Remember those yellow plates I mentioned? I finally got to put those to work, along with that big вЂol punctuation symbol.

Unlike the stable bottom of this cube in the making, the face was both something familiar and mechanical. Moving onward, I went from the base of the block to what would end up its frontmost face. WeвЂ™ll call this the honeymoon stage of the build - but where things got interesting was in the next couple of bags. Anytime I came across studs facing a reverse angle or pieces that looked like theyвЂ™d lead to some kind of movement or unique feature, I caught myself wondering what would come next. It may not have been the flashiest part of the experience, but I couldnвЂ™t help but get sucked back in by the double dose of nostalgia. Things began with the blockвЂ™s foundation. After reading through the bookletвЂ™s introduction - including some history and facts about Mario 64 as well as insight from the setвЂ™s designers - I opened up the first of those bags and got to work. Scanning those bags in order, it seemed pretty clear where the вЂњworldsвЂќ were, and there were an abundance of yellow plates throughout. Opening the box, I was greeted by nearly two dozen bags of bricks (some numbers repeat, or have smaller bags inside) and one of the thickest set of instructions IвЂ™ve dealt with. The real question, then, is this: does it succeed as a build? Now that IвЂ™ve had the chance to take this set on and piece together some thoughts, I can comfortably say that it definitely succeeds as a tribute. The recently released Lego Super Mario 64 Question Mark Block has an intriguing idea behind it, that being to take a familiar Mario element and use that as a means to celebrate one of the greatest and most beloved games of all-time. Seeing the Super Mario line of sets grow has been a treat, but it was the big yellow cube that really caught my eye. Building sets and thinking up original ideas for these colorful bricks were cornerstones of my childhood, and something IвЂ™ve kept a fondness for even as IвЂ™ve grown. This is definitely a priority buy for LEGO, Nintendo, and Super Mario fans/collectors.Before I discovered a love of games, my go-to means of entertainment were Lego.
