To celebrate the arrival of Super Mario LEGO, LEGO has assembled a "massive" Mario build made out of nearly 23,000 bricks.
It apparently took six master builders more than 110 hours and is 1.2 meters in height. Just like the original build, it's got its own digital screen that lights up with various different animations. Here it is in all its glory:
The Super Mario LEGO sets launch on 1st August (that's tomorrow). You can start off with the base set - The Starter Course - and there's also the option to purchase a bunch of expansion sets. Read more about what will be on offer in our guide.

I wonder when my set will arrive... apparently it has not been posted yet
One day Lego will recreate the entire earth with just legos
YES. I'm a sucker for these huge Lego builds. Keep me comin' would love to see a giant Lego bowser
I kinda want some of that, but I just can't justify the price. Maybe if there is a sale.
It would be so satisfying to knock that thing over.
These are so ugly. I just want a traditional lego mario set!!
Honestly not really a fan of how LEGO handled Mario. The builds seem way too simple even for a kids set and I'd honestly rather have sets based around actual locales from the games. I'd really dig a UCS set for something like Bowser's Castle or Airship like what they did with the Star Destroyer in the Star Wars theme.
What on earth does a Lego master builder do any different than someone else?
The Mario set is OK, but I like the NES one a lot more.
mine arrived yesterday kids loved it
@HotGoomba and it's going to be at a scale of 1:1
Huh. I saw them at my local Toys R Us yesterday. I guess they didn't get the release date memo
Whaaaaaat maybe I didn’t care enough about this LEGO thing to notice the eyes. The eyes! That’s a pretty cool feature tbh
I love those marketing stuff they do from time to time. Why build a huge animated LEGO Mario that, aside from the video, no one can really enjoy? Because they could
@HotGoomba the catch will be: to live on that planet, you'll need to live barefoot. And you better not try and dive in that water over there. On the plus side: you can't burn yourself when playing with fire.
I bought the starter kit, Bowser’s Castle, and several other expansions at Walmart over a week ago.
