Our take
The 2027 copyright stamp suggests a strategic release aligned with the holiday season, potentially boosting sales for both brands.
Background
LEGO’s adult Super Mario line, branded as “Adults Welcome,” has released several large-scale builds such as 72037 Mario & Standard Kart and 72050 Luigi & Mach 8.
New LEGO Super Mario sets with minifigures are scheduled to launch on 1 January 2027, expanding the theme with traditional playsets like 72052 Mario's Pipe Jump and 72060 Fire Mario & Bowser's Castle.

Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. No primary source has confirmed the teaser; all three timeline events rest on reports from kotaku.com, tbreak.com, and brickfanatics.com. Neither Nintendo nor LEGO has spoken on the record about the set. A 2027 launch of new LEGO Super Mario sets remains pending.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
What happens next
January 1, 2027: New LEGO Super Mario sets with minifigures are scheduled to launch.
