Toy maker LEGO have unveiled eight brand new sets based on Super Mario, with the collection arriving on the 1st August 2024.
The new Mario range sees plenty of characters from Nintendo’s flagship series receiving the LEGO treatment, with prices, number of bricks, and product numbers listed below.

Interestingly, the ascending product codes for the new range skip ‘71438’ potentially hinting that another Mario set may exist and could make an appearance before the summer arrives. Searching the LEGO website for the missing product code currently returns no results.
The new sets come hot on the heels of LEGO’s collaboration with other gaming juggernauts Sonic The Hedgehog and Animal Crossing, with both franchises also receiving new LEGO collections this summer.
Mario Maker
Mario is no stranger to the world of plastic bricks at this point in time, with Nintendo’s diminutive plumber starring in a range of buildable scenes and playsets since the first LEGO Super Mario collaboration back in August 2020.
In the four years since, the Mario franchise has appeared in over seventy sets ranging from small sets based on levels from the games to premium plastic pieces celebrating iconic characters like the Piranha Plant and Mario’s nemesis, Bowser.
The first iteration of LEGO Super Mario released in 2020 to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. one of the most iconic video games ever produced and one of our favourite games on the NES.
