supple pendant]

later i think?

[pastel token]

sadly i could see them releasing peach and mario kart starter kits

[tepid pawn]

Also I don't want digifig Wario cause he's gonna be Kevin Wario.

[supple pendant]

u know if its peach im into it

[pastel token]

i just think their whole approach with the digifigs is like absurd levels of sunk cost

[supple pendant]

luigi retirement is december as opposed to july of next year lol

[pastel token]

they're sitting on the worlds most obvious goldmine with a mario kart CMF

[supple pendant]

absolutely, i feel like it's just way more trouble than it wouldve been to just do it correctly the first time

the sets not really being compatible with any other themes kind of goes against what lego is

and they are also ugly

(the digifigs i mean some of the sets r cool)

[supple pendant]

one sentence horror story

[pastel token]

i dont think theyd start using kevin now

but who knows

at any time they could drop an update where kevin does all the voices for mario and luigi

[soft forge]

it feels kinda funny like. the series started out and it was like. "wow you guys made it like a video game. thats neat" and now we're 5 years in and they're still showing off the mario brick making sound effects when you shake it

[pastel token]

$10 cmf with a minifig and a different kart

[soft forge]

they need to have the "LEGO Wario Time" clip

[pastel token]

they might already

[soft forge]

have there been any "new" archive martinet clips since kevin took over?

[supple pendant]

100%

The figures can like barely hold anything also or move

[pastel token]

it wont happen but im praying with all my strength the mario figure comes with a minifig

[supple pendant]

I wish

[pastel token]

i think about that one very brief rumor of minifigs coming before mario kart

do u remember

[supple pendant]

Yesssss

I heard it from two diff people

[pastel token]

brooo

either theyhad the same source or lego nearly buckled

[supple pendant]

I need to be even more of a hater

[soft forge]

the Mario Merchandise Without Fully Detailed Blue Eyes Alarm went off at Nintendo HQ and they forced Lego to melt all the ones they had made so far

[supple pendant]

LMFAOOOOOO

The alarms were the alarmo prototypes

[unborn shell]

honestly i think daisy is more of a chance because wario has a bigger build and he wouldnt fit with other sets

[supple pendant]

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mario-kart-mario-standard-kart-72037?

Officially announced...nothing else though

[unborn shell]

Kinda weird they didn’t show off anything else

[supple pendant]

I wonder if the new stuff has switch 2 content

[inland gust]

absolutely not

it's just far away

[supple pendant]

they have revealed the august wave this day every single year lol

the time until then is not a factor.

I can't really think of what else would be holding it back

[still night]

they don't want to show off the Lego version of the blue ogre girl until she's been officially revealed

[tepid pawn]

The next and final digifig will be blue ogre girl.

[supple pendant]

[unborn shell]

Any news on the August 1st sets

[supple pendant]

Nope, still nothing

it's really strange

[unborn shell]

Dang

[unborn shell]

honestly its very weird that they havnt shown them yet

my guess is that they will just randomly drop them on the website sometime in may or june

[supple pendant]

I think they will after the switch presentation

not like directly after but maybe that week

[unborn shell]

Huh still nothing that’s honestly weird

[supple pendant]

Theme might be ending next year

😬

Like genuinely

[inland gust]

but you said this last year

[supple pendant]

Incorrect

That year was based on speculation this time its bc lots of people are saying it will

And lots of January sets leaked and Mario is nowhere to be seen

If not all January sets

[inland gust]

wth

[supple pendant]

If it is dead its bc pokemon

Budget probably went to that

[supple pendant]

Out of context this screenshot is crazy

[unborn shell]

yeah i wouldnt doubt that the main focus would be going to pokemon now

but still weird that the summer sets haven't been shown yet

[supple pendant]

Agree

Where r they…

[still night]

I get that Pokémon is the most profitable franchise in the world but it’s still weird they’d drop the famous Super Mario brand completely

[supple pendant]

I agree! There’s a chance they haven’t dropped it and they just aren’t putting anything out in January cuz pokemon is coming soon after but idk

No reputable leakers have said its ending before

It feels like they finally hit their stride with at least some of the builds and still never did minifigs so it’s disappointing but oh well

