Lego Super Mario 64 Question Block
There were so many good Lego sets released this year, from the inclusivity-celebrating Everyone Is Awesome collection of rainbow-colored minifigures to the outstanding Vintage Typewriter. From a pure gaming standpoint, however, nothing topped the incredibly intricate brick engineering of the Lego Super Mario 64 Question Block. On the outside, it’s a beautiful yellow cube with rivets and white question marks. Hidden inside are several small-scale scenes from the Nintendo 64 classic, including a tiny little version of Princess Peach’s castle.
Not only is it filled with great gaming memories, but the set is also super fun to build. Watching the cube slowly take shape, fiddling with the little Mario bits. It took me a good weekend to put it all together (I’m getting slow), but it was a very good weekend indeed. Unfortunately, the $170 set is pretty hard to find right now. If you see one, snag it.
