TheOrcKing Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 I'd like to see the Hammer Suit myself.

Goomba's (Kuribo's) shoe was a fun item though extremely rare like appearing in only a single level out of the whole game. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 LEGO should adapt the concept behind Super Mario Maker 2 video games. They should create elements from various Mario games and release a bunch as a theme every year / quarter. So maybe Spring 2021 will have elements from Super Mario 3, Fall 2021 would be Mario World, 2022 would be Mario 64, etc etc 2 Quote

thedingman5 Posted May 19, 2020 Posted May 19, 2020 Bigger failure: Mario or Dimensions or Hidden Side? (Relax, Fusion, your title is safe; this is the battle for 2nd biggest LEGO/tech failure)... 2 Quote
MotorCityMuscle Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 Mario looks to be back up on Lego.com although you don’t get the mushroom freebie this time, but rather a much more desired beach buggy Quote
rcdb1984 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 those little derp sets for a suit? man they are in it to win it. hard pass for me on these. I really like the mario theme too. Speaking of which, I just bought a vintage super mario pinball machine. So legit. Quote

rcdb1984 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 (edited) top one, the lower one is actually a smaller version for kids to use. Even though my kids use the adult sized one with a chair, ha. Edited May 21, 2020 by rcdb1984 2 Quote

Gottlieb's felt clunky compared to Williams. Still a great game. Quote

rcdb1984 Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 Very cool, I think eventually I'll trade it in for a new one, right now I have young kids and the theme, nostalgia works for us/me. Quote
scurt1s Posted May 21, 2020 Posted May 21, 2020 I'm not sure about this theme. I think if they made a CMF line it would do very well and everyone would buy them. With this however, I think they'll be alienating older buyers, and I'm not sure younger people will be into them. Young people would probably just play the switch instead. I think this was a lost opportunity. I'm not sure who came up w/ the play features aspect, but it's a bit forced. Quote
MusiKyle Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) I just stumbled upon a Lego theme Heroica from 2011 I knew nothing about. It reminds me a lot of this new Super Mario theme with the 2-by-X gameplay paths. The fact that I knew nothing about it, and that it reminds me of this Super Mario theme, makes me really hope the new theme isn't easily forgotten. I mean the licensing with Nintendo has lots of possibilities, I'm just curious about this particular hands-on play experience. And without minifigs nothing here really helps MOCs. Maybe some inspiration for some MOCs, but much of this seems that it could be built with spare parts. I'm still hoping for minifigs down the road. Or something Zelda flavored.

Bought it for $1000 in 2008 out of Minneapolis back to Cedar Rapids Iowa and sold it a couple years later for the same amount to someone in Waterloo Iowa. My best story was a Whirlwind I got out of St. Louis for $500 and a year later sold it for $2500 on eBay ($500 freight shipping on top) to someone in Atlanta. Edited June 15, 2020 by MusiKyle Quote

I think these will be sought after just for the figures (Yoshi and Toad). I am a fan of Blooper and Shy Guy, so I know Ill be going for the set. Quote
Ecto Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 New sets listed as "coming soon" on lego.com: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/super-mario?CMP=AFC-AffiliateUS-0wLgH49VWzI-2949699-115554-5005321 expansions trailer: Love the blind bags. Might be the first set that I collect an entire series of. Quote
CosmicSpeed Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 Still no love for Luigi. Would really encourage 2 Player options. I would imagine its in the works, but still even a Princess Peach would be nice as a playable Character. Not hating, these new expansion sets really help define the theme lineup. They are really going all in on this. Quote