Ultimately no great loss

Oh and Zelda’s getting another set in 2026 LOL

[unborn shell]

well they could always renew the license and continue the line and potentially make minifigs

[supple pendant]

They need to with all the other Nintendo franchises have good normal sets

[unborn shell]

cause if zelda and pokemon are getting sets it makes more sense to expand the nintendo theme more by keeping mario

[supple pendant]

Ya it seems extremely strange to not have your flagship franchise but it also makes sense to not have your flagship franchise be the ugliest thing Lego’s ever made and they still did that so

Who knows

[still night]

New prediction: New worse starter sets again

[supple pendant]

LOL

We’re getting a new starter set this year but we don’t know who it is

It seems weird to have one and then that’s the last thing they put out

[hollow salmon]

i feel like theyve already done everything possible with the playable lego mario sets like what else can they do

[still night]

New locations

like Wonder locations or something

[supple pendant]

The locations could have been so much better

They were always painfully generic

The concept of playable sets was interesting but imo it was more trouble than it was worth and ultimately disappointing

[hollow salmon]

yeah

[supple pendant]

I personally think the set this year will be Daisy

The new figure I mean

[still night]

I haven’t bought any Mario sets yet and I love Mario and used to like Lego, they messed up pretty bad if I’m not interested in buying

[still night]

yeah that makes sense

[hollow salmon]

i really just want minifigure scale sets even if its just like one 18+ build it would be cool

[supple pendant]

Yepppp

Lots of ppl did

I think Lego Mario is their biggest blunder

[pastel token]

i think its a rly hard sell that they get rid of the mario line entirely esp if nintendo continues broadly so my guess is digifig line dies and nintendo gets folded into the broader nintendo line with more one-off sets for franchises like metroid n starfox

[supple pendant]

They also could be taking time off from it to reboot

[soft forge]

Lego Nintendo...

[supple pendant]

It’s pure speculation but it’s possible

[still night]

I can totally jump Super Mario around my set without auditory positive reinforcement for doing brand-approved actions, give me a minifigure instead of a supermarket scanner

[supple pendant]

Literally

And it only scales with that particular theme

Can’t even put it with animal crossing

[soft forge]

theyre gonna give us pikmin using this things mold

[hollow salmon]

i forget abt animal crossing having sets

[pastel token]

sonic is also continuing into oblivion i dont think that will ever stop. sonic toys sell like crazy and the lego sonic line has been very successful

[supple pendant]

Yep

Sonic has confirmed sets for January btw

Mario does not

[hollow salmon]

sega does wh

[still night]

minifigures and a play feature that doesn’t ruin everything certainly help sales

[supple pendant]

Yeppp and the digifigures look horrifying when they’re not on

Well tbh they look horrifying when they’re on too

[still night]

speed sphere is generally unobtrusive

[supple pendant]

Which is why when some ppl are like “Mario wouldn’t translate well to a minifigure” I’m like “ok so have you seen the digifigures they have now….”

[still night]

I’ve considered buying Sonic sets more seriously than I’ve considered buying Mario sets, I haven’t bought any because Lego is expensive but I’ve thought about it

[hollow salmon]

ive seen so many good custom mario minifigure concepts

its not that hard

[still night]

Death Egg Robot is especially cool but even on sale I just don’t think I play with Legos enough anymore for me to get my money’s worth of fun out of it

[hollow salmon]

i really just like legos for the building part nowadays

[still night]

yeah same but that only lasts for a little while before it’s built

[supple pendant]

Mario could look adorable in minifigs

[pastel token]

i got the hookup

[inland gust]

the left one was randy's right

[pastel token]

idk

i drew both of these

[inland gust]

oh idk where i got that from

[tepid pawn]

I think just cause I always vehemently liked the left one.

[supple pendant]

Peartch…..

[pastel token]

peakch

[supple pendant]

Getting her arms printed this week….

[tepid pawn]

Yay.

I myself hope the Lego Mario line isn't dead forever, and that they just kinda go through with removing all the digifig stuff.

[still night]

Lego Mario gets canceled by people online and has to do some soul-searching for a bit

[lime sundial]

Dude that’s so awesome

[supple pendant]

Thank u!!!!

