We get today via a New Zealand Certified Store the official visuals of the LEGO Super Mario set 71424 Donkey Kong's Tree House, one of the extensions based on the Donkey Kong universe that will complete the already very bulky playset made up of the boxes already marketed in this range.

In the box of 555 pieces, enough to assemble the extension of the game board and two of the characters revealed in the latest teaser: Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong.

This product being an extension, the digital features integrated into the playset will only be usable via one of the three interactive figurines of Mario, Luigi or Peach already available in the sets. 71360 Adventures with Mario, 71387 Adventures with Luigi ou 71403 Adventures with Peach, LEGO not having seen fit to offer us a Donkey Kong figurine with the same features.

Availability scheduled for August 1, 2023, the retail price in France should be €59.99. This product is not yet online on the official online store.

Amazon today timidly opens hostilities before the start of the annual May the 4th commercial operation with a first flash sale which concerns a few boxes from the LEGO Star Wars range.

Nothing crazy in the selection offered, but it is possible that other more attractive references will be added to the selection in the coming days and that the offer will evolve.

Legislation obliges, the percentage of reduction displayed on the sheets of each of the products concerned by the offer is based on the lowest recent price, which is already well below the price charged by LEGO, and not on the usual public price.

We now know the (meagre) selection of sets from the LEGO Star Wars range that will benefit from VIP X5 points in the LEGO Stores from May 1 to 7, 2023 during the annual May the 4th commercial operation.

This offer only concerns five boxes and it will obviously not be combined with the doubling of points offered on the rest of the products in the range. On the other hand, it will allow you to take advantage of other offers subject to purchase depending on the amount spent.

To put it simply, you will therefore obtain five times more VIP points than in normal times for the purchase of one or more of these sets, these points will be credited to your account and you can use them later, at the occasion of a new purchase in Store or online to obtain a reduction or benefit from a reward that you will have previously "purchased" in exchange for points.

To make it even simpler, these X5 VIP points actually correspond to a credit of 25% of the public price of the product on your VIP account in the form of a credit note for a subsequent purchase.

The announcement of the day is the arrival of the LEGO Bricktales video game on the platforms Apple iOS et Google Play (Android) where you have to spend the modest sum of 5.99 € to be able to enjoy this game in which you have to solve different puzzles by building things brick by brick through five different biomes.

To celebrate all this, LEGO offers via the Pick and Build service three packs of parts allowing to assemble machines or objects seen in the game, just to materialize the experience with a choice of a car, a throne and a market stall. . Two other packs were planned, a gyrocopter and a raft but they do not appear on the dedicated page for the moment.

A little teasing never hurts, LEGO today unveils some of the characters that will accompany Donkey Kong in the sets planned to reinforce the already very prolific LEGO Super Mario range.

The latest rumors suggest a good half-dozen boxes (references 71420 to 71427) planned for summer 2023 in the LEGO Super Mario range and the teaser posted online today by LEGO confirms that Cranky Kong, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong and Dixie Kong will also be featured alongside Donkey Kong in several of these boxes, all in the form of buildable figures. I doubt that the five figures all come in the same set because of the mention "each set sold separately" present at the end of the teaser, but you never know...
