LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System with Super Mario Bros

Posted on July 14, 2020 at 8:57 am by Joe Moore under Lego Toy News, Video Game Toy News

LEGO NES Set 027

Yesterday, news had leaked out that LEGO was going to produce a set based on the iconic Nintendo Entertainment System. Today, they have officially revealed the set. The LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System includes a Super Mario Bros. cartridge, and a classic tube TV that can be used to “play” the game. The set features 2,646 pieces. When put together, the NES is somewhere between the size of the original Control Deck and the NES Mini. The Super Mario cart and the controller can actually be inserted into the control deck as you would with a classic NES. The set includes pieces to build World 1-1 from the game, and you use a crank on the side of the TV to have Mario run through the level. If you purchase the LEGO Super Mario Set, you can plug the Mario figure into the top of the TV. Mario will follow along and play the level music, and appropriate sound effects as you run through the course.

The set will be available exclusively from the LEGO Store starting August 1st. It is priced at $199.99. Bookmark the Product Page so you don’t miss it. You can see photos and a video after the jump.

    The price is too high for me, but it's honestly cheaper than I expected it to be. When I first saw it, I figured $300, then the going rumor yesterday was $250. I'm not into LEGO that much, so it would probably have to be $100 for me to really consider it.

    If they sold just the NES console for $100 I'd get it. I like this set but if I'm going to shell out $200 for a LEGO set it's gonna be a big ass pirate ship or something.

    Didn't even notice the price, $200 is a lot for this but I'm not a real Lego collector so don't know. I guess I figured no mini-figures and mostly long flat pieces they already had, I didn't think it'd get that pricey.

    But anyway, it looks great! Way better than the other Mario sets they're doing.

    Lego products are neat, but the company has really lost touch on the pricing. With 3D printers being a thing now, you could probably print this entire kit yourself for $10 worth of filament, maybe $20. So I know their production costs would probably be <$5 given economies of scale. So they are saying that customers should pay $195 for licensing, packing, and distribution plus a little for engineering (which honestly they probably didn't have to put in too much effort on this, maybe a day's wages for a designer).

    Dam, the tv even has a vhf/uhf selector. That's some nice attention to detail.

    Yes. It's a luxury. Lego can charge whatever they think people will pay for it. When it arrives at stores, THEN we'll find out if it's overpriced or not by how quickly it sells out.

    You 100% could not do this for $10 or $20 worth of materials. I agree that LEGO prices are definitely too high (hence why I don't collect them), but the development isn't cheap.

    How is it that in this day and age, people still think products should only cost the exact price of the base materials? And people are always wrong about those costs anyway. The cost doesn't just factor in only paying for the license and the materials. Cost includes the people who come up with the designs, the factory workers, the packaging materials, the packaging designer, the illustrator who comes up with the instructions.

    On top of all that, they factor in the time for each of those dteps. Time is money, and it's more expensive than anything else on the list.

    Because people don't think other people's labor and time is worth diddly squat

    This looks awesome. And to echo Joe- I was thinking $300.00 as well, so I was a bit surprised when I saw the price. Still too much for someone who doesn't collect LEGO, but it *is* really tempting...

    It's just so cute.

    This! Should be stickied on every post, in every thread, since there are soooooooo many Monday morning toy designers here that can do better than the companies.

    Wow, what a beautiful set!

    I too was surprised by the price. LEGO ain't cheap so I expected this to be more given the size, all the details and the scrolling TV.

    Given a blank slate, there's no way a designer is going to create this in ONE DAY. I mean are you serious? Have you ever sat down and designed anything, let alone something you have to build? You couldn't create the instructions in a one 8 hour day.

    Doesn't LEGO also constantly invest in new molds to avoid degradation? Surely that would drive up the price.

    Something I'd like to see, and something that would seriously tempt me to buy this, are additional game packs. Add-on sets that give you a new game cartridge to build and scenery that you can swap out of the TV. You could even do deluxe add-ons, like Duck Hunt that come with a Zapper, or Gyromite that comes with ROB the Robot.

    that is a fantastic idea.

    this set, and how it works, is one of the coolest things lego has ever done.

    Years ago, there was a travelling LEGO display going from mall to mall. Absolutely amazing sculptures! Yes, these were sculptures. Some artists work with clay, others stone... and now plastic cubes!

    Me, as a kid I was thrilled if I got a car to look like a car or a house to keep it's roof up. I've seen the flippin' White House made with several hundred thousand bricks, with the fountains, shrubs, everything perfectly represented in LEGO bricks! Just amazing.

    A friend has the Voltron Lions LEGO set and that looks amazing! They've come a long way from just being a plastic tub full of imagination.

    Yeah that's a terrific idea!

    It's amazing how exciting that idea sounds, spending excessive amounts of money to recreate video game scene that's not a game lol. Probably would sell for $20-30 each, Zapper $75-100 lol.