[unborn shell]

I think the lego mario summer sets will be revealed very soon because some august 1st sets just got revealed (the new fortnite wave)

[supple pendant]

I am still shocked they haven’t been yet

[lime sundial]

Please be good and worth my money

[unborn shell]

I hope we get Galaxy and Wonder sets but knowing Lego and Nintendo I highly doubt it

[supple pendant]

Holy shit

[worthy tendon]

wario has no sleeves

and hes huge

[inland gust]

ok it's actually kinda nuts prince florian got a lego fig

[inland gust]

uh

build

[tepid pawn]

HOLY SHIT.

[supple pendant]

I was literally gonna make him very recently I’m shocked

Who in here was wanting wonder sets omg

I’m shook they did something fucking cool

[supple pendant]

We did get a wonder set!!!

[pastel token]

no new digifig btw its just a new mario starter kit

[topaz hemlock]

i like how the next message was a wonder set

[pastel token]

sigh... i do want the wario build

[tepid pawn]

When do you think we'll get a new Lego DK.

[inland gust]

good question

[pastel token]

ill probably buy him individually from bricklink with dk

[worthy tendon]

i wonder how they would do waluigi now

[pastel token]

prolly tube limbs

but warios entire nose is a new mould

[topaz hemlock]

did you guys see eddie + symbiote lego?

[tepid pawn]

Very interesting how Wario is just Normal.

[topaz hemlock]

who is hyped?

[pastel token]

me

i will be buying

this and peter parkers apartment

theyll get 200 of my dollars

[hushed cloak]

WHAT THE FUCK!?!?!?

[topaz hemlock]

i want that

[still night]

whoa these new Mario sets are actually kinda hype. I probably still won’t buy them because the prices will be stupid but this is the most tempted I’ve ever been.

also WARIO

I wonder how moddable Lego Wario would be, I wanna make Doom-Wing-esque Vampire Wario

[inland gust]

has captain toad appeared in sets before this

[pastel token]

dont think so

[inland gust]

ok so we're all sleeping on him alright

[worthy tendon]

he shouldve been a digifig

[still night]

Wario as a digifig could’ve been cool except that it’d probably be Kevin’s voice coming out of him at this point

[inland gust]

but he can't jump

[worthy tendon]

thats the challenge

you lift him off the ground and he goes "uh oh you lose!"

[inland gust]

ohh I see

[topaz hemlock]

they should update lego marios voice

[still night]

NO

[worthy tendon]

actually martinet only cant voice mario in games

they didnt say anything about toys

this is how martinet can still win

[supple pendant]

I cyant lie I will probably get a lot of the Mario sets

Captain toad…..

[still night]

I’d imagine it’d actually be tied to upward motion of the accelerometer because Captain Toad is allowed to fall distances without touching the ground in the game

[supple pendant]

They also finally made the toad houses 3D it seems

Or at least dimensional

Help the giant circle on toads house is taking me out 😭

[analog tapir]

Wonder sets are cool but it feels bizarre to get Lego Mario sets that are based around games that aren't 10 years old

[hushed cloak]

WAIT I JUST REALIZED WONDER BOWSER JR

[supple pendant]

YESSSS

I’m waiting on the extra pics of them all

[hushed cloak]

god

i want to own them but lego isnt my thing but

I WANT MY BOY

[still night]

why is Pink Yoshi here, there were four different Yoshi colors they could’ve picked that would’ve been accurate but pink is not one of those

[unborn shell]

Holy crap I was correct

This new wave is really good

[hushed cloak]

Asking for friend

where do you order lego?

normally king boo/wario

[tepid pawn]

AU where Prince Florian was captured.

[pastel token]

i usually order straight from lego.com but if u just want figures bricklink sells them 2nd hand once theyre more common

[supple pendant]

Toad’s little pic of peach’s castle is adorable……

[soft forge]

wait

have they printed the top of a jumper before

[inland gust]

where

[worthy tendon]

the face

[pastel token]

oh huh

[supple pendant]

Yeah

Baby peach had it

[supple pendant]

Mario swoop EYES 💜

[still night]

could probably make the blue snake blocks from SMM2 with those

[lime sundial]

HOLT SH-

[lime sundial]

THERES MORE?!

[tepid pawn]

Oh yay new angle.

Also Double Dash.

