With a scannable tile in the seat so that Mario has unique sorts of interactions based on his acceleration, angle, and so forth! I MOCed a digital version of a non-electronic kart for Lego Mario with a hole in the seat to scan objects on a "track", but given the size a track like that would have to be to scale to Lego Mario, a trackless RC version (perhaps with a few accessories like a start/finish line) would probably make much more sense. I have been working on the same idea:
Chill Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 The NES is probably the best lego set I've built in a long time. Really cool seeing this come together. Haven't started on the TV yet.

Soupperson1 Posted August 28, 2020 Posted August 28, 2020 Has anyone seen custom brick built figures/sets within this scale? I’d love to see them. I’ve been looking but I haven’t found anything beyond the Mario Kart set on the EB homepage.

Then realised how useless that would be and decided to hold out in hope of minifig sets instead. Sorry. I have a custom Invincibility Star, but it’s literally just the Podoboo printed eye part on a TLM2 yellow Star part. (I meant for it to be a custom Luma but it just doesn’t look right . . I’m working on the Luma thing still.)

I’ve been looking but I haven’t found anything beyond the Mario Kart set on the EB homepage. I've been fiddling around with concepts for characters and enemies digitally. Here's a recent one I was pretty happy with, a concept for what Princess Peach might look like (roughly scaled to other friendly characters like Toad, Toadette, and Yoshi):

Only thing I´ve thought of is a Big [?] Block, it work similar to the chest in the Toad Treasure Hunt Set.

I really like Blooper. and I think these are great for desk display even you are not into it. My box is packed in Europe (xxSx code), I wonder if the US version has the same distribution? I bought a complete box together with a friend
RedHoodPug Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 For the UK peeps, Smyth’s Toys have the full range including the bags in store. For whatever reason and like all lines throughout the store, some are on offer already. The sets in hand look pretty good, it has to be said.

Cause every box has 20 packages and the character set exist of 10 packages and every character is twice in the box. So if u can share a box with a friend, then u have all the characters at once

With JUST a face print she'd be excellent. However, I have one objection... She should be twice as tall as Mario!

She should be twice as tall as Mario! Eh... I'm operating on the assumption that Lego Mario is inevitably out of scale with most other characters thanks to his electronics. Making Peach that much taller than him would make her even larger than Bowser, and would make it a serious challenge to make a decent-looking castle for her without making it gigantic compared to other settings and course objects. Keeping Peach at a modest scale like this would be better for customization since she wouldn't look as out of place next to other enemies, objects, or landmarks.
Flak Maniak Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Yes, I was mostly not serious... But, I do like the thought of Giga Peach, being taller than Bowser! But yeah, your Peach design is great; just add one print and it's already good enough for me.
BrickBob Studpants Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Thanks to @Falconfan1414, here's our set list for the 1HY of 2021: 71380, $59.99 71381, $19.99 71382, $29.99 71383, $39.99 71384, $9.99 71385, $9.99 71386, $4.99 I hope 71386 is a second series of figures And 71380 would be at the ideal price point for a Luigi starter pack
7982Brick2 Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 This is great news especially since I thought we wouldn’t get any Mario sets until the summer.
jonwil Posted September 13, 2020 Posted September 13, 2020 Leaks I saw suggest the first one is the second starter set, the last one is more blind bags and the 2 above that are more suits.
Vorkosigan Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 Awesome to get more character packs so soon!
Falconfan1414 Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 71380: 366 pieces 71381: 160 pieces 71382: 267 pieces 71383: 374 pieces 71384: 18 pieces 71385: 13 pieces 71386: 24 pieces
The_Fiery_Rooster Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 With that many pieces in 71380, either Luigi is much cheaper because they already developed the technology with Mario, or it’s like Toad’s Treasure Hunt and just has a surprisingly small parts count... I’m hoping it’s the latter. I’m also excited we’re getting another character series, hopefully I’ll have better luck with this one! (Right now I have three bob-ombs sitting my desk. Ow.) I hope these new expansion sets offer some interesting new features or enemies or something, even a new biome would be cool. I hope we had the names of these, that would make this more interesting, but as it is, I’m glad to see we’ll be getting more soon!
Walter529a Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 New biomes for sure would be great, a forest, underground, Ice and Sky sets… Also if or when they do a Luigi Digi-Figure, should his main overalls be standard blue or different shade like dark blue?
Borex Posted September 14, 2020 Posted September 14, 2020 What new outfits will there be? Penguin? Tanuki? Frog?

I think that depends heavily on what 71380 actually is If it's a Luigi starter pack, then I would assume that at least one of the power-ups will be for him
