While some fans are undoubtedly upset to see some of these sets being discontinued, it’s far from the end of the partnership between Nintendo and LEGO.Mario KartandAnimal Crossingare both getting new LEGO sets that will begin releasing in 2025.Mario Kartwill see six LEGO setsthat will all launch on January 1, whileAnimal Crossingwill get three. It’s not the only collaboration that Nintendo will have a part in, either, asLego Horizon Adventuresis launching on the Nintendo Switch in November. It’s an unusual choice, as all the priorHorizongames have been exclusive to PC and PlayStation platforms.
Withnew LEGO collectionscoming out all the time, there’s a constant process of culling older sets and introducing new ones. Fans who haven’t picked up the Nintendo sets about to be discontinued should consider picking them up before it’s too late. At that point, the only option will probably be to buy them from resellers, who tend to mark up the prices with the knowledge that there’s a limited supply available for sale.