[pastel token]

wario has new molds for his nose/stache and also his entire legs

[soft forge]

what the hell are those shoes

oh wait it does seem to be the entire legs

[inland gust]

this is a lava bubble right

[soft forge]

yeah

its appeared in other sets

[unborn shell]

https://youtu.be/11sRgyN3uKc?si=4miwxtUTcqLCYm28

[craggy magnet]

tf did they do to my boy 😭

[unborn shell]

At the end he says that there are two more sets that’s till have to be revealed

[supple pendant]

back pics of all of them can be found here!
https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/lego-super-mario-summer-2025-sets-include-wario-captain-toad-prince-florian-and-more/

the bowser + yoshi set being $100 is insane to me tho LOL

[supple pendant]

I don't think there are two other sets, in the image that showed each new set coming there were two unknowns but they're the large scale Mario + Kart and the gameboy I believe

[unborn shell]

Oh yeah your right I forgot about those

[supple pendant]

yeh deffo this i fear (switch castle bowser + bowser and yoshi oops LOL)

[soft forge]

oh yeah the game boy

[unborn shell]

My thoughts on the new wave not including the 18+
Mario starter set: 0/10
castle bowser: 10/10
captain toad set: 7.5/10
toads house: 7/10
bowser castle: 7/10
wario: Wario/10 (10/10)

Although it could change when I actually see the sets in person

[supple pendant]

i am extremely excited about the toads house

ive been working on a way to make their houses like....furnishable for probably a year

and im happy they came in with a solution

[unborn shell]

Fair

[supple pendant]

and the inside of it is sooo fucking cuteeeeee

the peachs castle picture

easily customizable too so I need to buy a Lot™️ of these and make one the shop, the inn, etc

[unborn shell]

It’s not a bad set at all I really like it but I feel like we’ve already gotten a lot of toad houses

[supple pendant]

oh yeah

100%

BUT ☝️ i fear this time they nailed it

so they're not just 2D

[unborn shell]

That’s true this time it is really good

[lime sundial]

I’ll be honest, I think ill only be getting the Bowser and Kingboo set, and the captain toad set
Maybe the bowser castle set with prince florian if I feel like it but.. eh

[supple pendant]

Por Que?

[lime sundial]

Wario and king boo
Captain toad
And maybe Prince Florian and Castle Bowser

[supple pendant]

No Por Que means why haha

[lime sundial]

oh-

good to know I am, not very smart

But my reasons are because.. ehhh I’m falling out of this theme a bit.. at this point I mostly want new characters

[worthy tendon]

warios a new character

hes the highlight of this wave

oh wait you said king boo

[lime sundial]

Actually, both

I meant both

I’m getting wario and kingboo.. only because I have to (I don’t have any sort of online account to buy stuff)

[pastel token]

i wonder how this king boo is different from the previous ones if at all

cus the older ones are pretty worked into the mechanism of the broader set

[tepid pawn]

Different face mainly I think.

[pastel token]

they actually gave his crown a gem this time

the face is better in some ways and worse in others

[worthy tendon]

its symmetrical

but other than that its worse

ironically the first kb looks more like how he does in mkw

[tepid pawn]

I can only think the flatter mouth is a bit meh.

The eye placement is better since it's higher up.

[analog tapir]

ah so they replaced the red ball with a red gem

[tepid pawn]

Makes him look bigger.

[analog tapir]

looks like they just reoclored the LM lego figure actually

the mouth is the same

[pastel token]

yea

[analog tapir]

actually no nvm

[pastel token]

the lip is kinda funny

[analog tapir]

the teeth are a bit sharper, the tongue is shaped differently, and he has a throat

[pastel token]

the difference in the eyes is so like insanly marginal but its enough to discern the diff between 2d art and 3d art boo

[radiant vale]

Ok but is there a Lego Fawful

[lime sundial]

Sadly no lord fawful

Nintendo will never pay attention to him due to canonical death

[supple pendant]

Not officially but I’m working on it

[lime sundial]

Would recommend a 2x2 round piece under fawful so his head isn’t so.. smol
And perhaps instead of giving him hands, have him be in his robes

..actually i could make a moc up with my extra toadette torso

[radiant vale]

🥲that the most beautiful thing I ever saw and I HAVE CHORTLES

[radiant vale]

😥why…

[worthy tendon]

because he tries to kill mario and luigi by self-destructing

[lime sundial]

..sadly

All this does is make bowser throw up the bros

[radiant vale]

For 16 year I been trap in that stupid dumb Nintendo DS but now I’m never in another game

[supple pendant]

No he’s minifig scale

[craggy magnet]

at this point they should’ve just released digital figure wario

[soft forge]

https://www.lego.com/en-gb/service/building-instructions/40787 well there it is

[hushed cloak]

shit it's giant @inland gust

[inland gust]

yea

[worthy tendon]

giant?

