Five star build!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Prince Florian & Castle Bowser set is without a doubt the coolest release of this LEGO Super Mario launch. With 1,251 pieces, it’s a build that balances complexity, creativity, and sheer fun in a way that both kids and adult collectors will appreciate.
The build itself is majestic and dynamic—Castle Bowser towers impressively and can actually be lifted off its stand to transform into a flying fortress. The moving parts are clever and satisfying: raising the castle makes Bowser’s mouth shoot a fireball, while lowering it reveals secret passages and a hidden prison cell for Prince Florian. It’s one of those rare LEGO sets where the engineering feels just as magical as the final look.
What really makes this set shine is the play factor. There are eight interactive tags that work seamlessly with LEGO Mario, Luigi, or Peach (sold separately), letting you recreate boss battles straight out of the games. Even without the digital characters, it’s packed with fun features that make it endlessly replayable.
The minifigure lineup is fantastic: Prince Florian himself makes his LEGO debut, joined by a striking Wonder Bowser Jr., a bright Pink Yoshi, and a fiery musical Piranha Plant. These characters add personality and make the set feel like more than just a display piece.
Visually, it’s a showstopper—colorful, detailed, and eye-catching on any shelf. But it isn’t just a model to look at; it’s an interactive adventure in brick form.
Final Verdict:
The Prince Florian & Castle Bowser set is the highlight of this launch wave—combining build quality, imaginative play, and collector-worthy detail. Whether you’re a Super Mario fan, a LEGO lover, or just want a set that delivers on every level, this is the one to grab.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaged nicely. It was pretty easy to build with the step-by-step instructions. Had a blast building this. All the pieces are interactive and things on Bowser move. The top piece comes off as a weapon that shoots out a cool piece. Wish I could have added more photos. Absolutely recommended!! Awesome addition to the Super Mario collection. Also may have started a new addiction for me!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We got this and immediately pulled it out of the box to get started! We are having a blast putting it together. This is such a cool set from the Mario collection. The instructions are very easy to follow and it’s securing right away as we put it together. My son can’t wait to display it in his room when it’s finished! The set comes with a ton of pieces and is a rewarding challenge to put together.

Will keep my boy busy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was THRILLED when I noticed there were Mario options for the Lego sets. My nephew could build his Lego’s all day long, and he doesn’t have this set. Surprisingly, I haven’t seen this set in stores. I can already see his face lighting up when I get this set to him today. His current Lego sets he owns are stimulating and allow him to build something he’s so proud of afterwards.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son loved putting it together. It was very entertaining to help him put it together. It's very fun and easy to follow the instructions. The material is very resistant and each piece fits together to ensure its durability. My son loved it. He put it on his toy shelf.
