It’s August, and that can only mean one thing: an avalanche of new LEGO Super Mario sets are now available to purchase. It’s almost upsetting how many of these sets became available all at once, or at least upsetting for our bank accounts. We’ve got the Starter Set, plus a heap of expansions that vary in price and intricacy. Then there’s a handful of Power-Up Packs to give Mario new looks and special abilities, and even blind bag character packs. Friends, it’s a lot.
If you’re interested in building LEGO Mario levels, the first thing you need to pick up is the Starter Set. That’s the only one that comes with the main man himself. And without Mario, you won’t have much fun with the expansions. You can also check out the LEGO Super Mario app that accompanies these sets.

Some of the sets are selling out at various retailers (looking at you, Amazon), so you might want to grab any you want sooner rather than later. If you don’t find what you want in stock at the links above, you can try the LEGO Store or Target, as they’re also available at those retailers. And if you’d like to see what we thought of it, check out our LEGO Super Mario hands-on preview. No go out there and start building.
