Nintendo and LEGO tease a new Yoshi-themed set launching in 2027 and being part of the 18+ line, potentially highlighting a bigger model with a hefty price tag. Nintendo and LEGO have a long history of collaborating together, with a variety of sets ranging from smaller and cheaper figures to plenty of complex and expensive builds, offering something for just about everyone.

In fact, back in 2020, LEGO and Nintendo made a splash with the first Super Mario sets. The first LEGO Super Mario sets were integrated with digital features that could interact with various parts, including enemies, question blocks, and even a flag pole to represent the end of the course. Mario's eyes would react, as well as audio that featured voice lines from the original Super Mario voice actor, Charles Martinet. The sets were so successful that the collaboration between Nintendo and LEGO have continued, offering a variety of different types of sets covering many classic franchises and characters.

LEGO takes the wraps off three fully original sets scheduled to arrive in January, joining a growing list of its officially confirmed 2027 products.

Using the Nintendo Today app for mobile devices, both LEGO and Nintendo teased a brand-new set based on the Super Mario franchise. The extreme close up shows a LEGO version of Yoshi, with the green dino's large eyes and part of the snout in brick form. The extreme close up and the fact that this is an 18+ set have made many believe that this is going to be a larger model with plenty of pieces needed to assemble it in full.
