New LEGO Mario Kart Sets Launching May 15

This month’s LEGO lineup is packed with excitement, especially for fans of iconic franchises and art. While most LEGO sets follow a predictable monthly release schedule, a few standout collections break the mold by dropping whenever they feel like it. Today marks the debut of three exceptional sets, led by an impressive Mario Kart themed creation.

LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

Price: $169.99 (available at LEGO Store and Walmart)

The pièce de résistance this month has to be the LEGO Mario Kart set. Aimed at the 18+ crowd, this set offers an advanced build designed for display rather than play. It beautifully captures the essence of Mario Kart, providing a stunning visual representation just in time for the launch of Mario Kart World, the first new MK game in over a decade.

LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft

Space enthusiasts rejoice! The latest addition to the LEGO Icons series combines two legendary icons: the Boeing 747 and NASA’s Space Shuttle Enterprise.

Its intricate design pays homage to the golden age of space travel, offering a nostalgic journey through time.

LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures

Price: $119.99 (available at LEGO Store)

Joining the May 15 release is a vibrant set inspired by the iconic artwork of Keith Haring.
