Last year, during the MAR10 Day celebrations, Nintendo teased an upcoming Mario Kart ‘big build’ set that left fans eagerly anticipating its release. The silhouette of the set hinted at a more detailed kart than what had been seen in previous child-friendly builds. After a year of silence, the first official look at the set was expected to be revealed today, following a leak on an official LEGO retailer site that provided a glimpse into the details of the highly-anticipated LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart – Mario & Standard Kart set.
According to the Australian LEGO Certified Stores site, the set is scheduled to launch on 15th May for $249.99 AUD, which roughly translates to £122 / $158.
