I'd like to see the Hammer Suit myself.

Oh, and not really a suit, but being able to sit inside that boot and hop around...

Goomba's (Kuribo's) shoe was a fun item though extremely rare like appearing in only a single level out of the whole game.

LEGO should adapt the concept behind Super Mario Maker 2 video games. They should create elements from various Mario games and release a bunch as a theme every year / quarter.  So maybe Spring 2021 will have elements from Super Mario 3, Fall 2021 would be Mario World, 2022 would be Mario 64, etc etc  

From insta. Shows the LCD screen placement behind the face and body, interesting...

Bigger failure: Mario or Dimensions or Hidden Side?

(Relax, Fusion, your title is safe; this is the battle for 2nd biggest LEGO/tech failure)...

Mario looks to be back up on Lego.com

although you don’t get the mushroom freebie this time, but rather a much more desired beach buggy

those little derp sets for a suit? man they are in it to win it. hard pass for me on these. I really like the mario theme too.  Speaking of which, I just bought a vintage super mario pinball machine. So legit.

Very nice find. Though since there were two released back in 1992 which one?

top one, the lower one is actually a smaller version for kids to use. Even though my kids use the adult sized one with a chair, ha.

I had the big one for a while. Loved the theme and playfield. Was not crazy about the flippers. Gottlieb's felt clunky compared to Williams. Still a great game. 

My dining room turned bar. Wife idea.

I have one too.....

Very cool, I think eventually I'll trade it in for a new one, right now I have young kids and the theme, nostalgia works for us/me.

I'm not sure about this theme. I think if they made a CMF line it would do very well and everyone would buy them. With this however, I think they'll be alienating older buyers, and I'm not sure younger people will be into them. Young people would probably just play the switch instead. I think this was a lost opportunity. I'm not sure who came up w/ the play features aspect, but it's a bit forced.

I just stumbled upon a Lego theme Heroica from 2011 I knew nothing about.  It reminds me a lot of this new Super Mario theme with the 2-by-X gameplay paths.  The fact that I knew nothing about it, and that it reminds me of this Super Mario theme, makes me really hope the new theme isn't easily forgotten.  I mean the licensing with Nintendo has lots of possibilities, I'm just curious about this particular hands-on play experience.  And without minifigs nothing here really helps MOCs.  Maybe some inspiration for some MOCs, but much of this seems that it could be built with spare parts.  I'm still hoping for minifigs down the road.  Or something Zelda flavored.

I had that one for a while, too actually, it's great fun and the sound effects are fantastic.  Bought it for $1000 in 2008 out of Minneapolis back to Cedar Rapids Iowa and sold it a couple years later for the same amount to someone in Waterloo Iowa.  My best story was a Whirlwind I got out of St. Louis for $500 and a year later sold it for $2500 on eBay ($500 freight shipping on top) to someone in Atlanta.

I like the blind bag options the best in all honesty. I think these will be sought after just for the figures (Yoshi and Toad). I am a fan of Blooper and Shy Guy, so I know Ill be going for the set. 

New sets listed as "coming soon" on lego.com: https://www.lego.com/en-us/themes/super-mario?CMP=AFC-AffiliateUS-0wLgH49VWzI-2949699-115554-5005321

expansions trailer: 

 

Love the blind bags.  Might be the first set that I collect an entire series of. 

 

Still no love for Luigi. Would really encourage 2 Player options. I would imagine its in the works, but still even a Princess Peach would be nice as a playable Character. Not hating, these new expansion sets really help define the theme lineup. They are really going all in on this.

Saving my money for the Bowsette version.
