LEGO enthusiasts, get ready! While most new LEGO sets hit the shelves on the first of each month, some exciting releases just can't wait. Today, May 15, marks the launch of three standout sets, with a Mario Kart set leading the charge. Let's dive into the details of these fantastic new LEGO sets.
LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart
