Description

Two Koopalings, two ships

Larry and Morton are recurring bosses from the Super Mario games, and this expansion set gives each of them a dedicated airship build. The two models can be assembled side by side or combined with other expansion sets into a bigger fleet. At 1,062 pieces, the build is noticeably larger than most expansion sets in the range, and it includes moving parts such as sails, cannons and drop-down ramps. For anyone recreating Super Mario levels at home, these two ships slot neatly into a longer course.

A desert-wood colour scheme

The build leans on tan and reddish brown for the hulls and decking, with white and light bluish grey picking out sails, metal fittings and rigging. Together they read as weathered wooden ships drifting through a desert sky, matching the look of Super Mario's sandy levels. With 395 unique parts, there's a fair variety of pieces to work through, from angled bricks that shape the hulls to tiles for smooth decking and a handful of specialised sail and rigging elements. The full parts list on this page breaks down exactly which colours and shapes are included.

Expansion set, not a standalone toy

71427 is labelled an expansion set, which means it only works alongside a LEGO® Super Mario starter set that includes the interactive Mario or Luigi figure with screen. No minifigures or character figures come in the box; instead, the set focuses on mechanisms such as catapults, hatches and moving cannons that react to gameplay. Worth checking before buying if a starter set is already on hand. Without one, the build still stands on its own as a display model.

395 parts to reuse

Beyond the instructions, the 395 unique elements in 71427 offer decent raw material for other builds, from small boats to wooden-style platforms and props. The parts list on this page records every element with its colour and quantity, making it easy to search for a specific piece if something is missing or needed for another project. For Super Mario fans, the set is a visual match for the game's desert and sky sections, and it noticeably grows the parts bin.
