Mario Day is still in full swing, but at this point in the afternoon just about all of the excitement we are going to be getting is out in the wild now. From a plethora of Switch and Switch 2 game deals and price drops on express microSD cards for your Switch 2, to the all-new LEGO Mario Kart reveal and the release date announcement for the new Yoshi game, all of the most noteworthy and exciting Mario Day 2026 festivities await below.

Just after the reveal of the new LOTR Sauron’s Helmet set, some new SMART Star Wars LEGO builds have arrived. While the three initial LEGO Star Wars Smart Play sets with the included Smart Bricks are still up for pre-order, today LEGO has unveiled a series of new Smart Play Star Wars sets: the new AT-ST Attack on Endor at $49.99, the Millennium Falcon at $99.99, the Mos Eisley Cantina at $79.99, Luke’s Landspeeder at $39.99, and Yoda’s Hut and Jedi Training at $69.99. But there is a one not so SMART caveat to consider with these new builds. 

Update 2/16: The new LEGO Crocs are now up for pre-order directly from Crocs and over at LEGO. 

We have seen some wild Crocs crossover fashion – check the recent Animal Crossing capsule – but the new LEGO Brick Clogs might be the absolute best (worst) of all. 

Fans of the brick-built Mushroom Kingdom world are already very familiar with the LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart set. It debuted last year shortly before the new Mario Kart World landed for Switch 2, and now LEGO appears to have just teased an upcoming Luigi Mario Kart set. 

Update: LEGO has now officially revealed the new LEGO The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – The Final Battle (77093) – pre-orders now live at $129.99 ahead of March 1 release date. Official images found below.

Back in November LEGO officially teased what could only have been a brand new The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time set. Not a whole lot was known back then, outside of what we could glean from the teaser video and the 2026 release date. But, right on the heels of the new SMART Brick Star Wars kits going up for sale, it appears images and details of the new set have now leaked online. 

Just after pre-orders went live on the new LEGO SMART Brick sets, the very first official LEGO Pokémon sets have been revealed ahead of launch next month. LEGO officially teased the pocket monster collaboration for Trainers last year, and we are getting our first official look at the first sets. 

Update: The new LEGO LEGO Star Wars Smart Play sets are now available for pre-order on Amazon: Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter at $70, Red Five X-wing at $90, and the Throne Room Duel & A-Wing at $160

The new LEGO Smart Brick sets are now live for pre-order. LEGO unleashed its new Smart Play platform this year at CES 2026, and the first of the new multi-function SMART Brick sets are now live in the form of the three new Star Wars sets we featured previously. 

Update 1/9: The new LEGO Smart Brick sets are set to go live for pre-order at what appears to be 9:15 a.m.ET.

Update: The new LEGO Smart Play and its first three sets go live for pre-order on January 9 – they are officially releasing on March 1.

After a brief and relatively cryptic official teaser hit LEGO’s social feeds over the last day or so, it has now officially hit the stage at CES 2026. 

Update: Smart Play, smart bricks, smart minifigs, and three new Star Wars sets are now official – details here.

LEGO has now taken to its official social channels to tease a new upcoming launch. And by the sounds/looks of it, this might be more like a new theme and potentially even something more high-tech than your usual brick building action. 

Update: These deals are now live for everyone – no Walmart+ required.

Walmart’s early access Black Friday sale is officially kicking off, and we’re now seeing up to 50% discounts on LEGO sets as part of the event. We’re already seeing several competitor marketplaces with early Black Friday savings in gear, but tonight, Walmart joins the crowd with one of its biggest and most popular shopping events, complete with early membership access and general access info awaiting you below.

Nintendo has just taken to official X account to tease some new Legend of Zelda LEGO action. We have already got the epic Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 set previously, weighing in at 2,500 pieces, but it looks like there’s a whole lot more to come.
