New LEGO Mario Kart Sets Launching May 15

LEGO typically unveils its new sets on the first of each month, but not all releases stick to such a predictable schedule. Some sets simply arrive when they’re ready—no apologies, no delays. Today marks the launch of three exciting new LEGO sets, each with its own unique charm, led by a standout Mario Kart-themed release. Let’s dive into the details of the LEGO sets launching on May 15.

LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

If you're a Nintendo fan or love creative builds, this is the set for you. Priced at $169.99 (available at both the LEGO Store and Walmart), the *LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart* set is designed for the 18+ age group, offering a detailed and immersive building experience. It's crafted more for display than play, capturing the essence of the beloved Mario Kart series in stunning LEGO form. This release arrives just ahead of the launch of *Mario Kart World*, the first major new entry in the franchise in over a decade, set to debut alongside the Switch 2.
