Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block Lego Set

Nintendo announced the upcoming release of their Super Mario 64 themed, question mark block LEGO set. It has features one of Super Mario 64’s first level Bob-omb Battlefield which is without a doubt one of the most nostalgic levels and has been used a lot in Nintendo merchandise and level remakes. This gives fans a chance to head down memory lane, with not just nostalgia for Super Mario 64 but also for Lego, as it’s something that has been passed down generations. It’s been 25 years since the original launch and of Super Mario 64 and this is the perfect way to celebrate.

This lego kit includes Peach’s castle, bob-omb Battlefield, cool, cool mountain and Lethal lava trouble as well as 10 micro figures of memorable characters. I suppose that leaves you wondering what you can do with the little kit, so far Nintendo has said “For interactive play, add a LEGO Mario or LEGO Luigi figure from the 71360/71387 Starter Courses (sold separately) and collect 10 hidden Power Stars to reveal secret reactions and more.”

Limitless possibilities
The LEGO Super Mario range includes Starter Courses, Expansion Sets and Power-Up Packs, allowing builders to expand, rebuild and create unique levels.

“Pay tribute to the classic Super Mario 64™ video game in LEGO® style with this brick-built version of the ? Block (71395) for display and interactive play.”

“Includes 10 LEGO® Super Mario™ microfigures: Mario, Yoshi, Princess Peach, and King Bob-omb, as well as a Chain Chomp, Big Bully, Mr. I, Lakitu, penguin and baby penguin.”

“The ? Block measures over 7 in. (18cm) high, wide and deep, and opens to reveal 4 detailed Super Mario 64™ levels: Peach’s Castle, Bob-omb Battlefield, Cool, Cool Mountain and Lethal Lava Trouble.”

“For interactive play, add the LEGO® Mario™ or LEGO® Luigi™ figure from the 71360/71387 Starter Courses (sold separately) and collect 10 hidden Power Stars to reveal secret reactions and more.”

“This collectible, 2,064-piece LEGO® building set makes a cool birthday present, holiday gift or surprise treat for fans of Super Mario 64™, gamers and lovers of all things retro.”

“Step-by-step instructions are included with this set so even a LEGO® Super Mario™ fan who is a newcomer to LEGO sets can build with confidence and enjoy the process.”

“This LEGO® Super Mario™ set is part of a collection of premium-quality LEGO building kits designed for adults who enjoy fun, creative, DIY projects.”

“LEGO® components comply with rigorous industry quality standards, meaning that they connect simply and securely for robust builds.”

“LEGO® building bricks and pieces are tested in almost every way imaginable to make sure that they meet demanding global safety standards.”

This is certainly a fun item for kids and adults to play around with or admire, let’s hope the scalpers don’t get their hands on too many of them and ruin the fun for everyone else.

Super Mario Bros: Another Game Auction World Record Has Been Broken

The Super Mario Bros cartridge sold on collectors site Rally for double the amount of the previous world record…

If you have been following this blog for a while, you will know that there have already been three record-breakers when it comes to unopened video game cartridges sold at auction in the past year: Super Mario Bros NES, Legend of Zelda NES, and Super Mario 64.

And now, another video game cartridge has just taken first place.

The unopened Super Mario Bros 1985 cartridge was sold for $2 million, which knocks the previous record-breaker, Super Mario 64, which sold for $1.56 million, right off the top spot.

Unlike previous auctions that were held on Heritage Auction, the collectables site Rally has a different system in which the site buys items and invites people to invest in shares of those items. When an offer comes in, investors can either decide to vote or hold.

The Nintendo classic was originally bought for $140,000 in April 2020. Over 3000 shares were offered to investors for the Super Mario Bros cartridge at a total value of $150,000 in August 2020. The investors stuck to their guns and knew how profitable the game would be and even passed on a $300,000 offer that was made in the same year.

It was also reported by The New York Times that a graduate student invested in the game with $100 and made a $950 profit.

With gaming collectables becoming more popular and more expensive, it might not be surprising to hear about another record-breaking auction sale so soon…

Super Mario 64 Breaks Video Game Auction Record

Emma Regan — Mon, 12 Jul 2021 10:05:07 +0000

If you follow our blog religiously (you should, you can easily subscribe to our newsletter from the website if that’s easier for you), then you would be aware we covered a story about an NES The Legend of Zelda Cartridge on auction for $110,00 at the time of writing.

Since then, it has broken the auction record for the most expensive video game collectable sold to be then toppled two days later.

Super Mario 64 takes Zelda’s Crown

On Friday, a rare sealed copy of The Legend Of Zelda cartridge from 1987 shattered the previous record of the most expensive video game collectable sold at auction, selling at the grand total of $870,000 (£627,274). The previous belonged to Super Mario Bros which sold at auction in April at $660,000 (£476,240).

It was true history in the making, with Valarie McLeckie, Heritage Auctions‘ video game specialist, stating they had high expectations for the game, and the reality of the bidding exceeded their version of how it would play out.

Yet on Sunday, only two days later, an opened copy of Super Mario 64, managed to break that record, selling at an astronomical price of $1.56 million (£1.12 million).

The N64 cartridge received a rating of Wata 9.8 A++ rating, 0.8 more than the Zelda cartridge and the highest possible rating there is. Heritage Auctions stated, “the cultural significance of this title and its importance to the history of video games is paramount, and the condition of this copy is just so breathtaking that we’re really at a loss here,” and that it was “an opportunity not to waste.”

And it surely didn’t go to waste, with the auction making $690,000 more than The Legend of Zelda auction on Friday.
