LEGO Super Mario Presents: LEGO Princess Peach and Sets; Now Listed, Coming August

It was no surprise whatsoever that, upon March 10 aka Mar10 Day hitting LEGO.com Thursday, we got our set reveals. The new LEGO Super Mario sets were spoiled by a teasing social media post on LEGO’s Instagram. That may have been removed shortly after, but now collectors could see it coming. And as confirmed by The Brick Fan, this new wave of LEGO Super Mario sets will introduce a new character. Mario and Luigi may have been saving Princess Peach of Mushroom Kingdom numerous times now. But Peach can take care of herself too, as her interactive brick-built figure demonstrates.

Like with the Mario Bros, Princess Peach gets introduced to LEGO via her own Starter Course set (71403). From there this LEGO Super Mario product batch boasts several new expansion courses. And with Peach around, that includes her previously-mentioned Palace (71408). In fact, it would be easier to just enumerate:

Well, they didn’t make it on Mar10 Day. But August isn’t really that far away. Enjoy the promotions and bundles now as we wait for the new sets to launch later on.

LEGO Super Mario Princess Peach’s Castle (71408) Teased Ahead of Mar10 Day Event

By now, we can perhaps safely say that LEGO Super Mario isn’t just a one-off gimmicky product line. It may well be a new long-running LEGO theme all on its own, with regular set launches year after year. Having electronic buildable characters from the Nintendo videogame franchise electronically interacting with the sets is sheer genius. Every new set released can potentially be a new interactive playground for the LEGO Mario Bros. And if you think the sets launched last January were all there is for 2022, think again. In fact, LEGO Super Mario is soon expanding its playable brick-built characters.

As told by Brickset, LEGO has spoiled us with its next big Super Mario tie-in: Princess Peach’s Castle (71408). A now-deleted post on LEGO’s Instagram inadvertently revealed this bombshell. But we’re sure to get the low-down very soon. That’s because Thursday, March 10, is being celebrated as Mar10 Day. (Mar-10, get it?) The event already graces the front page of LEGO Shop online. No word on Peach’s Castle. Still, other LEGO Super Mario promotions are taking center stage. The upcoming set 71408 features a Castle build inspired by “Super Mario 64.” But it features cross-franchise characters like Bowser Koopa, Ludwig Koopa, Toadette and more.

Mar10 Day Details

Meanwhile, Mar10 Day is bringing back some cool stuff according to The Brick Fan. During March 10-24, LEGO Super Mario purchases worth $40 will again get the Fuzzy & Mushroom Platform (30389) polybag. This GWP already ran in August 2021 so apparently LEGO still has stock left. In-store shoppers can bring their LEGO Mario/Luigi figures to the nearest LEGO Store to receive the Super Mario coin. Finally, LEGO is offering three bundles of past Super Mario sets. Buying them will net not just VIP points (if member) but also Nintendo Platinum Points.

The Team-Up Bundle (5007060) – $199.98 for 1,000 VIP Points and 50 Nintendo Platinum Points
Luigi’s Mansion Madness Bundle (5007337) – $209.96 for 1,500 VIP Points and 50 Nintendo Platinum Points
The Beach Blast Bundle (5007338) – $149.97 for 1,200 VIP Points and 50 Nintendo Platinum Points

These set bundles can only be gotten on LEGO.com, so grab them if you haven’t already.

LEGO Unleashes “Spooky” Trailer for Super Mario “Luigi’s Mansion” Sets Released January 1

Way back in November of last year, we learned of the next step in LEGO Super Mario sets. The red-and-blue plumber’s handed the spotlight over to his green-and-blue brother, with sets based on the GameCube title “Luigi’s Mansion.” These three LEGO sets launched with so many others on the first day of the New Year, 2022. Let’s just say the “Luigi’s Mansion” tie-ins are starkly different from their Mario-centric predecessors. Aside from focusing on Luigi, the sets are also spookily themed. True, the original 2001 game on the Nintendo GameCube went rather gothic. And LEGO has some fun reminding fans.

Brick Fanatics has it that LEGO released a launch video for the recently-launched LEGO Super Mario “Luigi’s Mansion” sets. A lemony voiceover narrator provides the tone as the scene plays out of a family enjoying said play-sets. Like other LEGO Super Mario sets, these new ones can be combined to make an expanded play area. Our brick-built Luigi can be powered up by the Lab and Poltergust Expansion Set (71397), giving him his ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner. From there, he must navigate two key areas of “his” mansion. Those would be the Entryway (71399) and Haunt and Seek (71401) Expansion sets.

Hearing LEGO Luigi’s adorably scared voice lines while interacting with these new sets just never gets old. And it goes double if you’ve played “Luigi’s Mansion” on the GameCube years ago. Of course, Nintendo developed sequels for the game on the 3DS and Switch. LEGO willing, we’ll get more “Mansion” expansion sets covering these games too. In the meantime, collectors can get these three January-1^st releases now, and relive their mansion-exploring, ghost-vacuuming days of old.

LEGO Lands Multiple Nominations in 2022 Toy of the Year Awards

Every year the Toy Association honors the best products in the industry through its annual Toy of the Year Awards. It doesn’t take a follower of these events to know that LEGO is a regular nominee and awardee here. Being one of the biggest toy brands in modern history is a perk in itself. Furthermore, many of the sets they release year after year deserve nominations and wins. The 2022 Toy of the Year Awards is no exception. Of the 16 possible categories, LEGO has representation in at least eight. Some of these categories even have multiple LEGO nominees.

Here are LEGO’s 2022 nominated products:

It’s amazing that one set from LEGO’s misfiring Vidiiyo theme also made it in. Then again, that would be the Toy Association’s call. Maybe the accolade (and a possible award) may reinvigorate interest in the Vidiyo line. Who can tell? Anyway, we wish LEGO’s 2022 Toy of the Year Award nominees the best of luck.

More Upcoming LEGO Super Mario 2022 Sets Revealed

When this month began, LEGO gave their first look at the newest sets for LEGO Super Mario. Said sets, earmarked for 2022 release, tie into the Nintendo GameCube title Luigi’s Mansion. As it turns out, however, the three revealed were just part of a larger batch. What we probably didn’t expect is the venue for LEGO’s reveal of the rest. The grand unveiling took place at China’s 4^th International Import Expo, alongside other LEGO set announcements. And this time around, we have some better images of the upcoming LEGO Super Mario 2022 sets expected to be part of LEGO’s wave of January 2022 releases.

Courtesy of The Brick Fan, let’s have a look at these other upcoming LEGO Super Mario 2022 set releases. LEGO put up images on their official page on the Chinese micro-blogging site Weibo, the link for which TBF provided. They’re quite an impressive ensemble, so here they are with set names translated.

The first three are Expansion Sets:
