We are great fans of the LEGO Super Mario sets here at the Rambling Brick: The sets provide the right mix of building, and digital play -mediated through an interactive brick, rather than an App. Now, just in time for Halloween, The LEGO Group have announced 3 new expansion sets tying in with the Luigi’s Mansion games: they require either the Luigi or Mario Starter sets to play and will be released on January 1 2022.
Read on for images…

These three new products will launch January 1, 2022 on www.LEGO.com and at select leading retailers around the world.
I am excited to see the extended ‘Marioverse’ being explored through LEGO Sets. Luigi has long played second fiddle to Mario, and I love the fact that he has received some further levels that he may call his own. I am unsure, looking at these early images, as to whether these levels are intended for solo or cooperative play: I’m sure we will find out a little closer to the release date.
The wording of the press release also suggests that , unlike the majority of the LEGO Super Mario Sets, these ones will only be available at “select leading retailers” as well as the LEGO Branded channels.
