LEGO enthusiasts, get ready! While most LEGO sets debut on the first of each month, today marks the release of three exciting sets that couldn't wait, along with some enticing gifts with purchase. Leading the charge is a new Mario Kart set that's bound to thrill fans. Let's dive into the LEGO sets hitting the shelves on May 15.
Priced at $169.99, available at both the LEGO Store and Walmart, this Mario Kart set is a must-have for IGN readers. Designed for the 18+ age group, this set is an advanced build meant for display rather than play. It captures the essence of Mario Kart beautifully and arrives just in time for the buzz around the upcoming Mario Kart World on the Switch 2—the first new MK game in over a decade. Dive into our "We Build LEGO Mario Kart" feature to see what building this set entails for Nintendo enthusiasts.
Available for $229.99 at the LEGO Store, this set lets you recreate the Boeing 747 and NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise. LEGO's rich history of space-themed sets continues with this adult-targeted model, perfect for desk or shelf display. It's an ideal gift for any space science aficionado.
For $119.99 at the LEGO Store, this set brings the vibrant, bold dancing figures of Keith Haring to life. Construct five colorful figures that you can hang on a wall or display on stands, adding a splash of art to your space.
LEGO Insiders can redeem their points for this exclusive set. With 2,500 LEGO Insiders points, you can get a promo code for the LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart - Spiny Shell, a buildable version of the infamous Blue Shell power-up. Remember, you'll need to make a purchase to redeem this set at the LEGO Store.
Spend $150 or more at the LEGO Store (excluding preorders) and receive the Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut for free while supplies last. This buildable not-so-mini-figure complements the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set mentioned earlier.
Spend $40 or more on Ninjago-themed sets to snag the Mini Ninja Combo Mech set (valued at $4.99, set #30699, 80 pieces) at no extra cost.
In other exciting news, preorders are now open for the LEGO Pixar Luxo Jr., the iconic lamp from the Pixar logo. And don't forget to check out all the biggest LEGO sets launching in May 2025 for more building fun.
