Sets with own characters, but also combination with electronic game figures possible
All sets come with their own assembled little Lego character
The sets have no electronic components, but are designed to offer interactive play functions. This means that they can be combined with the electronic figures of Mario, Luigi and Peach. When these are placed in the cars, Mario Kart elements will sound, such as the "Wroooommmm" when the race starts or the loud "Mööööp" when the horn honks.
What do you think of the new Lego sets? Will you buy one of them? Let me know in the comments.
