Eaglefan344 Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 So the rumors about Peach's castle were wrong all along. Apparently it's a big question mark block that opens up and features different levels (including Peach's castle). I always thought the $170 price point was odd for a Peach's castle.
Zepthire Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 So it's going to be more like a Polly Pocket locket. I was hoping for something like the Hogwarts D2C but maybe half as long or so. If it folds out completely, it could be Peachs Castle on the base and each wall and the roof could be a different world from Mario 64. Don't know if there's any truth to it but someone on insta said there are brickbuilt microfigures of Mario and Peach but no mention of minifigures.
BrickBob Studpants Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Too bad it‘s not Peach‘s Castle itself, but the foldable block does sound intriguing They‘re really thinking outside the box with this theme, aren‘t they?

jedisquidward Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) I swear to God please just have it be something good, please I'm worried about this new thing having Bomb Omb Battlefield in it if the rumors are true. I made my own microscale Bomb Omb Battlefield. What is even the point now? It's like owning BOTH of the UCS Millennium Falcons. Like, yeah, there's differences, but damn. It's part of a Mario MOC I've been trying to make instructions for and I hope this set doesn't invalidate a third of it. I was really hoping it would be Peach's Castle, I was going to do my first large-scale custom build by making the terrain and everything around it. The theme that's the most important to me is bringing the most anxiousness. It's the one time I just wish they would give this theme the regular treatment and NOT go super outside-the-box. There are a million versions of the popular Star Wars vehicles, why not try something like this with that theme instead? Just give us the standard, high quality Lego treatment instead of the constant curveballs for these designs. Granted, the more I think about it the more possibilities I imagine, so I'm sure it will be good. It's just a pain having to shift expectations to something else every time with this theme.

I am very much intrigued and kinda excited too. Although, I'm guessing the brick built figs will just be two or three 1x1 round plates stacked, peach being pink and brown, Mario being red and black (and red? I dunno) which doesn't excite me... Also @PGBQW what makes you say minifigure?

Mario does have a printed mustache on a 1 by 1. A few other brick built characters are included
BrickBob Studpants Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Can‘t wait for the reveal Not what I expected, but this has a lot of potential! @Ashnflash already received a review copy, so the official reveal can‘t be that far off
Clone OPatra Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Eurobricks received a review copy as well
astroboy75 Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 Can you say if it's good? Or disappointment ahead?
Clone OPatra Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 No, we have to keep quiet about things.

It‘s iconic enough in its own right The rumoured micro-scale interior makes it even better, especially if it‘s based on Mario 64
nicknack116 Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 This LEGO Super Mario line is never predictable! But, thinking about it now, it does seem obvious that LEGO would want to make a Mario block. I think I need to see the full set before deciding, but I hope it's more impressive than just the ? block because it's so easy to buy that as a display piece elsewhere. (I felt the same way about the NES set. It was cool on its own, but the TV and side-scrolling image was the extra LEGO thing that made it worth buying.) I hope it looks good when displayed open. Whatever "open" looks like.
Modal Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) Wait people are excited about that? Am I the only one that’s extremely disappointed that we can’t just get a normal building set in the Mario World? I’m tired of these gimmicks. Was dying for a full fledged Mario 64 Peach’s Castle. I guess I’ll wait until the official reveal to properly vent Edit: I will say though if there’s micro Mario 64 levels inside that would be pretty cool. Edited September 8, 2021 by Modal
Modal Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 I was wishing each side of the block would come down and have bigger models of the levels. It can’t just be those three tiny dioramas can it? It looks like there’s a side coming down on one of the images
jedisquidward Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 (edited) You've got to be kidding. There has to be more than this. It's obviously not fair to judge this based on a leaked image we can barely see but I honestly think there's a possibility my version might be better. I know that's incredibly narcissistic but wow I am not impressed with these microscales in this from first glance. Edited September 8, 2021 by jedisquidward
Modal Posted September 8, 2021 Posted September 8, 2021 So the majority of the set is a plain yellow block. Come on LEGO please just give us a god damn normal Mario set 4 minutes ago, jedisquidward said: You've got to be kidding. There has to be more than this.
