LEGO Expands Its Mario Collection With Larry And Morton's Airships

The Mario sets are all a bit disapppinting for me. They should've gone the regular route. Now they are just gimmicks. We have several for the kids but I am putting them up for sale.

I'm glad these exist but they dont bring me joy so I have not bought any.

How about Nintendo releases a line of Koopaling amiibo? I would buy all 7 of them. Please and thank you.

The heads look... not good

@Daniel36 I haven’t bought any of these sets, so it is good to hear opinions from parents that have tried them. Thanks! 😊

@DwaynesGames The thing is, you'd expect to be able to make something that looks like a Mario level, with mushroom houses etc. Instead, you can sort of make the world map of Mario 3, with oversized characters.

You can sort of play a mini game with an app that tracks how much coins you have, and like the victory song plays when you reach a flag pole, because there're these codes that Mario's character scans. This is cute the first time around, then your kids will abuse the system for 10 minutes until the novelty has completely worn off.

Give me Minecraft sets any time. At least those give off the feeling of playing Minecraft.

@Not_Soos
Now that you mention it, I'm surprised they never did this. I would've copped a Larry Amiibo personally.

@JR150 It would be great if they did all the alternate charater models from Ultimate. Maybe it isn't too late. Would love to have figures for not only the Koopalings, but even Alph, the Male Wii Fit Trainer, the other Dragon Quest heroes, etc. Would be awesome. I'm not sure whether I would prefer all the Koopalings being in their clown cars like they are in Smash, though.

I would love these but the toy sections in my city are heavily burglarized and unfortunately the Mario Legos are one of the hot items. It’s sad. I guess I’ll look online

No Ludwig sad. Ludwig is my favorite

@Daniel36
Pretty much my experience as well. We bought a bunch of the sets that went practically unused and now sit in a box in our basement. Minecraft legos rule though because they fit together perfectly so it’s like there’s a legit Minecraft world.

Minecraft legos are so ugly it's sad. My 8 year old has a blast with them though.
She does enjoy building the Mario sets but playing with Lego Mario/Luigi/Peach is not her thing, at least at the moment.
What I think is really lame with the whole Lego Mario collection is the app. It takes a lot of space, constantly needs updating, it is loading all the time, instructions are clear - but that's for now that we still have the app, and it drains the battery like no other app. And don't tell me about Lego Mario that needs updating for 20 minutes each time before being able to build a set.
I can also go on about the price of those pieces of plastic ....
Anyways, we will be buying the new collection again. If you don't have a lot of them, you can barely play with then and build levels indeed ...

One of the few Mario sets I actually like. I think as a standalone set, they’ll look really good on a display shelf.

I hope Morton, Larry and the other 5 Koopalings are in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.

@Ironcore If they made just one Switch game that interacted with the Lego characters I’d be so in. I think the Mario, Luigi and Peach figures are super cute!

Maybe they’ll really get it together and create a Lego Mario game. Those Lego franchise games like Lego Marvel etc always sell well!

@Daniel36 Bought them for my 6 yr old. Loved building them, but he quickly came to realize how little interaction they have with other Legos. Yknow... the entire point of Legos, to him.

2 yr old loves it, but ONLY the Mario figure. Which made me realize, why Lego? Why not just make an action figure that recognizes color out of his gooch? Because it works better with colorful wood building blocks than it does Lego.

I approve of pirate Goomba.

Thing is with lego.. if I buy these they all just end up in the big jumbled lego bin never to be made whole again. I'm better of buying my kids lego classic for cheaper

@FancyGamer Ludwig is in the Peach’s Castle set.

With Morton here, Roy is now the only Koopaling without a Lego version. Here’s hoping he’s released in January.

@OFFICIALMichi yeah a lego mario game would be interesting and a real money printer too no doubt.

I'd probably get these if the sets weren't so chunky and baby-like.
