Happy Mario Day, aka Mar10 Day! LEGO and Nintendo have officially announced their next large-scale set with 72050 Mario Kart Luigi & Mach 8<\/a> set for a 1 April 2026 release!<\/p>\n

After being teased way back in January<\/a>, we finally have a complete look at this 2,234-piece model, which lets you build Luigi\u2019s iconic Mach 8 Kart from the Mario Kart series. It\u2019s the perfect companion to 2025\u2019s excellent 72037 Mario & Standard Kart<\/a>\u00a0model.<\/p>\n

72050 Mario Kart Luigi & Mach 8<\/a> will be available exclusively from LEGO.com<\/a> or your local LEGO Store on 1 April 2026, with pre-orders open now online.<\/p>\n

See below for product pages and international pricing:<\/p>\n

There\u2019s been a slight price bump for the set over the 72037 Mario & Standard Kart<\/a>\u00a0set, but that\u2019s likely because there\u2019s close to 300 more pieces in the set. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The LEGO Luigi Mach 8 model measures over 10 in. (25 cm) high, 16 in. (41 cm) long and 9 in. (23 cm) wide, and is at the same scale as the big Mario Kart set. Here\u2019s both sets together side by side. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Mario and Standard Kart model set the bar incredibly high for sculpting, especially how well Mario translated into LEGO at this scale, and LEGO have done it again here with Luigi. The nose, moustache and hat elements all make a return here, and there\u2019s also a new L tile, as well as brand new printed rims. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve played Mario Kart, you\u2019d be able to fully appreciate just how accurate this model is to the in-game Kart, which is Luigi\u2019s signature vehicle.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an image gallery with more lifestyle photos supplied by LEGO.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s safe to say that if you enjoyed 72037 Mario & Standard Kart<\/a>, you\u2019ll definitely want to add Mario\u2019s younger twin brother and his signature Mach 8 kart to your collection, when it drops on 1 April 2026. <\/p>\n

Now that this is done, I really hope we get a bike next! Princess Peach on a bike would be really cool, or alternatively, I\u2019d love a Yoshi in his Egg 1 kart to complete the trio.<\/p>\n

72050 Mario Kart Luigi & Mach 8<\/a> will be available exclusively from LEGO.com<\/a> or your local LEGO Store from 1 April 2026, with pre-orders open now online.<\/p>\n

What do you think of the Luigi and Mach 8 set? Will you be adding this set to your collection?<\/p>\n
