Leaks are nothing new for LEGO these days, as new sets and teases are seemingly hitting often long before being officially announced. While there have been no shortage of rumors, LEGO finally announced official new sets for Super Mario launching in January 2027. These sets have been a big hit for both LEGO and Nintendo, so it should be too surprising to see more on the way. Seven new sets are planned to launch in January, ranging from smaller builds like Mario’s Pipe Jump, to slightly more demanding ones like Fire Mario at Bowser’s Castle, which comes in at 850 pieces and a $99.99 price tag.
