LEGO typically unveils new sets on the first of each month, but not all releases fit neatly into that schedule. Occasionally, exciting surprises drop in the middle of the month—and today is one of those days. Three brand-new LEGO sets have just launched, and they’re definitely worth a closer look. Here’s everything you need to know about the latest LEGO sets releasing on May 15.
LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart
Priced at $169.99 (available at both the LEGO Store and Walmart), this highly detailed LEGO set brings the world of Mario Kart to life. Designed for builders aged 18 and up, it offers a more complex build and is intended primarily for display rather than play. The set captures the essence of the beloved Nintendo racing game and arrives just ahead of the release of Mario Kart World—the first major new entry in the series in over a decade—coinciding with the launch of the Switch 2. For an inside look at assembling this impressive model, check out our exclusive *We Build LEGO Mario Kart* feature.
LEGO Icons Shuttle Carrier Aircraft
Space fans will love this next addition to the LEGO Icons lineup. Priced at $229.99 and available exclusively through the LEGO Store, this advanced-level set allows you to recreate the Boeing 747 carrying the NASA Space Shuttle Enterprise. Like many modern adult LEGO sets, this model is designed for display—perfect for showcasing on a shelf or desk. It's an excellent gift idea for space enthusiasts and aviation collectors alike.
LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures
Also launching today is the LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures set, priced at $119.99 through the LEGO Store. This unique build features five vibrant, stylized dancing figures inspired by the iconic artwork of Keith Haring. Once completed, the models can be displayed individually on stands or mounted on a wall for a striking visual effect.
LEGO Super Mario: Mario Kart - Spiny Shell
Available exclusively through the LEGO Insiders Rewards Center, this buildable Spiny Shell set is redeemable for 2,500 LEGO Insiders points. If you're not already a member, signing up is free. Keep in mind that once you exchange your points, you'll receive a promo code that must be used with a future purchase from the LEGO Store—so you’ll need to make a qualifying order to complete the redemption.
New LEGO Gifts With Purchase
While supplies last, customers who spend $150 or more at the LEGO Store (excluding preorders) can claim the Up-Scaled Baby Astronaut set as a free gift. This fun build complements the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft set mentioned above.
Additionally, spending $40 or more on Ninjago-themed sets unlocks the Mini Ninja Combo Mech (a $4.99 value, set #30699 with 80 pieces) absolutely free.
In other news, preorders are now live for the LEGO Pixar Luxo Jr. set—a charming recreation of the iconic Pixar lamp logo. And if you're curious about more new releases, be sure to explore the biggest LEGO sets of May 2025.
