Nintendo and The Lego Group collaboration attracts attention again after a leaked image circulating on Reddit suggests a premium Lego Donkey Kong set is coming.
Nintendo teased a Donkey Kong-themed set last month via the Nintendo Today app, and the latest online image — shared on the Legoleak subreddit — purports to show a model based on the classic Donkey Kong arcade game.
The leaked photo reportedly lists the set as containing 1,367 pieces, carrying a suggested retail price of $200 USD and indicating an August release window.
These specifics remain unconfirmed by Nintendo or The Lego Group; they are presented here as reported claims from a circulating image rather than official announcements.
Donkey Kong has a long history with Nintendo.
The original Donkey Kong arcade game was released by Nintendo in 1981 and introduced characters that became staples of Nintendo’s roster.
The potential Lego set being tied to the Donkey Kong arcade game would align with both companies’ use of retro franchises for premium collectibles.
Lego’s partnership with Nintendo has been active since the launch of the LEGO Super Mario line, which began in 2020 and blends physical brick sets with interactive technology.
Lego has previously incorporated Donkey Kong characters into its Super Mario line with smaller sets featuring series-adjacent characters, and this latest leak would represent a larger, premium entry if confirmed.
Online reaction has been enthusiastic.
Fans condensed their excitement into catchphrases and shorthand across social channels; one common reaction captured the moment by invoking the phrase "it's on like Donkey Kong," reflecting broad interest in a potential high-profile tie-in between Lego and Nintendo.
This alleged Donkey Kong set leak also arrives amid a busy period for The Lego Group, which recently revealed multiple new Pokémon-themed sets.
For now, official confirmation — including exact release dates, pricing, and piece counts — must come from Lego or Nintendo.
Readers should watch official channels such as the Nintendo Today app, Nintendo Direct presentations, and The Lego Group announcements for verified information.
If confirmed, a premium Donkey Kong Lego set would be another notable milestone in the ongoing crossovers between Nintendo IP and Lego, joining the LEGO Super Mario ecosystem and expanding collectible options for Nintendo fans and brick builders alike.
