![]() LEGO has released quite a few strange models lately, and this one is among the strangest. Some other characters can’t really be removed from the vignettes, such as King Bob-omb, due to the way he’s constructed, the Chain Chomp, or the Iron Ball. I’ve rebuilt the assembly on Mecabricks to give a clearer view of how the parts are arranged : Here, instead of rolling, the log simply slides, thanks to a clever technique : a pair of plates 1x2 rounded (35480) are held between a 1x4 panel (15207) and a plate. The Lethal Lava Land has a few play features as well, with the ring rotating around the volcano (in the Lego model the volcano rotates as well), and a candle in Sand Yellow/ Dark Tan (6300321 | 37762), appearing for the third time only (it’s been introduced in 10276 Colosseum, and our friends over at Rebrickable have spotted it in 10291 Queer Eye: The Fab 5 Loft), that represents the log from the Red-Hot Log Rolling mission. The Cool Cool Mountain opens as well, and inside you can see the slide from the first mission, Slip Slidin' Away. I don’t have either of them so I will not be able to see what this particular barcode does. For example you can remove the front of Peach’s Castle to see the paintings that lead to the courses, as well as a barcode for Mario (or Luigi) to scan. The model contains several Easter eggs and play features. By the way the movement is really smooth, you won’t have to be afraid of catapulting Peach when you open the model. It’s a bit of a shame, since the designers found a way to have Peach’s Castle rise itself thanks to another pair of rubber bands (4544140 | 85543). ![]() I would have loved to see a way to expand the vignettes when you rotate the top panels. Once the top panel is fully rotated, unfortunately, you have to fold and unfold the courses manually. Its price on BrickLink is still quite high, so if you want a handful of these, this set might interest you. In a similar way, six Cylinder Half 2 x 4 x 5 in black (6350734 | 35313) are used to ensure the courses slide smoothly.īy the way, 71395 Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block only marks the third appearance of this element! It was first seen in a 2011 set, 20127 Diagon Alley, which contained only one, and came back in 2021 in a Friends set, 41689 Magical Ferris Wheel and Slide, which contained two. The rounded corners of the Cool, Cool Mountain and the Bob-omb Battlefield courses and the inverted tiles on the inner face of the back panel ensure the function works smoothly. ![]()
