LEGO enthusiasts, mark your calendars! While LEGO typically rolls out new sets on the first of every month, some sets just can't wait. Today, May 15, we're treated to an exciting lineup of new releases, headlined by a stunning Mario Kart set. Let's dive into the details of these fantastic new LEGO sets hitting the shelves.
LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart
Priced at $169.99, available at both the LEGO Store and Walmart, this set is a must-have for IGN readers and LEGO fans alike. Designed for the 18+ age group, this intricately detailed set is meant for display rather than play. It captures the essence of Mario Kart beautifully and is perfectly timed for release just before the launch of Mario Kart World on the upcoming Switch 2—the first truly new Mario Kart game in 11 years. Dive deeper into this set with our "We Build LEGO Mario Kart" feature, where we explore the building process tailored for Nintendo enthusiasts.
LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft
For $229.99 at the LEGO Store, you can build a stunning replica of the Boeing 747 and NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise. This set adds to the rich history of space-themed LEGO sets, which have even inspired coffee table books. It's another adult-focused set, ideal for displaying on a desk or shelf. It's a perfect gift for any space science aficionado in your life.
LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures
Available for $119.99 at the LEGO Store, this set celebrates the iconic dancing figures of artist Keith Haring. You'll construct five vibrant, boldly outlined figures that can be hung on a wall or displayed on stands on a shelf, bringing a pop of art and color into your space.
LEGO Mario Kart Spiny Shell - LEGO Insiders Rewards Center
LEGO Insiders, you can redeem this exclusive set with 2,500 Insiders points at the LEGO Insiders Rewards Center. It's a buildable version of the infamous Blue Shell from the Mario Kart series. Remember, you'll need to exchange your points for a promo code, which you can then use to add this set to your next purchase at the LEGO Store.
New LEGO Gifts With Purchase
Spend $150 or more at the LEGO Store (excluding preorders) to receive the Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut set while supplies last. This not-so-mini-figure pairs well with the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set mentioned earlier.
Additionally, spend $40 or more on Ninjago-themed sets to snag a free Mini Ninja Combo Mech set, valued at $4.99 and containing 80 pieces (set #30699).
In other exciting LEGO news, preorders are now open for the LEGO Pixar Luxo Jr., the iconic leaping lamp from the Pixar logo. And don't miss out on exploring all the biggest LEGO sets of May 2025 for more new releases to add to your collection.
