If you’re a Mario, Donkey Kong, or Sonic fan who also happens to be a Lego enthusiast, today is your lucky day. Nearly a dozen new Lego sets have arrived featuring places and faces from the aforementioned series--ranging from tiny kits to massive builds with over 1,000 pieces that’ll take hours to complete. You can order the new sets from Amazon, Best Buy, and the Lego Store. If you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member, you'll get 10% off your order.

The Lego Super Mario Dry Bowser Castle Expansion Set is one of the most compelling new arrivals, thanks to its inclusion of quirky characters like Dry Bowser and Bone Goomba. It also clocks in at 1,321 pieces, making it one of the biggest sets in the Lego Super Mario line.

Keep in mind that any of the Lego Super Mario Expansion Sets require you to own one of the three Starter Courses (Mario, Peach, Luigi) in order to access all their cool interactive features. The Sonic sets, meanwhile, are standalone sets that can be purchased and enjoyed without any additional content.

Speaking of Sonic, fans of the Blue Blur will want to check out the Green Hill Zone Loop Challenge, which includes a bunch of minifigures and comes with a buildable launcher that can send Sonic through the iconic inverted loop.

Plenty of other Mario, Donkey Kong, and Sonic Lego sets are up for grabs, and you’ll find a list of all the new products below.
