With the new Super Mario Bros. animated feature length movie on the horizon, we’re about to enter new Mario Bros. territory. Can you say, Super Mario Bros. Happy Meal toys? Really, I’m not sure that will actually happen. I know Nintendo likes to keep a lock down on their IP so who knows what alliances they will soon form. But, I digress. They do have quite the alliance with LEGO and have release some really cool new Lego sets!
I first heard about these on Nerdist.com, “The latest seven releases include interactive Super Mario builds that involve collecting coins and bonking bricks, just like the video games. There’s expansion packs like Conkdor, a lava wave, and a snow adventure. Or you can try your luck with the character sets. The eight possibilities include some deep cuts. There’s Birdo, Green Toad, Ice Bro, Bramball, Cat Goombas, Blooper (including baby Bloopers), Sumo Bro, and Spike.” And in other good news, these aren’t an announcement, these are all available right now! You can check out the whole set over on Lego’s website.
While I was poking around LEGO’s website I also saw this set retro Nintendo game console and television set. How cool is this guy? It, also is available right now.
Did you also know that Fanboys and Fanboys Marketplace are authorized LEGO dealers. So, if you see anything LEGO, chances are we can order it for you straight up, and have it delivered to our stores! Just stop by a Fanboys and talk to any associate and we’ll see what we can do to help! And since we’re talking about Super Mario Bros. anyone else jazzed to see the movie on the big screen? We sure are! We’re also thinking about that 1993 Super Mario Bros. film with John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins. Maybe it’ll soon be streaming again to drum up some buzz for the new film. We’re crossing our fingers, but not holding out breath.
