New LEGO Mario Kart Sets Launching May 15

LEGO enthusiasts, get ready for some exciting news! While LEGO typically rolls out its new sets on the first of each month, today is a special day with the release of three unique sets on May 15. Leading the charge is a highly anticipated Mario Kart set, so let's dive into the details of these new LEGO releases.

LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

For $169.99, available at the LEGO Store and Walmart, the LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart set is a must-have for IGN readers. Targeted at the 18+ age group, this set is designed for a more advanced build and is perfect for display. It captures the essence of Mario Kart beautifully and arrives just in time for the buzz around the upcoming Mario Kart World game, set to launch with the Switch 2.

LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft

Priced at $229.99 at the LEGO Store, the LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set lets you recreate the iconic Boeing 747 and NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise. This set continues LEGO's tradition of space-themed builds, joining the ranks of sets that have been celebrated in coffee table books. It's another adult-focused set, ideal for display on a desk or shelf, and makes an excellent gift for space enthusiasts.

LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures

For $119.99 at the LEGO Store, the LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures set brings the vibrant art of Keith Haring to life. This set allows you to build five colorful, boldly outlined dancing figures, which you can either hang on a wall or display on stands. It's a great addition for art lovers looking to add a unique piece to their collection.

LEGO Mario Kart Spiny Shell - LEGO Insiders Rewards Center

LEGO Insiders can redeem their points for the LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart - Spiny Shell set. If you've accumulated 2,500 LEGO Insiders points, you can exchange them at the LEGO Insiders Rewards Center for a promo code. This code will add the Spiny Shell set to your next LEGO Store purchase. It's a fun recreation of the infamous Blue Shell power-up from the Mario Kart series.

New LEGO Gifts With Purchase

Spend $150 or more at the LEGO Store (excluding preorders), and you'll receive the Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut set while supplies last. This buildable not-so-mini-figure complements the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set mentioned earlier.

Additionally, if you spend $40 or more on Ninjago-themed sets, you'll get the Mini Ninja Combo Mech set (valued at $4.99, set #30699, 80 pieces) for free. It's a great way to enhance your LEGO collection.
