Eight new LEGO Super Mario sets are apparently headed to store shelves in January 2027, and the leaked lineup covers everything from a $9.99 entry-level build to a $99.99 Bowser's Castle flagship. For fans of the LEGO Super Mario series (and the broader world of adventure games), this is a significant wave, touching Mario Kart, classic platformer moments, and some fan-favorite characters who have been underrepresented in plastic brick form. The Nintendo-LEGO partnership has been running since 2020, and this would mark another strong push into 2027.
What the leaked set list actually looks like
The full lineup of eight sets, complete with product numbers and rumored prices, breaks down like this:
Three of the eight sets are tied to Mario Kart, which is a notable shift in focus. Previous LEGO Super Mario waves leaned heavily on platformer-style course building, so seeing kart racing get this much representation suggests Nintendo and LEGO are broadening the theme's scope. The Mario Kart sets alone span three price points ($14.99, $29.99, and $59.99), which gives collectors a clear entry point and a clear flagship.
The $99.99 anchor and what it signals
Fire Mario & Bowser's Castle (#72060) is the obvious centerpiece of this wave. At $100, it is almost certainly the largest set by piece count, likely landing somewhere in the hundreds of pieces, possibly approaching 1,000. LEGO's pricing history with licensed sets at this tier consistently points to substantial builds with multiple minifigures or character figures included.
The key here is that Bowser's Castle is one of the most iconic locations in Super Mario history, and it has appeared in LEGO form before. A new version at this price point would need to offer something meaningfully different, whether through updated design, new character inclusions, or interactive elements compatible with the existing LEGO Super Mario app-connected figure system.
Characters filling gaps in the current lineup
The leaked character roster is worth paying attention to. Bowser Jr., Luigi in Fire form, a Koopa Troopa, Yoshi, and both Mario and Bowser all appear across the eight sets. Bowser Jr. in particular has been a relatively rare inclusion in LEGO Super Mario sets, so his appearance in the Luigi & Bowser Jr.'s Karts set (#72056) would be a notable addition for completionists.
Yoshi at Mario's House (#72057) is the most low-key set on the list at $39.99, but it fills a slice of the Super Mario world that has been underrepresented. Domestic, slice-of-life builds like this tend to appeal to a different type of collector than the battle sets, and pricing it under $50 keeps it accessible.
Where this leaves the Nintendo-LEGO partnership
This leak lands alongside separate reports that LEGO's Animal Crossing line is being wound down, with no new sets planned after the current inventory retires. Super Mario, by contrast, shows no signs of slowing. With sets releasing every year since 2020 and now eight new products reportedly coming in January 2027 alone, the franchise remains the anchor of LEGO's Nintendo output.
The LEGO Super Mario series has always straddled the line between toy and collectible, and this wave looks like it continues that approach. Whether you are building for display or playing through the app-connected course system, there is something in this lineup at almost every budget. For context on how the LEGO gaming universe has expanded across other franchises, the LEGO DC Super-Villains game offers a useful comparison point for just how far LEGO's interactive gaming ambitions reach.
Expect an official announcement from LEGO closer to the end of 2026. Until then, treat the prices and names as working details. If you want to get ahead on the LEGO gaming space, the LEGO DC Super-Villains guides are a solid place to see how deep the rabbit hole goes on LEGO's more complex titles.
