The functions of the set just make it a million times better.

[@redresistor1330]

The functions make assembly very tedious. Lots of small internal parts... Some of which were missing from set. My advice is don't buy this horrible set

[@Gunkgay]

It was a set I wasn’t sure about I got it and it’s one of my faves honestly, also looks so good

[@brickvibes6233]

@@marcuscostello5635 i mean the price is just becoming the standard for lego unfortunately.

[@Proper.Gaming012]

I think this is great way for adults to play with their kids. The kid can play through the course until they get to the mighty bowser being controlled by the parent. The concept is simple enough but really effective

[@c00lmike]

I just got this set yesterday and CANNOT WAIT to build it and put it in my game room. All three 'adult' Nintendo sets are just incredible

[@TiagoCatarino]

Agreed!!

[@chainchompsrule]

Tiago, great review! Seeing you use the play features made this set finally make sense to me. Your comment at the end about how unique the Mario line has been made me realize why I enjoy it so much!

[@TiagoCatarino]

Right?! Thank you!

[@MR-SINISTER76]

@@TiagoCatarino when u finished it did u have 4x spare black technic pins everything works fine but now ik kinda paranoid that something will break cause im pretty sure i should not have that many extra pieces

[@brots3]

I’m not done yet but I had an extra black technic pin in bag 7

[@alessandroyoutube6926]

I love your reviews, they don’t simply showcase the products (which most other reviews do IMHO), but give greats insights about the building techniques used and make me appreciate sets - and the work put in by the designers - much more. Keep it up!

[@jardex2275]

It looks like a great set. The functions make me consider what other 'puppet' sets they could release. Maybe a Muppet or Pinocchio set? I think the integration with the Super Mario courses is something they're obligated to do, even with the adult themed sets. It's sad that they didn't send you the set, so hopefully my continued subscription will help recoup the costs of the build. Thanks for going out of your way to buy and review it for us.

[@Live4Christ1995]

Would love to see a Lego Pinnochio!

[@Chaosrunepownage]

Fun detail: the grand piano set is exactly the right scale to recreate the Peaches scene. Thanks Scheels for bringing that to my attention!

[@kennethhernandez9243]

I’ve only have the arms to go as this being my 4th big boy adult set, watching this come together in the build is magnificent. Lego designers are true engineers. Been loving your content and great review

[@MineWiz]

The added super mario elements are great for parents who like lego, since now they can have a great looking set made for adults that also works as a toy that they can use to play with their kids with. All around reqlly cool set that i'll definitely be picking up!

[@maxcorrice9499]

This would be a perfect “dad” set, great display piece for the office, and can play with the kids, the two phase thing can make for an excellent cinematic thing

[@lovinkaiju2206]

For someone who hasn't touched a lego set in more than 5 yrs i gotta say that this one was extremely easy and fun to build. Apparently he has more than 8k pieces but it felt like he had only 10. Functions really well (not for playing with kids ofc, i see it more like a display figure)

[@Santanilla]

I do like the base and am glad they added it, it gives it a nice environment to display

[@BigWillTheMill]

I keep going back and fourth on this set, I want it, but the cost makes me recoil. Looks like a fun build and falls in line with several of my interest (humanoid builds with joints, video games, display pieces). The Mario sets in general have been "weak" as a display, but this makes me really want to setup a Mario level diorama.

[@criticalboot2567]

Just curious, what is your thoughts on the mixels series?

[@BigWillTheMill]

@@criticalboot2567 mixed. Had some good parts that I could use elsewhere, but the cost for those particular parts wasn't worth it, and the sets per bag themselves did nothing for me as an AFOL. We bought like 2 or 3 of them and left it at that. I liked the idea, final execution just wasn't for me.

[@criticalboot2567]

​@@BigWillTheMill thats fair, personally i want to one day get them all as i quite like them

[@jardex2275]

What is your usual Lego budget? Even if you can't afford it now, start saving a bit each paycheck, and get it later. It'll feel a whole lot better than getting it now, then needing to eat ramen for the next month.

[@BigWillTheMill]

@@jardex2275 I don't have a set budget, just soul crushing guilt when I've spent too much - which will quickly happen with this set HAHA. (In all seriousness I compare the cost to other forms of entertainment, this is practically a Nintendo Switch, for something that will just be a display piece, so its just hard to swallow that cost without apprehension)

[@jackyharuhiko]

The mighty bowser is my favourite Lego set and it gives me so much nostalgia. The finished product is so refined, close to original, sturdy (and heavy!), very playable, and looks absolutely stunning when displayed. I love it so much! The set costed USD185 for me and I think it’s reasonable given the high quality.

