MindFreak Posted June 22, 2021 Posted June 22, 2021 My son asked me to make a Mario in Lego but I haven't got enough blue bricks to finish. Got this far, though: 1
Sméagol Posted August 24, 2021 Posted August 24, 2021 Check the link carefully, as there are various things going on. If you have a Lego account and collect VIP points, it seems you get some free ones for example, and there's a prize draw at the bottom of that page. 1

So doing things on both sites you can actually get yourself 250 LEGO VIP points for 50 Nintendo Platinum points. Just use the VIP reward on the Lego site to get your 200 Nintendo points, then use 250 Nintendo points to get 250 LEGO VIP points. Awesome. 1
Ashley Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 The character blocks are certainly less creepy looking this time around. I like the simplicity.
Glen-i Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that the compartment is a ? Block that never actually appears in Mario 64? Could've made it the Wing Cap ! Block. 1 1
BowserBasher Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Now that is awesome. My poor wallet. Day one purchase. 1

BowserBasher Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 (edited) £159.99 on the Lego site. Seems about right I originally went in the 150 ballpark figure. some more photos on there too. Seems like there is a draw or second compartment. https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/super-mario-64-question-mark-block-71395 Edited September 9, 2021 by BowserBasher
Ronnie Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 They probably picked the 3 most iconic levels from that game, possibly the desert would have been next. 4 minutes ago, Ashley said: I saw someone on Twitter say the same so there's at least two of you That's why those two aren't businessmen (I assume)

Cube Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 I might have a look at the instructions for the micro worlds, those bits look awesome.
Will Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 Oh man that’s fantastic! I know what (one of) my Christmas present is!
martinist Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 I haven't bought a Lego set in years but I really want this one. Probably gonna be about £200 though lol

BowserBasher Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 I got the Mario ? Block my birthday. Just about to build it and have found a little paragraph in the booklet on it being the ? Block. It’s acknowledged that the block doesn’t appear in SM64 and that the game has the red, blue and green ones. But then there’s this part, Quote However, with ? Blocks, you never know what you’ll find inside - that’s what makes them ? Blocks! Have fun exploring and building this world - there are secrets and surprises waiting for you! I think that perfect explanation. 1 1
Ashley Posted October 25, 2021 Posted October 25, 2021 Yeah it's a neat way of explaining it. Rami Ismail has been posting tweets about it recently. Going to spoiler tag it as there seems to be some little details that people may enjoy finding themselves. Spoiler It is a thread but you'll have to click through to see it all.
BowserBasher Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Built a few more bags of this, started on Lava Lava Land and the little details are so neat. It really is a lovely piece. Spoiler Loving this set. 1
BowserBasher Posted October 29, 2021 Posted October 29, 2021 It is done. This maybe the best one yet in terms of how it’s been created and put together. Though the NES is still up there. Spoiler First of this is an awesome set, well worth it. Second, the amount of detail in these mini builds of the set pieces is stunning. From the castle with removable front and paintings inside, to the rolling log in Lava Lava Land. The penguins and the hidden slide in Cool Cool Mountain, king Bob-omb and the floating island in Bob-omb Battlefield. The compartment at the front that open so you can put Bowser and Mario on the revolving platform to re-enact the Bowser Battles. Whilst building it you can see the levels taking shape but then the part you’re working on suddenly clicks and it’s just like being back there. There’s a Chain Chomp there, King Bob-omb, the bullies in LLL, Lakitu and his camera but the best secret part for me is the fact that there is a hidden Yoshi that you build in mini form that goes behind the castle, just like when you get all 120 stars and the cannon opens allowing you to get to the top so he can give you all them yummy lives. It all fits snuggly inside the cube which you wouldn’t think possible when it’s all open, but it’s perfect This is a testament to the Lego engineers who put these together. Not only must they have been fans but they must have loved making it too. It’s truly a love letter to SM64. This will easily sit proud on display. A great set to anyones collection. 4
Ashley Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 Releasing today might have been better but hey ho. Maybe Nintendo knows we're in for a frightening 2022. 1
Helmsly Posted October 31, 2021 Posted October 31, 2021 (edited) Nice that they're doing a Lego mansion thing but I would have preferred a lego verion of this: Edited October 31, 2021 by Helmsly 1
BowserBasher Posted December 25, 2021 Posted December 25, 2021 I got some more Lego Mario sets for Christmas. Got the remaining wave one sets I needed that are retiring soon, so that was Toad's Treasure Hunt, Piranha Plants Puzzling Challenge and Wigglers Poison Swamp. And I also got the Bowser's Airship. It looks awesome and looks like the best one that can be displayed as a standalone and not looking like it needs to be a part of a level. 1
