After being teased earlier this week, we’ve now got our first real look at four new Donkey Kong LEGO Adventure Playsets that provide yet another expansion to the LEGO Super Mario collection.
Each set features one or two famous members of the Kong family and has a variety of interactive components that can be used with other figures. The upcoming collection consists of the Donkey Kong Treehouse Expansion Set (£57.99 / $59.99), Diddy Kong’s Mine Cart Ride Expansion Set (£94.99 / $109.99), Dixie Kong’s Jungle Jam Expansion Set (£20 .99 / $26.99) and the smaller Rambi the Rhino Expansion Set (£8.99 / $10.99), all of which will be released August 1st.
