LEGO Super Mario Minifigure Sets Launching January 2027

Your wallet is already bracing for impact. LEGO has officially pulled back the curtain on a new wave of Super Mario sets, and this time, they’re bringing minifigures. Yes, actual LEGO minifigures, a move that feels long overdue for the Super Mario theme. These eight new sets drop on January 1, 2027, shifting the focus from those interactive figures to something more traditional and, frankly, more exciting for many fans.

The announcement came out of Gamescom 2026, where LEGO gave attendees a first look. We're talking about sets designed for builders of all ages, including some 4+ options, so everyone can jump into building their own Super Mario adventures. The range starts with the tiny 72052 Mario’s Pipe Jump, packing just 64 pieces for a US$9.99 price tag. On the other end of the spectrum is the massive 72060 Fire Mario & Bowser’s Castle, a hefty 850-piece build that will set you back US$99.99. This is a significant refresh for the theme, and the inclusion of minifigures across these sets is a major win. Across these eight sets, ten iconic Super Mario characters will debut as minifigures, including Mario, Luigi, Bowser Jr., Toad, and Yoshi, alongside various powered-up versions and enemies like Koopa Troopa.

Patrick Otley, Design Manager at LEGO, stated this is a "celebration of our partnership with Nintendo," aiming to give kids more freedom to create their own stories. Ricardo Silva, another Design Manager for the theme, even gave walkthroughs at Gamescom. While the concept of LEGO Super Mario minifigures is fantastic, the actual sets still lean heavily into the interactive game mechanics, which might not appeal to everyone. The pricing, while accessible for the smaller sets, escalates quickly for the larger builds.

With the US$9.99 Mario’s Pipe Jump set, the estimated import price in India lands around ₹1,200. The larger US$99.99 Bowser’s Castle set is estimated at ₹12,000. That's roughly the cost of two decent biryani meals for the small set, or a month's worth of your favourite streaming service for the big one. No official India retail prices or availability dates have been confirmed yet, but expect a 4–6 week lag from the global launch. Keep an eye on Toycra and MyBrickHouse for potential listings.

For collectors who just want the minifigures, buying the individual sets might feel like a steep price to pay. The core appeal of minifigures is usually their collectibility and display potential, often without needing to invest in large, game-centric builds. While the smaller sets offer a more palatable entry point, the overall value proposition depends heavily on how much you engage with the interactive gameplay elements. For those purely after the minifigures, this might be a case of waiting for individual figure sales or a significant price drop.

WAIT

Verdict: WAIT. Good set, but the price will drop.

On that bombshell, bubyee.
