This set is the first of its kind in terms of detail, size, and flexibility within the Lego Mario Kart series. Lego intends for it to be a collector’s item, serving as a Super Mario-themed decor piece once assembled. With such an intricate design, many fans are already speculating whether Lego will expand the lineup with other beloved Mario characters.