[inland gust]

well it is bigger than mario

[worthy tendon]

and youre not?

[inland gust]

as a person i am bigger than mario

lego mario that is

[radiant vale]

What about me I’m getting a Lego Fawful in the FUTURE 🕺

[supple pendant]

How exciting

[soft forge]

hell yeah

[supple pendant]

how cool

[soft forge]

the 2 x 6 mario moustache tile

[supple pendant]

better pic of Prince Florian figure

[pastel token]

gonna be getting the mario kart set in today

pretty excited...........

[supple pendant]

omg i forgot that releases today

[supple pendant]

better wario pics

[craggy magnet]

they could’ve just made wario a digital figure atp..

[tepid pawn]

And they didn't Thank God.

[supple pendant]

thank god (2)

digifigs are ugly as sin

yeah this might be the best thing lego has ever done honestly

X · May 18, 2025, 5:06 AM

HE CAN STAND?

[soft forge]

not without modification

[pastel token]

i wanna know what they did

and if this is all with the pieces from the set

https://x.com/GGalactigal/status/1924138038801912265

ruka 🪐🎨 (@GGalactigal) on X

@ManKooka it’s super easy! if you remove the bottom part, and shuffle the hip pieces around, he becomes capable of standing up quite simply.

X · May 18, 2025, 4:20 PM

[worthy tendon]

i wonder if hes standing on his own or is leaning on the wall

[pastel token]

i think hes leaning

his feet are Really small

[soft forge]

the circular soles would probably make it difficult

if theres anything i dont like about the build its the weird way his soles are done

[pastel token]

i figure his shoes are so small just because hes supposed to be sititng in the car

here ill give it a whirl

ok i see what they did

you have to gut a lot of his bottom

hes absolutely not able to stand on his own

that was p easy to reconstruct

i didnt take a pic but i was able to replicate what they did to clean up the torso v easily

they're up on lego

[inland gust]

https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/5253cea1-64c9-4058-8fbe-ba84034fc5f0

the tintin lego set got approved

[pastel token]

WHAT

[supple pendant]

Now wait a damn minute

August 1

[tepid pawn]

What's so special about August 1st?

[supple pendant]

That’s just when the sets release lol

[tepid pawn]

Oh.

[supple pendant]

I wonder why they had two random extras

[tepid pawn]

When was there an airplane glider.

[still night]

Mario Kart 8

[unborn shell]

Pretty cool sets but I wish that some of them were from Mario kart world

[soft forge]

mkw is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyy too new for that

[unborn shell]

That’s true

[supple pendant]

yeah they only just now have wonder sets

[unborn shell]

Wait isn’t Lego Mario supposed to retire all together next year

[inland gust]

that's what it has its retire dates set to

will definitely be renewed though

[supple pendant]

Someone who is like a prominent leaker said that, but apparently it's not true 👀

Mario is just taking a backseat to let Pokemon shine

and there will be Mario sets, just not as many

these ppl are v reliable

[unborn shell]

Sweet

Even though many people don’t like the mario line I honestly like it

[supple pendant]

I will always be Team Minifigures always always always

But it is what it is atp

[inland gust]

it's pretty funny everything but mario gets minifigs

and honestly... it's pretty bad.

idk what they're doing for pokemon though but other than that you could otherwise have mario and link and tom nook together in lego if they actually played ball

[worthy tendon]

I think pokemon will also all be brick built

[inland gust]

that tracks

[worthy tendon]

Which means no humans

[supple pendant]

they recently had this sphere-like new part that they made that i think is gonna be for pokeballs

this one

since thats

literally what pokemon is

[worthy tendon]

If that’s the case then pokemon could be minifigs

[supple pendant]

or if the pieces are all in there

like mega

i think pokemon would be REALLY hard to do with minifigs actually, even moreso than people say mario is

[worthy tendon]

Well yeah but smaller ones like pikachu could work

Then bigger ones would be brick built to scale

[supple pendant]

true! i would LOOOVE to get some of the gym leaders

[pastel token]

they might do both

brick built mons is such an easy get but these are so obviously for pokeballs

[tepid pawn]

They've kinda did this already.

