The best Lego Mario sets to buy in 2025

The Bowser Express Train

the most creative Mario set

You might remember this train from Super Mario 3D World from the level the Bowser Express… hey, I suppose it does what it says on the tin, or rather, what it says on the train?

This set is one of the larger builds, with a piece count of 1,392 pieces. Not only is the train incredibly detailed, looking just like it does in the game, but it has interactive elements like a spinning platform and spring-loaded shooter. Not only do you get the train in all its fiery glory, but you get a handcar, which you can hook onto the back of the train, and 2 train stations.

It even has six of our all-time favourite villainous characters, after all, villains need to get from A to B too! You get buildable versions of; Hammer bro, Boom Boom, 2 Para-Biddybuds, and of course, two Goombas, each with little hats! The expressions on the Goombas are priceless.
