Nice Grin .

If these were around when I was a child, I might have collected them and raced with them!

LOOK AT THEM

I also love it's on a Yoshi bike, too. AND THE BANANA PEEL!

Not bad, though really the Babies? I suppose they fit more with the being on a kart/bike or it might be too big. Anyway not for me but interesting to see the type of shapes they'll use like for Yoshi's nose and other round pieces.

So I couldn't remember all the sets and while looking back at the news post on the Lego website I decided to search Mario Kart for the heck of it and turns out all the sets are now listed with Coming Soon tags: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/super-mario?sort.key=AVAILABILITY_DATE&sort.direction=DESC

I decided to look at the Yoshi set to see if it had more pictures of it and one of the images shows the back of the box, which has images showing the Mario, Luigi and Peach figures that already exist as being compatible with all the Mario Kart karts. I checked the other sets and they all have this feature, so it isn't that the non-baby versions don't fit (a fair guess though, I thought that was going to be the reason but then I saw the DK set) but rather Lego just doesn't want to bother selling a set with a character that is already in another set. Moreso considering the Mario, Luigi and Peach models have that electronic interactive feature in them which would probably bump up the price of a Mario Kart set if they were included.

For @ShiraNoMai, here's a link to the Yoshi set which has better images: https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/mario-kart-yoshi-bike-72031

Looks rather nice - even if it isn't the same scale as everything else Tongue !

Husband bought the above for me sometime ago. So I decided to put it together today, and he helped me. lol

This is our finished version. If I see another ACNH one I might get it idk I am not a lego person usually.


RE: LEGO - Moonface - Oct 16th, 2024

@Kyng: Oh, I didn't realize it was your birthday! (Only just saw your post in here.) Happy belated birthday! ^_^
Is it bigger or smaller in scale than whatever everything else is?

@queenzelda: Did your husband get you that particular set because of the villager it has?


I just saw this on Reddit and while it doesn't seem certain if this is actually a world record build, it's definitely the biggest one I've ever seen on the Internet: "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" Inspired Lego Diorama
I'm still looking at all the fine details in this thing. Yikes


RE: LEGO - ShiraNoMai - Oct 16th, 2024

Oh wow. That's gorgeous as hell, damn.

However, I'm going to need to sit you down for this one...

Thanks Smile !

It's bigger in scale than any of my other models: I'm guessing its roughly 1:10 scale. It's certainly too big for minifigures!

Also, @queenzelda: those are rather cute Grin !


RE: LEGO - queenzelda - Oct 21st, 2024

@ShiraNoMai Not only is that pretty, but a whole lot of Legos! 👀

Yea, my favorite Animal Crossing villager is actually Julian because he's a unicorn.

Yea, it is. Also the smaller animal crossing packs are cheap compared to the Legend of Zelda ones. Oof. 😖


RE: LEGO - Moonface - Jul 26th, 2025

Oh dang, I didn't know this was announced until a streamer I'm watching right now mentioned it: Lego Game Boy 72046

For $60 that's really tempting, and it's almost 1:1 scale too. Grin

So you can play the games that it comes with once you build it or it's just for aesthetics? (The slot to place the games into.) Cause if you can play the games, than for $60 its worth, otherwise no. But I also am a weirdo. xp

Alas, no it has no electronic capabilities to it. The "games" it comes with are just Lego versions of the Game Boy game carts and if you slot one into the back then you could swap in the respective screen piece for it so it looks like the game is "running" on it.


RE: LEGO - Kyng - Jul 27th, 2025

That is impressive: certainly captures the Game Boy aesthetic!

I can't imagine the games will be playable, but hopefully it'll come with some kind of functionality.

I checked the website again to see if maybe it shows anything, and the most it comes with is it looks like the screen inserts are lenticular to allow the image to move like it would if it were a real screen. More than I expected because for only $60 I wasn't expecting it to be anything more than just letting you swap the cartridge and screen inserts.

I went looking to see what new sets are on the website too, and I didn't expect to see new Animal Crossing sets on there. I thought that line had finished up ages ago. $90 for this feels like a massive upcharge just because of the IP though... Errm
