The 1,215-piece set includes a 16-bit caped Mario who rides Yoshi, and what looks like a hand crank that makes Yoshi stick out his tongue. Western pricing is yet to be revealed, but local pricing suggests an approximate $160 cost in the U.S.
An official reveal looks likely at San Diego Comic-Con, which kicks off today, July 25. Attendees have already spotted what looks like a tease for the set at the show.

LEGO has also unveiled a few more Mario sets, including The Bowser Express Train set, the King Boo’s Haunted Mansion set, and Battle with Roy at Peach’s Castle set. In March, LEGO and Nintendo announced that LEGO Mario Kart sets launch in 2025.