[@Qui-GonJohn]

Looks absolutely amazing. The designer nailed it

[@aerenrose3528]

I love how when putting his neck together it looks like a warp pipe

[@daviddodger]

I love your reviews because I didn't realise that this wasn't just a still Bowser and now I really want this set

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Loved it from first reveal. Spectacular build/display model, and packed with fun play features. Price unfortunately a bit steep as this 350+ here in Canada. Still Lego did an amazing job.

[@frieswithmayonaise184]

Its worth the money, its beautiful and like you said is the shell brilliantly made!

[@donkremer6019]

This already would be a great set if it was a static sculpture, but it being a 'puppet' makes it awesome.

[@PolyRocketMatt]

Thanks for doing these high-quality, subjective yet honest reviews!

[@Targetstrike]

from just2good's initial reaction about it, I was skeptical but the play features are the really cool part

[@KurryRice]

These 18+ LEGO sets are phenomenal, I was wowed the entire time putting together bowser. The Nintendo line is insanely impressive, I’m ready for the entire console line to come out too!

[@adoor3712]

If only Lego Marvel could take some notes….

[@littlejonathorn6860]

Very well done and great concept.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Agreed

[@DailyWeeklyBuilds]

One of the best looking sets of the year! I do think that the display stand, whilst a nice addition, is almost unnecessary.

[@danielkosta4253]

Impressive, the action features are very cool!

[@fatelvishguy6386]

Bowser looks great, but I wish they would have left the stand out to get it to a more reasonable price

[@TiagoCatarino]

Could not agree more. The Mystery Block from last year did fine without any "extras"

[@Dman25]

A couple years ago, I shelled out to buy an unofficial bowser set very similar to this one. I feel somewhat cheated now that there's an official version of that set, though the unofficial one is still really cool! I kinda want to get this one too just to display them side by side, and all the features have convinced me a bit more!

[@edwardn4723]

“Subscribe so I can make my money back” LOL

[@TheMarionick]

I love the end-result, but I had to suffer a lot of frustration due to pieces missing to get there. I had to improvise on the spot too often. If it wasn’t for the spare parts of my LEGO Optimus Prime, I’d be screwed. I even had to use parts from Prime’s accessoires. I never display him with them, but I shouldn’t have had to do that in the first place.

Solid review, and I totally agree that the base could have been left out of the set. I still have Bowser assembled and displayed, but I broke the base down for parts and shelf space just a month or so after building the set.

[@wings9925]

@@TiagoCatarino thanks. It was a bonanza find really, with Mighty Bowser, Galaxy Explorer, GWP Delivery Truck and an Orange evo spaceman, all for £150. Huge nostalgia value and worth at least £275 in today's UK market.

they need to make a full size bowser castle to accompany mighty bowser

[@tiny9720]

I really want it it's so cool, but like all Legos now, the price is mighty and it's harder to justify

[@KahSing82]

When they revealed NES and ? Block, i instantly know i must have it. When i first saw the reveal of bowser, i was thinking meh n why of all do i meed a giant bowser for? N after back n forth seeing videos n reviews n having a more detail view of it, gosh it’s like “i never knew i would want a giant size bowser”. Got it the second day it’s released cant wait to build it. How the structure is designed around the character organic feature just blows my mind.

[@conorsandin6555]

Great review, but as usual don’t know what your problem is with technic, it’s usually my favorite part of bigger sets like this!

[@jardex2275]

Part of the process of building Lego sets is one day taking them apart to use in custom builds, and Technic is really a pain to take apart.

Easily my favourite of the D2C Mario sets as I own an NES and CRTV so having a model of them would be odd, and just a massive cube didn’t interest me at all. This one is gorgeous and I’ve been really into buildable characters and creatures lately. Though the price here in Canada is very large (over $300) I’m still thinking of picking it up.

[@einszwedrei07]

I was really expecting this to be titled something like "A MIGHTY Lego Bowser Review" akin to "THE UNJUSTIFIABLE Justifier Review" haha

[@lopoa126]

Good looking build. Price tag going to keep most away tho. Like the Atari build, a regular toy would provide more far play value. REALLY niche market for this set given the cost.

[@TiagoCatarino]

I don't know, I feel the Atari to be way more niche that this one. Or maybe I'm the only one who finds these D2C Super Mario sets highly interesting!