[pastel token]

yea

the thing is that these use basically all new molds

i dunno how applicable this will be to lego

esp with how they look

the bigger mons are fine

[supple pendant]

yeah

i thought they could do like a couple "base" bodies to build off of

(hoping it will give me a jumping off point for a better yoshi....)

[supple pendant]

Found early!

[tepid pawn]

Oh okay.

[soft forge]

no lego mario interactions yet again
nintendo has FORGOTTEN about digifigs

what the heck are those a/b buttons

[supple pendant]

I fucking wish

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/game-boy-72046

If anyone wants to preorder!

[soft forge]

oh shit hold on the screens are like. holographic cards

?

[supple pendant]

I believe they are on a vinyl material

Vinyl/plastic

Could be a new thing tho

They pronounced Mario weirdly this is awesome.

[soft forge]

building a full lego suit for one ad is pretty good

[cunning charm]

Oh my god they remade the mech suit out of Lego

[lime sundial]

That’s.. that’s it?
That’s the game boy?

[supple pendant]

Yes!

[soft forge]

its a game boy made of lego

[worthy tendon]

They should’ve put the screens on the cartridges

[soft forge]

ehh

they seem a bit too small

well maybe idk

but i think theyre better seperate

the carts still work as individual builds

[tepid pawn]

Play Super Mario Land while having the LA cartridge in.

[soft forge]

and the screens are little holographic cards

[worthy tendon]

That’s true

You can display the cartridges and still have a screen on the game boy

[soft forge]

yeah thats kinda why theres a nintendo boot screen one

[supple pendant]

Lenticular

[soft forge]

same thing

tilt it and it shows different pictures

[supple pendant]

Love it

[worthy tendon]

youre lenticular

[supple pendant]

That was my nickname in prison

[pastel token]

are the buttons new pieces?

or inverted tiles

[soft forge]

definitely not regular tiles

theyre like... partway between 1 and 2 studs

and they stick out seemingly through holes

apparently the buttons are pushable

[pastel token]

there's rounded inverted tiles like this but whats throwing me is the scale

[soft forge]

they look too thick to be the inverted domes

their promo images/videos only show that section fully assembled

hmm

[soft forge]

the game boy set is apparently out on YouTube for some lego affiliate reviewers

the buttons are not new pieces

[supple pendant]

They are hats

And the select start buttons r tires

[pastel token]

cute

[soft forge]

apparently the dpad straight up has a proper rocker setup inside to work like a dpad, this set is insane

[lime sundial]

Absolutely peak

[unborn shell]

It is a peak set

[lime sundial]

..I want more captain toad sets now this is actually fun

[lime sundial]

..I might genuinely consider selling some of my Lego Mario sets
I barely use them anymore so, might as well load them off (or, I guess I could break them for parts)

[supple pendant]

i loved the captain toad set too

[supple pendant]

"It included other upcoming sets for things like DND and Super Mario"

[lime sundial]

OOOOOOO
..wait, are they really gonna re-use the Mario mechanic for pokemon?

[worthy tendon]

No this is different

[lime sundial]

oh

..we need a set based on Galoombas

[worthy tendon]

It’s an evolution of Marios digifig stuff though

[lime sundial]

Ohhh
huh
Interesting

Also I’m considering whether or not to buy the peaches castle set (the tiny $70(?) one)
Dunno tho

[supple pendant]

Yeah it’s like a smart brick that makes sounds and stuff

[supple pendant]

I mean, it’s a cute set but it’s not very substantial as far as castles go

Did I show u the peach’s castle I made?

Also that set should be on sale somewhere

[lime sundial]

The minifigure scale one?- I think you’ve shown that a while back

It’s pretty cute honestly

[supple pendant]

ty!! I updated it recently
