Isle of Man, Isle of Wight, Northern Ireland and the Scottish Highlands) may take longer to reach you. Compared to last year's 71391 Bowser's Airship, which is only a couple of hundred pieces smaller, it feels like it adds significantly more value to the way the courses are designed for the app-based game. There's a large number of tiles to scan, obstacles to overcome, and interactivity.
The "Mario and Luigi" RPGs were made under license by another studio which went bankrupt, Nintendo didn't ever fully own the series, and it's unknown who has the rights now.

Bowser has, that's what! He can be placed in front of the doors, his little tail resting on the chain (there's a reason for this), and glaring menacingly at Peach as she enters the room. Scanning the tile in front of Bowser starts playing the boss music from the game. A large but cohesive set with a number of fun interactive features that add to the LEGO Super Mario game. Lego Peach has her own Starter Course, just like Mario and Luigi, which features Lemmy and a Lava Bubble. Either side of the doors, a short wall section is attached, incorporating a small round tower. The base of the tower tapers to the ground by cleverly using an existing cone part, new here in white, attached upside down. The roof of the tower is also a new part, and looks fantastic. Hopefully we'll see this make an appearance elsewhere in colours other than red. It's topped with a brand new 1x2 jumper plate, rounded to match the curve of the top of the roof (half of a 2x2 circle). LEGO Peach brings her recognizable voice and sound effects to the LEGO Super Mario Universe. All three interactive figures will now be available in separate Starter Courses – or entry points into the world of LEGO Super Mario. With the Adventures with Peach Starter Course, fans can earn digital coins and discover various reactions by helping the princess ride the swing set and open gifts, while defeating enemies like Lemmy and a Lava Bubble, or befriending a Yellow Toad. The interactive LEGO Peach, LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi figures are able to connect with one another via Bluetooth (two at a time), where players can greet each other, celebrate, and team up to defeat enemies - earning bonus digital coins by working together. Dual-player action earns more coins, making it even more fun to play together with others. With the August release, the interactive figures will also be able to trigger positive reactions by eating fruits found across the new sets or gifting fruits to other characters - that’s sure to add even more fun to the adventures in the LEGO Super Mario universe.
Defending the castle from the outside is Ludwig von Koopa, a rather stylish chap with fabulous blue hair. Apparently, he's Bowser's second-in-command, and hasn't appeared in any set in the theme yet. He wields a blue magic wand, and the face printing is accurate to the source material, from the blue eyebrows down to his single large tooth. ORIGINAL STORY 9/3/22: Tomorrow, 10th March, sees the return of Nintendo's officially recognised annual Mario Day (Mar10, if it helps) and, among the usual festivities, it looks like Lego is preparing to unveil a brand-new set in its Lego Mario range, this one themed around Princess Peach. Billund, March 10 2022: The LEGO Group announced that LEGO® Peach™ will be entering the universe of LEGO® Super Mario™, a product line developed together with Nintendo. LEGO Peach joins LEGO® Mario™ and LEGO® Luigi™ for fans to continue to build out their very own LEGO Super Mario adventures. Players will now be able to power up their adventure with even more fun options with the iconic princess when the LEGO Super Mario Adventures with Peach Starter Course becomes available from August 1st 2022.UPDATE 10/3/22: Yesterday's leaked Lego Peach electronic toy and the Princess Peach's Castle set have now been officially unveiled by Lego and given a 1st August release date. Externally, the two wall sections are identical mirror images of each other. Internally, however, they differ. The right-hand section is the most interactive, featuring a large painting hanging on the wall! Long-time fans of Super Mario will recognise this as the first warp painting in Super Mario 64, through which Mario can travel to access Bob-omb Battlefield, one of the mini worlds within the game.
Update: looks like the reveal was a little early, and they’ve deleted the post – but thankfully, I’ve managed to save the images! As always, the sets command a high price both due to their tie-in with the app and Nintendo's brand, but if you're already all-in on the game then Peach's castle brings more of the fun you're used to and a boss battle to boot.And last but not least, we get Ludwig Von Koopa, who is included in the Princess Peach Castle! Hopefully this signals more Koopalings to come!
