LEGO has just announced an upcoming Super Mario Bros. expansion set, this time an awesome Bowser figure and muscle car.
And just because all of us in the Retro Dodo team are grown men, that will not stop us from continuing to add to our massive LEGO collection.
Of course, we’ve covered quite a lot of Mario related LEGO sets in the past few years. And those releases do not appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
That’s exactly what we would hope for from two of our favorite brands in the retro arena.
LEGO Bowser’s Muscle Car Expansion Set
This new Bowser’s Muscle Car Expansion Set comes in at a modest 458 pieces, and is a supplementary set to the larger Super Mario Bros. Starter Course sets.
The expansion set features a posable LEGO Bowser figure, as well as an awesome muscle car with functional wheels. There are a few bombs and a small flag stage thrown in for good measure.
The vehicle itself has an interactive Action Tag QR for your LEGO Mario, LEGO Luigi or LEGO Peach figure, as well.
You can place one of these characters in the driver’s seat for “beeping-horn, running-engine and squealing-tyre sound effects and to earn digital coins.”
Sadly, the LEGO Bowser character is not interactive. We’d love to see that implemented in the future.
The Bowser’s Muscle Car Expansion Set will be available on January 1st, 2024 and will retail for £24.99. We absolutely cannot wait to add this set to our growing Mario LEGO setup.
LEGO X Mario
The Super Mario Bros. sets have been an exciting entry to the massive LEGO library, making their debut back in July of 2020.
With awesome supplementary sets like the Super Mario 64 Set, Bowser’s Castle, Piranha Plant, Four Donkey Kong sets, and more just adding to the hype.
Any video game related LEGO is gonna catch our attention, but Super Mario Bros. sets will always be our favorite.
