Eight new sets featuring proper LEGO Super Mario minifigures have been officially unveiled, giving collectors their first look at brick-built versions of Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Bowser built to standard minifigure scale. The range, confirmed by LEGO.com, covers everything from a 61-piece starter set at £8.99 all the way up to an 850-piece Bowser’s Castle retailing at £89.99.
This is not the app-connected smart brick system that has defined the LEGO Super Mario line since its launch. These are minifigures: the proper, palm-sized, collectable figures that LEGO enthusiasts have wanted from the moment Nintendo and the LEGO Group first joined forces. The distinction matters enormously to anyone who has watched the existing system gather dust once the batteries ran flat.
From MAR10 Day Tease to Gamescom Reveal
The confirmation that LEGO Super Mario minifigures would finally arrive did not come entirely out of nowhere. According to LEGO.com, the news that minifigures would form part of the Super Mario range was first teased during MAR10 Day celebrations earlier in the year, with hints dropped across social media channels. Fans who caught those posts had a long wait for the full picture, and gamescom in Cologne provided it, with the complete eight-set line-up shown to the public for the first time.
Gamescom is not the obvious venue for a LEGO reveal, which made the announcement land all the harder for those present. The Cologne show gave the sets a large audience and an immediate sense of occasion, and the full pricing and piece counts were confirmed at the same time.
The Full LEGO Super Mario Minifigures Range
The eight sets span a wide range of budgets and complexity. At the entry level, 72052 Mario’s Pipe Jump comes in at US$9.99 / £8.99 / €9.99 / AU$14.99 / CAD$12.99. Step up slightly and 72054 Racing with Mario is priced at US$14.99 / £12.99 / €14.99 / AU$22.99 / CAD$19.99, followed by 72055 Mario’s Beach Adventures at US$19.99 / £17.99 / €19.99 / AU$29.99 / CAD$27.99.
The mid-range brings in more characters: 72056 Luigi & Bowser Jr.’s Race and 72061 Fire Luigi vs. Koopa Troopa Battle both sit at US$29.99 / £26.99 / €29.99 / AU$44.99 / CAD$39.99. For those wanting Yoshi represented on the shelf, 72057 Yoshi at Mario’s House comes in at US$39.99 / £34.99 / €39.99 / AU$59.99 / CAD$54.99.
The larger sets are where the piece counts climb. 72058 Bowser’s Rumbling Race retails at US$59.99 / £54.99 / €59.99 / AU$89.99 / CAD$79.99, and the headline set, 72060 Fire Mario & Bowser’s Castle, tops the range at US$99.99 / £89.99 / €99.99 / AU$149.99 / CAD$129.99 with up to 850 pieces. Bowser rendered in minifigure form at that scale should be something worth building towards.
January 2027 Launch Date
All eight sets launch on 1 January 2027, which gives collectors several months to plan. That is long enough for the secondary market speculation to begin in earnest, but also long enough to budget properly across the full range if you intend to collect all eight.
The gap between the MAR10 Day social media tease and the Gamescom reveal in Cologne stretched the anticipation out considerably. Now that prices, piece counts and character line-ups are all confirmed, the wait until January is the only thing standing between LEGO Super Mario minifigures and the display shelves of everyone who has been holding off on the existing smart-brick system. The 4+ entry point at £8.99 means there is also a realistic stocking-filler option for the first time in the franchise’s LEGO history.
