New LEGO Mario Kart Sets Launch May 15

LEGO enthusiasts, mark your calendars! While most new sets hit the shelves on the first of each month, some can’t wait and release whenever they feel like it. Today, May 15, brings us three exciting new sets, with a Mario Kart set leading the charge. Let’s dive into the LEGO sets you can get your hands on today.

LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart

Priced at $169.99 at both the LEGO Store and Walmart, this set is a must-have for IGN readers. Designed for the 18+ age group, this advanced build is perfect for display rather than play. The set captures the essence of Mario Kart beautifully and arrives just in time for the excitement surrounding the upcoming Mario Kart World on the Switch 2—the first truly new Mario Kart game in 11 years. For a detailed look at what goes into building this set, check out our "We Build LEGO Mario Kart" feature, which is a treat for any Nintendo fan.

LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft

Available for $229.99 at the LEGO Store, this set continues the tradition of space-themed LEGO creations. You can build a detailed model of the Boeing 747 and the NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise. This set, aimed at adults, is perfect for displaying on a desk or shelf and would make an excellent gift for any space science enthusiast.

LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures

Also released on May 15, this set celebrates the iconic dancing figures of artist Keith Haring. Priced at $119.99 at the LEGO Store, you can build five vibrant figures that can be hung on a wall or displayed on stands on a shelf.

LEGO Mario Kart Spiny Shell - LEGO Insiders Rewards Center

Available through the LEGO Insiders Rewards Center, this set is a must for fans of the Mario Kart series. If you’re a LEGO Insider (sign up for free here), you can redeem this set with 2,500 Insiders points. It’s a buildable version of the infamous Blue Shell power-up. Remember, you’ll need to make a purchase at the LEGO Store to redeem the promo code you get in exchange for your points.

New LEGO Gifts With Purchase

While supplies last, spend $150 or more at the LEGO Store (excluding preorders) to receive the Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut set, which complements the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set. For those interested in Ninjago, spend $40 or more on Ninjago-themed sets to get the Mini Ninja Combo Mech set (valued at $4.99, set #30699, 80 pieces) for free.

In other news, preorders are now open for the LEGO Pixar Luxo Jr., the iconic leaping lamp from the Pixar logo. And if you’re looking for more new releases, don’t miss out on the biggest LEGO sets of May 2025.
