Lego Mario Kart Blue Shell Kit Is a Lego Insiders Reward
Lego announced it will offer an official Mario Kart Blue Shell kit, but the only way to get it is by becoming a Lego Insider and purchasing other sets. You need 2,500 Lego Insiders Points to buy it. If you scan a QR code in a set’s instruction manual, you get 20 points, and the official page for the program says purchases made through the official store earn you 6.5 points for every $1 spent there. The Lego Mario Kart Blue Shell kit is a smaller one, as it only uses 234 bricks. Once fully built, it is 10cm (4in) tall and 10cm (4in) wide. This means it is about the right size to pair with the 22cm (8.5in) tall and 32cm (12.5in) long and Mario and standard kart set that is available for $169.99. (If that set would be purchased through Lego and you’re an Insider, that should earn you about 1,098 points.) Here’s how it and the box for the set looks. Lego didn't show it alongside the Mario and standard kart set to provide a sense of scale: Images via Lego Lego reminded us that if you buy the Mario Kart Blue Shell kit with Insider Points, you do need to actually redeem the code you get for that within 60 days. It will expire after that. Also, it will only offer them while supplies last, so it could be possible that it sells out if someone waits to claim one.
