LEGO is teaming up with Nintendo once more for a unique toy release. As revealed by an announcement trailer, the latest collaboration involves a large "?" Block, which can be unfolded, with the contents within being a complete tribute to Super Mario 64, in full LEGO glory. It's a 2,064 piece playset that features Peach's Castle, Bob-omb Battlefield, Cool, Cool Mountain, and Lethal Lava Land, as well as 10 character minifigures such as Mario, Yoshi, Peach, and various Super Mario 64 enemies and characters.

Not impressed.

Nintendo and Lego are the biggest rip offs in their respective industries... But combined, wow! That price for a few pieces of moulded plastic is insane.

 

[KiiWii]

$169.99 = £122 …. But it’s set to be £159.99 over here…. Yeet.

Maybe for someone who are into it. I am huge fan of Megaman, Zelda, and Mario but I am not into action figures and things which doesn't do anything. I prefer to playing on television and love the ending. Only video games I collected. To me, it is a piece of junk and didn't do anything but construct. Just like junkie action figures, and statues. Not for me.

This must be some indication of the game getting a true remake/remaster... right?
(and not that thing bundled in with all stars)

 

[Plazorn]

Once again, they are too lazy to even make Mario a real minifig.
What is the world coming to?

Wow gbatemp comments are cancer. This is a really cool set!
Just not for me personally since I don't particularly like SM64

That's why we have Chinese rip offs

Yeah, the box is really cool. I hope to see something neat if/when they do the later 3D Mario games

I love the tiny levels, the details and everything, but the folding is a pointless gimmick and half the bricks in this set are a waste of space (and money). It would make more sense if the ? Block unfolded so that each cube face was a base for a level, but having it just be a housing for smaller bases is a huge waste.

Dire dire docks you cowards!

 

[g00s3y]

I love it, will be getting it to go along with my other lego sets on display!

USA prices are always given without tax. If you were to include the sales tax of most states, it would be the same as that £159.99.

It looks rather basic. Mario and Peach aren't even proper figures. The scale is so small that the stages are barely recognizable apart from Peach's Castle. With the ?-block being that big they could've made better use of the space. It's neat, I guess, but it could've been so much better.

I thought it would unfold that way but they went for a pointless gimmick instead.

Looks Cool, but the price is a scam on all levels, to be expected from two overpricing behemoths.

 

[DKB]

Prices for Lego sets are insane.

You could probably buy a 3D printer for the same amount of money as this set, and make an infinite number of LEGO bricks. You could make an endless number of ? Blocks!
