LEGO Reveals Super Mario Character Packs - Series 6 & New Expansion Sets

@strollin_stu have you seen that Eiffel Tower set... Pretty much the same price as an Xbox Series X. It's huge but still.

I've got only a polybag for the Mario stuff since I don't own a phone.

All those years of backing Nintendo sets on Ideas, and we end up with these incredibly ugly monstrosities. At least there’s the NES, giant Bowser and the ? Block but it would be nice to get some less expensive sets that are similar to those.

The bland, corporate safe New Super style has infected paper mario, the theme parks, and insanely expensive legos. What do you think they're gonna ruin next?

@strollin_stu As a longtime Mario fan, I wish all the longtime LEGO fans would shut up about minifigures already. Minifigures are ugly as sin and I will never understand your collective obsession with them. The minidoll figures in the Friends and Disney sets should have completely supplanted minifigs by now. But no.

Anyway I still love the LEGO Super Mario series. It got me back into LEGOs after decades away. I’ve bought every set (except the non-course-builder DTC ones). For people who have kids and actually play with LEGOs rather than just displaying them, there’s no better theme. So maybe just let us have this? You have hundreds of minifig sets to keep you happy.

@LastFootnote Finally someone gets it. I'm glad the theme is doing well despite the constant whining about minifigs, because it's the most unique thing LEGO is doing currently.

Calm down, they will surelly make a few Mario minifigures in the future.
But at that scale It would be difficult to have a decent Koopa, Goomba or any smaller than Mario creature, only a very small figurine for them. For the castles and environments you already have everything needed to build them… Lego bricks.
In the meanwhile, let KIDS have something fun to play with. Lego is for playing and rebuilding, not just collecting and displaying, its a TOY!
(A toy for kids that adult are allowed to enjoy too)

Creativity Toolbox Maker Set sounds interesting...

Peach sounds very excited in this video. I am a little bit less excited.

@strollin_stu LOL. These Mario bigfigs are as part of the system as Duplo figures, Fabuland figures, Maxifigures, mini dolls, Technic figures, microfigures etc, etc, etc.
The system is about the bricks to be compatible between al the sets. In Lego history there have been several lines and figurines of different scales, some predating the today known minifigures, and all of them part of the System...
