Nintendo Teases New LEGO Super Mario Yoshi Set for 2027
Nintendo has officially teased a new LEGO set featuring Yoshi, the character from the Super Mario franchise. The teaser appeared on the Nintendo Today app and showed a close-up image of a LEGO version of Yoshi's face, including his eyes, snout, and cheeks. The announcement post reads, "New Lego Super Mario set hatching soon." Another version of the message said, "Hatching soon."
The teaser indicates the set will be part of LEGO's adult-oriented line. Polygon reported that the announcement said "adults welcome," implying the set will likely be big, made of many pieces, and expensive. Brick Fanatics described it as the next LEGO Super Mario 18+ set. Vice noted that previous Nintendo installments in the Adults Welcome line ended up retailing for around $150, and cited the Adults Welcome Mario Kart – Luigi & Mach 8 set, which retailed for $179.99 and came with 2,234 pieces.
Nintendo did not share details on when the LEGO Yoshi set would be released or how much it would cost, but confirmed it is on track for 2027. The copyright on the image has 2027 for the year, implying the set won't be out until some time next year. GamesRadar+ reported that, judging by the 2027 trademark, LEGO Yoshi won't be launching this year. There is no official release date for the next LEGO Nintendo collaboration.
The two companies have collaborated for years on Mario sets. LEGO has several Nintendo sets available, including Mario Kart sets. The Mario and Yoshi pixel art set is currently sold out at the LEGO store, but the Mario Kart sets are still readily available. On the way next year, in addition to the newly announced Yoshi, are Super Mario minifigures. Brick Fanatics reported that the next batch of LEGO Super Mario sets lands January 1 and overhauls the theme with long-awaited traditional minifigure playsets, from 72052 Mario's Pipe Jump to 72060 Fire Mario & Bowser's Castle.
Other recent LEGO Nintendo collaborations include Zelda sets. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Final Battle LEGO set was revealed earlier this year, and a set for Link and Epona will be available next spring.
