The new Lego Mario Kart set is so much better than I was expecting it to be

Lego Mario & Standard Kart being held by a person sat at a table.

After leaks showed off the set early, we now have an official first look at a for-adults Lego Mario Kart set that - and if you ask me, it's more impressive than I'd expected.

Unveiled as part of Mario Day (March 10, or 'MAR10'), this kit will hit the tarmac on March 15 and weighs in at almost 2,000 pieces. Unlike the playsets that came out in January, this Lego Mario Kart set is an 18+ display piece that takes a similar approach to one of the best Lego sets around, The Mighty Bowser. That's because it's a lot bigger and is posable.
