Ronnie Posted March 14, 2020 Posted March 14, 2020 Andre doing great work as always. The whole thing seems really cool to me. I can understand people wanting the usual LEGO kits and builds instead but as someone who isn't into Lego it's nice seeing something new and different get released. That's what usually happens with Nintendo anyway.
Ike Posted March 14, 2020 Author Posted March 14, 2020 It sorta reminds me of the Mario Zone from Mario Land 2. If it was a regular LEGO set then they would have got my money, not interested in this (though it's kinda cool). 1

Ashley Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Press release including pricing (well USD/EUR but assume GBP will be the same): Quote BILLUND, June 16, 2020: The LEGO Group today revealed the full product portfolio for its LEGO® Super Mario™ experience. Fans can expand on the LEGO Super Mario range announced in April with a whole new range of Expansion Sets, collectible Character Packs and Power-Up Packs. The result of a unique partnership with Nintendo, LEGO Super Mario will reinvent the way people interact with Super Mario in the physical world. The products announced today give fans the chance to build Mario’s house, search for treasure hidden by Toad, and defeat a Koopa Troopa in the Guarded Fortress. And of course that’s not all! The partnership was announced earlier this year, and in April the fun-packed Adventures with Mario Starter Course was revealed alongside two Expansion Sets. The Starter Course is key to unlocking the entire play, being the only set to feature the interactive LEGO® Mario™ figure that collects coins in game levels created with LEGO bricks. LEGO Super Mario brings new interactivity and gameplay to the traditional LEGO brick experience. All sets come with their own series of unique challenges and characters for fans to play with, or to play against friends. In addition to the Piranha Plant Power Slide Expansion Set and Bowser’s Castle Boss Battle Expansion Set announced in April, the Expansion Set line-up includes: the Guarded Fortress Expansion Set, the Mario’s House & Yoshi Expansion Set, the Toad’s Treasure Hunt Expansion Set, the Desert Pokey Expansion Set, the Whomp’s Lava Trouble Expansion Set and the Boomer Bill Barrage Expansion Set. Also announced today are ten collectible enemy characters that are available in blind bag Character Packs, adding that extra level of excitement. Each pack will contain a buildable character and action tag to play with – it could be a Paragoomba, Fuzzy, Spiny, Buzzy Beetle, Bullet Bill, Bob-omb, Eep Cheep, Blooper, Urchin or Peepa! Every Expansion Set and collectible Character is made to be used with the Adventures with Mario Starter Course, for an enhanced play experience. The entry point set features seven action bricks for different interactions with the LEGO Mario figure, which has LCD screens in its eyes, mouth and belly to display instant reactions to movement, color and action bricks. In May, the LEGO Group and Nintendo also announced a series of Power-Up Packs – including Cat Mario and Builder Mario – to help boost gameplay with a variety of suits for LEGO Mario that each reveal new features and powers. "With today’s announcement, 16 LEGO Super Mario sets have been introduced and I am really looking forward to seeing how people’s play expands with these and the unique Power-Up Packs,” said Takashi Tezuka, Executive Officer and Game Producer of Nintendo Co., Ltd. “Each player’s preferences and imagination are different. By adding already owned LEGO bricks onto the Starter Course, and different LEGO Super Mario expansion sets, we hope that people can create various different Mario worlds and continue enjoying them indefinitely.”“The reaction to LEGO Super Mario has been incredible,” said Jonathan Bennink, Digital Design Lead on LEGO Super Mario, the LEGO Group. “Super Mario is such an icon – and fans have been highly anticipating the release of the full details of the product line. Our entire range – from the Starter Course to the Power Up Packs, through to the Expansion Sets and Character Packs – have been built to bring Super Mario, his friends – and his enemies – to life. We love how creative Nintendo and LEGO fans are, and can’t wait for them to unleash their imaginations in how they interact with Super Mario in the real world.”Fans will also love the free LEGO Super Mario app created by the LEGO Group, a supporting feature to further enhance the physical play experience. It keeps track of scores to encourage continuous rebuilding, as well as providing digital building instructions with zoom and rotate viewing tools to make building easier, suggestions of other creative ways to build and play, and a safe forum to share ideas with friends.The full LEGO Super Mario assortment will launch August 1st 2020, but fans can pre-order the LEGO Super Mario Starter Course on www.LEGO.com and from select leading retailers around the world now (subject to availability).

BowserBasher Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Definitely want Bowsers castle and Boos yard. Glad a few are in the £20 range too. Who am I kidding I’ll probably get them all eventually. 2 1
Will Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Yeah! I think sometimes people (myself included) forget lego is actually a toy. I can imagine kids would have a great time playing with this.

I can imagine kids would have a great time playing with this. Although some of the actors looked a bit bored, but I'm going to chalk that up to the odd scenario of playing for the camera. It's not my kind of thing but I imagine Nintendo will make quite a bit off this.
S.C.G Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 LEGO X Nintendo Mario set full reveal It costs... HOW much? $599 USD?!? for the whole set? You could buy a PS5 with that. 1
BowserBasher Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 And I’d still take the Lego over that. I love Lego 10 hours ago, S.C.G said: LEGO X Nintendo Mario set full reveal It costs... HOW much? $599 USD?!? for the whole set? You could buy a PS5 with that. 1

Dcubed Posted June 17, 2020 Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Jesus wept! They've really buggered this one up! Real shame, it could've been really good; but sadly it just misses the point of Lego, and its priced WELL out of the reach of most people. This really should've been a slam dunk easy victory; shocking how much they've missed the mark. Edited June 17, 2020 by Dcubed

This really should've been a slam dunk easy victory; shocking how much they've missed the mark. I was thinking this too when they were first released. I wanted a Bowsers castle like the Disney castle. But on thinking now, these are more inline with Mario toys. They are Lego and then have a uniqueness that no other Lego set has. Yes there are loads of expansions but some are priced pretty low. 1
Cube Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 A new set has been leaked, an NES and a TV. https://www.resetera.com/threads/leak-lego-nintendo-entertaiment-system-coming-august-1st-229-99€.246976/ It looks like the TV screen scrolls. Expensive, but looks fancy. 2
Ronnie Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 If anyone spots it up for sale, could you add a link here please. Definitely getting that
Sméagol Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) See? Now that's the stuff I'm interested in. Edited July 13, 2020 by Sméagol
Dufniall Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Apparently it also connects to the Mario starter set: https://www.bricktastic.nl/lego-18/lego-71374-nintendo-entertainment-system-nes-verschijnt-op-1-augustus-in-lego-shop/ The site's in Dutch but the images show it. You can also see the backside of the TV. Officially confirmed btw:
