Bowseeeeeer 💚
As soon as this was released I was told 'this was so me' so I asked for it for an early birthday present. The price per piece count was good and it was a good build. The first part seems like you're building a cabbage! 🥬 It says on the lego.com description a kid can fly it round the room. That's not happening, I didn't build it at home and had to take it on a car journey home and pieces all fell off it just driving off a curb! The greens don't seem as vibrant in real life as the instructions, box or Lego site, I was disappointed with this. It was on my bucket list to complete all mario games ever and the only game I didn't finish was mario wonder, I got stuck on the level before this boss fight so didn't recognise this set and thats why, but building it in Lego form made up for that. Loved the characters that came with it. Prince Florian and bowser jr are wonderful. I know pink Yoshi is a different build but I wish we'd had a different colour Yoshi instead. Awesome build, awesome set 👏

Another 5 stars build by Lego
My kids—ages 9, 10, and 13—had an absolute blast building this set! Our whole family are big Nintendo and Mario fans, so this was a perfect fit. I love how interactive the set is, especially since we already have the Mario & Luigi starter courses to expand the experience. The castle tower lifts off the stand and even launches a fireball, which was a huge hit. LEGO’s creativity really shines in this Super Mario collaboration—it’s one of the best sets we've had!

Easy, entertaining and ideal for sharing with chil
It is easy to assemble and is also very entertaining. I find its versatility very adequate since it adapts easily. I think the time it takes to complete depends on the person. In my case, the duration was minimal. It is safe for ages 8 to 9 years and older since it contains many very small pieces. The entertainment value is excellent, immersing you fully in it.

Super fun build AND fun finished product
This was such a fun build! My 11yo built it completely by himself in under 24 hours. (Anything that keeps him busy that long is worth it!) It has so many cool moving parts as well as a fire blaster that shoots. He was so excited to show all of us when he was done. Works perfectly with our existing sets.

Love Lego & Mario
My boys, 6 & 8, are not only obsessed with Lego, but they love Mario as well. This was a win-win product for them! We have not put it together yet, but I am 110% sure they will love the process as well as the finished product. It will look great displayed with their other Lego collections.

Five star build!
The Prince Florian & Castle Bowser set is without a doubt the coolest release of this LEGO Super Mario launch. With 1,251 pieces, it’s a build that balances complexity, creativity, and sheer fun in a way that both kids and adult collectors will appreciate. The build itself is majestic and dynamic—Castle Bowser towers impressively and can actually be lifted off its stand to transform into a flying fortress. The moving parts are clever and satisfying: raising the castle makes Bowser’s mouth shoot a fireball, while lowering it reveals secret passages and a hidden prison cell for Prince Florian. It’s one of those rare LEGO sets where the engineering feels just as magical as the final look. What really makes this set shine is the play factor. There are eight interactive tags that work seamlessly with LEGO Mario, Luigi, or Peach (sold separately), letting you recreate boss battles straight out of the games. Even without the digital characters, it’s packed with fun features that make it endlessly replayable. The minifigure lineup is fantastic: Prince Florian himself makes his LEGO debut, joined by a striking Wonder Bowser Jr., a bright Pink Yoshi, and a fiery musical Piranha Plant. These characters add personality and make the set feel like more than just a display piece. Visually, it’s a showstopper—colorful, detailed, and eye-catching on any shelf. But it isn’t just a model to look at; it’s an interactive adventure in brick form. Final Verdict: The Prince Florian & Castle Bowser set is the highlight of this launch wave—combining build quality, imaginative play, and collector-worthy detail. Whether you’re a Super Mario fan, a LEGO lover, or just want a set that delivers on every level, this is the one to grab.
