All 16 Lego Super Mario Lego sets detailed - including how Mario interacts with the bricks
Lego announced back in March it would be producing interactive Super Mario Lego sets in cahoots with Nintendo. And now it has announced full details of the range including detailing the Expansion sets, Power-Up packs and Character Packs.
Be warned though - there are 16 sets in all, and to get the full range will cost you well over $500/£500. However. you should be able to get enough to be getting on with for around $100/£100 - just getting the Starter Course will leave you wanting more.
You can pre-order the 6+ rated $60/£50 231 piece Super Mario Adventures with Mario Starter Course (set number 71360), which is the main component of the series, also with Goomba and Bowser Jr.
The main set features an interactive Mario figure - larger than a minifigure - that collects coins in real-life game levels you create with the Lego components as you move from the Start Pipe to the Goal Pole. You can obviously create more challenging levels and games as you add more bricks.
The AAA-powered figure has LCD screens in his eyes, mouth and belly to display a wide variety of instant reactions to movement, as well as action bricks. There's also a speaker so you can hear sounds - yes, the ones you are familiar with. To enable this, there is an accelerometer and gyroscope inside the figure.
