The 1,215-piece set includes a 16-bit Mario in a cape riding Yoshi, and what looks like a hand crank that makes Yoshi stick out his tongue. Western pricing has not yet been revealed, but local pricing suggests they’ll cost around $160 in the US.
The official reveal is likely at San Diego Comic-Con, which kicks off today, July 25. Attendees have already spotted what looks like a preview of the set at the show.
