The Mario 2021 sets are dropping 1/1/2021

LEGO went all in with this series

I still want Tanuki Mario in minifig size with real Tanuki tail !

Those power up packs seemed like a bust last time around, but who doesn't love Tanooki Mario?  

I did the Tanooki Mario also!  And the new Mario 64 music playing in the background of the video.  Overall, I'm hands off on this line.  Huge Mario and NES fan just not into this line at all. 

The 2nd round of character packs are shown here on SAH. You can just go ahead and charge my Paypal account now, @MinifiguresPlus.

Kind of wish they put another Koopaling in here instead of that mid-level boss... and this marks the beginning of the multicolored Yoshi cash grab 🤪

My brother would look like me in a green suit, also.

I like it. SMB seems to be a hit. A few smaller sets retiring this summer, should be interesting.

I’m ugly crying right now because I’m so happy. This is what I’ve been waiting for from this theme!

The pirate ship is a must have, but the lakitu looks really good too and the Reznor one looks like fun.

Overall, a good job on the second line.

Yay LEGO!

How are others feeling about Mario sets?

Many of them are getting pretty deeply discounted. I see the whole theme as a bit of a flop, but given the significance of the Mario brand I wonder if they have longer term potential...

I'm getting tempted.

I was hyped when they were first announced.  I was at my local Lego store the morning of release and picked up a bulk of the sets.  I did not open any sets, but I did open a set of the mini characters builds (easily to display like a minifig).  After thinking more about them, they do not display well for me and really are designed to be played with.  Too young for my toddler at the moment, so I returned all of them towards the Barracuda set.  I only collect the mini characters (need series 3 now).  I did keep the starter Mario set as I have the NES too (have yet to build) since the Mario interacts with the NES set.

Being a Nintendo fan, hard to say the set will have long lasting appeal for any collector for display only, but maybe if some kids like Nintendo and want to play with some Mario themed sets?

I could see the brick built characters having the appeal more than the sets(I. e. the bowser figure > castle). However if they do Peach's castle with the same detail as the 71391 ship I think we have a home run set.... This is coming from a Nintendo fan boy

Spotted this in the “wild” at a Walmart today!

My local Walmart has the August display up with Luigi, Lakitu, Sumo, collectible minifigs 3, and all the small ones like Frog Mario. No Airship though , because it's too large for the display.

Yay LEGO!

Hope the price isn’t too high.

I like it a lot!

sorry for the crappy quality, but that is all I could find.
