There's so much to get excited about right now from the worlds of Lego and Nintendo. We've got new movies, new products, and new collaborations seemingly dropping every week. And on Mario Day, we're getting an awesome new Mario Kart Lego set. What a time to be alive.
The Luigi & Mach 8 is a set that would look great sat next to the Mario & Standard Kart. Do you need both sets? Sure, it would be fun to race these guys, but Luigi deserves his moment in the spotlight. It's time that he stepped away from his trusted sidekick and made it on his own. And on this special celebration of the Super Mario franchise, this feels like an appropriate moment to give Luigi his flowers.
This new Luigi set is available to pre-order for $179.99 at Lego. The release date is April 1, but why wait?
The Luigi & Mach 8 features the Mach 8 race car with Luigi in the driver’s seat. The set sits on a buildable stand, and comes to 2,234 pieces in total. It's aimed at adults, but there's nothing stopping you from building this set with some enthusiastic assistants.
Score the new Luigi & Mach 8 from Lego ahead of its April 1 release date.
