What price does the reviewer want it to be? He obviously knows lego and what goes into each model. How can he come to a conclusion that this is an expensive price for what you're getting. Very strange. " The Mighty Bowser will be released on 1 October globally, and be available exclusively from LEGO.com or your local LEGO store. We finalize Bowser’s chest using some sloped tan tiles, including a new multidirectional curved tile, which I think has been created for this set. Finally getting to Bowser we begin on his torso. The Orange Technic Beams are part of the mechanism for shooting the fire-bolt. It's already an incredibly well designed model. The kind of build that makes you wonder how anyone designed it.

When you lift the model, his legs drop, while when they are weight bearing, they fall into position, holding the model up. This is an extremely robust mechanism, which sees Bowser standing tall, regardless of how you may position the arms or head. That rumour has now been confirmed as The Mighty Bowser, who will tower over LEGO Mario and LEGO Luigi at a total of 32cm (12.5in) in height. His legs are also really nice and chunky, and again, I love how they incorporated curves so effortlessly here. Additionally, the model includes surprising articulation. While the arms appear heavy, the joints are easily strong enough to support various poses. The shoulders can rotate or move outwards, while the elbows include hinges, the wrists rotate and the thumbs are articulated. Also, the head can turn and this mechanism is actually controlled remotely using buttons on either side.

Box and Contents

Here’s The Mighty Bowser in all its glory, and boy, is it massive. As you build The Mighty Bowser, it begins to dawn on you just how crazy the scale of this set is. An enormous flame yellowish orange and trans-orange missile is concealed inside the mouth, recreating Bowser's ability to shoot fireballs. The missile launches automatically after opening the mouth to a certain point, sometimes more readily than planned! Nevertheless, the function works nicely for play, without affecting the model's appearance on display.

Ideally, there would be six spikes on each arm band, although including all six would probably complicate construction too much. Four spikes are therefore ample and the shape of Bowser's arms looks splendid, especially at the elbows. The forearms cleverly retract into the upper arms, which minimises any gaps when adjusting the elbows' positions. Today I fortunately make enough money. And what has The Lego Group gone and done? Began an AFOL line tailored to appeal directly to me. 1989 Batmobile. Voltron. Nintendo sets that remind me of the thrill of sitting and playing Super Mario Bros. as a youth. There’s a new fireball spring-loaded missile on the inside, which you can fire when you tilt his head upwards.

Pearl gold roof slopes make up over sized studs around the columns, while the dark red 2×6 tiles provide us with suitable tapestries for decoration.Gift idea for fans – This 2,807-piece LEGO® building set makes a fun birthday present, holiday gift or special treat for Super Mario™ fans. This was interesting to me, too. Kind of an oddball thing to showcase in the video, as it's pretty obvious it's not made out of minifigure pieces. I guess it was to appease Nintendo, who are strictly anti-minifigure for whatever reason?" There really isn’t much else to say about the completed look, so simply enjoy this 360 GIF of him in all his mighty glory. I read years ago that LEGO was producing one off sets to personal specifications for highly affluent customers. I can't remember where I saw the article, but it was in a magazine, and it even showed images of two such sets. They had an official looking box with iirc a seven or eight digit set number in a range I had never seen before (makes sense for one off sets of course). One set was some huge town layout with several buildings and vehicles, while the other was some large Technic type set of some construction vehicle.
