There’s a ton of mind-blowing things that came out of the Super Mario Direct.

Bionicle Day, 8/10 (810nicle), is behind us, and we’re catching up by celebrating some builds that incorporate the popular buildable figure elements from LEGO’s past. Blake Foster found inspiration to use Bionicle elements such as Macku‘s helmet and Hero Factory feet (ball and socket configuration) for the side of the hull. The standard blue LEGO Classic Space hue is an obvious homage to the 1986 LEGO Cosmic Fleet Voyager. Just don’t expect to see Benny fit into this space fighter, because it is micro-scale. After some quick research on novae, I get why Blake Foster named it “Nova Class.” It is akin to nova, the astronomical event where new stars form and explode, shining bright and slowly fading, just as Blake described how the build constantly came apart during its construction.

LEGO designers Pablo Gonzalez, Leon Pijnenburg, and Daire McCabe talks about some of the details in the set. I do like that the set is almost 1:1 scale with the real console. Graphic designer Anthony Palamaro talks about some of the decorative pieces within the set. He notes the Mario figure pixel per pixel perfect to the on screen representation and was the first element to be designed graphic first. Benjamin Ma talks about his involvement in the set by integrating the Mario figure from the Starter Course (71360) to the TV. Currently the LEGO Nintendo Entertainment System (71374) is temporarily sold out on Shop@Home and there’s no timetable of when it will be back. Hopefully it won’t be that long...
