LEGO has officially announced the upcoming release of a special Spiny Shell set, popularly known to Mario Kart fans as the infamous Blue Shell, as part of its ongoing Mario Kart themed LEGO collection.
This latest addition will be made available as an exclusive reward for LEGO Insiders, further expanding the collaborative partnership between the LEGO Group and Nintendo—a synergy that continues to delight fans of both brands.
The new Mario Kart Spiny Shell set is slated to be released on May 15, 2035.
This date coincides with the official launch of the highly anticipated Mario & Standard Kart set, both of which will be accessible through the LEGO Insiders rewards program.
The Spiny Shell, a central icon in Mario Kart gameplay for its ability to disrupt the race leader, is a fitting addition for collectors eager to complete their LEGO Mario Kart lineup.
Access to the LEGO Mario Kart Spiny Shell set is reserved for LEGO Insiders members.
To redeem it, participants must accumulate 2,500 reward points, which equates to spending a minimum of USD$385 through official LEGO Store purchases.
For reference, fans who purchase the newly unveiled Mario & Standard Kart set—retailing at USD$249.99—will gain a substantial portion of the required points, making the Spiny Shell set a reasonably attainable reward for dedicated buyers.
In a statement provided by LEGO, the company highlighted their commitment to “offering creative, memorable experiences for both LEGO enthusiasts and Nintendo fans alike.” By leveraging their acclaimed LEGO Insiders program, the initiative aims to not only celebrate Mario Kart’s enduring popularity but also reward loyal customers with unique, collectible items.
This release marks the latest expansion in LEGO’s Mario Kart portfolio, following previous success with Super Mario sets for the Nintendo Switch audience and beyond.
LEGO’s focus on interactive, nostalgia-driven experiences continues to resonate strongly with fans of Nintendo’s iconic franchises.
Interested collectors and Mario Kart aficionados will find the exclusive Spiny Shell set available only through the LEGO Insiders platform, with availability beginning on May 15, 2035.
As with previous exclusives, demand is expected to be high, so participants are encouraged to accumulate the requisite reward points in advance to secure their set before supplies are exhausted.
Both the Mario & Standard Kart set and the Spiny Shell reward set reflect LEGO and Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to celebrating gaming history with high-quality, authentic merchandise.
These additions offer fans and collectors new ways to engage with the legendary Mario Kart series, ensuring its legacy continues across both digital and physical play spaces.
