LEGO has finally revealed the full product portfolio for its LEGO Super Mario line.
Two months after announcing the collection’s Adventures with Mario Starter Course ($59.99) and the expansion sets Piranha Plant Power Slide ($29.99) and Bowser’s Castle Boss Battle ($99.99) last April, LEGO unveiled eight additional expansion sets on Tuesday. These are the Guarded Fortress Expansion Set ($49.99), Mario’s House & Yoshi Expansion Set ($29.99), Toad’s Treasure Hunt Expansion Set ($69.99), Desert Pokey Expansion Set ($19.99), Whomp’s Lava Trouble Expansion Set ($19.99), Boomer Bill Barrage Expansion Set ($29.99), Thwomp Drop Expansion Set ($39.99), and the King Boo and the Haunted Yard Expansion Set ($49.99).
Also announced on Tuesday are ten collectible enemy characters that will be available in blind bag Character Packs ($4.99). Each pack will contain a buildable character and action tag to play with. The character inside a pack could be a Paragoomba, Fuzzy, Spiny, Buzzy Beetle, Bullet Bill, Bob-omb, Eep Cheep, Blooper, Urchin or Peepa.
The full reveal of the LEGO Super Mario assortment comes a month after the announcement of the collection’s four Power-Up Packs ($9.99) ― Fire Mario, Propeller Mario, Cat Mario, and Builder Mario ― which are sets of outfits for the LEGO Mario figure that allows him to do new things.
Completing the unique play experience that the LEGO Super Mario line offers is the free LEGO Super Mario app that keeps track of the players’ scores to encourage continuous rebuilding. The app also provides digital building instructions with zoom and rotate viewing tools to make building easier, suggestions of other creative ways to build and play, and a safe forum to share ideas with friends.
Though the complete LEGO Super Mario line won’t launch until August 1st, fans can now pre-order the starter set on www.LEGO.com and from select leading retailers around the world.
