To celebrate this year’s Mario Day (MAR10), LEGO has revealed a new Mario Kart themed set centered on Luigi.
While Mario already got a massive set like this (for last year’s MAR10 Day), fans will soon be able to add Luigi to their shelves as well. Though it sadly looks like you won’t be quite able to (officially) recreate his iconic Mario Kart death stare.
A standout MAR10 Day gift, this first ever large scale LEGO brick recreation of the Mach 8 kart is designed for builders 18 and up. The 2,234 piece LEGO retail exclusive includes a posable Luigi figure, functional steering, spinning flame exhaust, and a display stand for dynamic mid drift angles, with the ability to roll the kart forward off stand.
Get set for an exciting creative journey with the Mario Kart™ – Luigi & Mach 8 (72050) model building kit for adults. A brilliant gamer gift for men, women and any fans, the set features a buildable Luigi figure with a posable head, arms and hands, sitting behind the wheel of the first-ever large-scale LEGO® brick model of the Mach 8 kart. Recreate authentic details of the Mach 8 and place your creation on the display stand at a dynamic angle, as if it is in the middle of a Mario Kart race. Take your creation off the stand and for a spin, using the steering wheel to turn left and right while the flame exhaust spins automatically as the Mach 8 moves. This collectible building set is the ideal counterpart for 72037 Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart (sold separately). Build smarter with the LEGO Builder app – zoom, rotate in 3D, track your progress and follow step-by-step digital instructions. Set contains 2,234 pieces.
The LEGO Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 set is available for pre-order right now and will launch on April 1st.
