Conkdor's Noggin Bopper Expansion Set

The Conkdor's Noggin Bopper Expansion Set adds a head-butting Conkdor enemy to an existing Super Mario starter course. Its 130 pieces include 74 unique parts, an unusually high proportion for an expansion set, and there's no minifigure, since Super Mario sets pair with a separate interactive figure instead.

Description

74 unique parts out of 130

This set's ratio of unique parts to total pieces stands out: 74 of the 130 pieces are different shapes, well above what's typical for an expansion set of this size. Most of that variety goes into Conkdor itself, built from specially shaped pieces for the head, body and butting mechanism rather than a handful of standard bricks repeated throughout. The full breakdown of shapes and colours is on the parts list on this page, useful if you're after a specific piece.

An expansion, not a starter

As the name suggests, this set adds to an existing Super Mario course rather than building one from scratch, giving Conkdor a head-butting interaction to add to the layout. It can be built and looked at on its own, but the interactive gameplay only comes alive when it's paired with the interactive Mario figure from a separately sold starter set, since there's no such figure included here, so the two work best as a pair rather than separately.

Tan, yellow and a touch of dark blue

Tan and yellow dominate Conkdor's body, with dark blue and light bluish grey picking out mechanical details and joints. The palette matches the character's familiar in-game look and works well alongside other Super Mario sets using similar tones, particularly ones set in caves or rocky landscapes. Dark blue in particular doesn't show up often across LEGO sets generally, making it a useful colour to have on hand for other projects once this build is finished.

A focused add-on for existing collections

For anyone who already owns a Super Mario starter set and wants to expand the course, this is a compact but clearly visible addition with its own play mechanism. The pieces are also useful for separate builds needing moving parts or unusual tan and dark blue shapes, since that particular mix isn't especially common elsewhere in the range. As a compact expansion, it also combines easily with other enemy sets to build a longer course over time.
