LEGO typically launches most new sets at the beginning of each month, but some special releases defy the schedule. On May 15th, three exciting new sets hit shelves – with a Mario Kart build stealing the spotlight. Here's a detailed look at these latest LEGO creations.
LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

This premium Mario Kart set represents 2025's most anticipated LEGO release for gaming enthusiasts. Designed as an 18+ collector's item, it features intricate detailing perfect for display rather than active play.
