Nintendo teases a big LEGO Yoshi set that’s “hatching soon”

Nintendo’s teaser shows a brick-built Yoshi, not a minifigure. A rumor from fan site Hoth Bricks pegs it as a 755-piece, 18+ set, which would make it bigger than LEGO’s Piranha Plant.

Yoshi is getting the big-LEGO treatment.

Nintendo teased a new LEGO Super Mario set in its Nintendo Today app, and fan sites picked it up Monday, Nov. 9. The teaser line reads “New LEGO Super Mario Set Hatching Soon,” The Brick Fan reported. Subtle, Nintendo.

The image shows a brick-built Yoshi. ComicBook.com said only half of his face peeks into the frame, so the rest of the build is still a mystery.

This isn’t one of the small minifigure sets coming in January, ComicBook.com noted. The Brick Fan called it LEGO’s first standalone, larger-scale Yoshi display set. Vooks said it looks like one “for the adults.”

Neither Nintendo nor LEGO has shared a name, a price or a piece count.

Here’s Vooks’ first look at LEGO’s last big Yoshi build, the 2024 Super Mario World set:

How big is the LEGO Yoshi set?

Officially, nobody knows. Unofficially, there’s a rumor.

French LEGO site Hoth Bricks linked the teaser to a rumored set numbered 72059, with 755 pieces, an 18+ age mark and a European price of 69.99 euros. LEGO hasn’t confirmed any of that, so treat it as a rumor for now.

If it’s accurate, Yoshi would land a bit bigger than LEGO’s Piranha Plant. That 18+ display set had 540 pieces and cost $59.99 when it came out in November 2023, The Brothers Brick reported.

He’d still be tiny next to Mighty Bowser. ComicBook.com said that set had about 2,800 pieces and sold for about $270. Yoshi is a lighter snack.

When will the LEGO Yoshi set be revealed?

There’s no reveal date yet. My Nintendo News said details on size and pricing “have yet to be announced.”

9to5Toys pointed to reports that the copyright text on the teaser suggests a 2027 launch. Vooks wondered if it could arrive alongside LEGO’s January wave, but that’s a guess.

What LEGO Super Mario sets come out in January?

LEGO’s first Super Mario sets with real minifigures hit stores Jan. 1, 2027, Stonewars reported in August. Mario, Peach and Bowser all get minifigures for the first time, ComicBook.com noted. Here’s the lineup with U.S. prices:

• Mario’s Pipe Jump: $9.99

• Mario Kart, Racing with Mario: $14.99

• Mario’s Beach Adventures: $19.99

• Mario Kart, Luigi and Bowser Jr.’s Race: $29.99

• Fire Luigi vs. Koopa Troopa Battle: $29.99

• Yoshi at Mario’s House: $39.99

• Mario Kart, Bowser’s Rumbling Race: $59.99

• Fire Mario and Bowser’s Castle: $99.99

So if your kid wants a Yoshi and you want a Yoshi, there may be one for each of you in 2027. Peace in the household.

Where can you ride with Yoshi at Super Nintendo World?

At Epic Universe in Orlando. Yoshi’s Adventure is one of the gentlest rides in Super Nintendo World, and it has a 34-inch height requirement, Attractions Magazine reported. That makes it a good pick for younger kids who can’t do the bigger rides yet.

Riders climb aboard Yoshi-themed vehicles and wind through the Mushroom Kingdom looking for colorful Yoshi eggs, per Universal. Attractions Magazine called it family fun at a slow pace, with a short track.

The same ride also runs at Universal Studios Japan.

What was the last big LEGO Yoshi set?

LEGO Super Mario World: Mario and Yoshi came out Oct. 1, 2024, with 1,215 pieces. It’s built to look like the pixel art from the 1990 game.

Nintendo said a mechanism makes Yoshi run with Caped Mario on his back, and a dial makes Yoshi’s tongue pop in and out. It was part of LEGO’s “Adults Welcome” lineup, too.

That set put Yoshi in 16-bit form next to Mario. The new tease suggests a Yoshi who finally gets to be the star of his own box. About time. He’s been doing the heavy lifting since 1990.
