LEGO often sticks to a predictable schedule, releasing most of its new sets on the first of each month. However, some sets break the mold and arrive whenever they're ready. Today, May 15, marks the release of three exciting new sets, with a standout Mario Kart set leading the way. Let’s dive into the LEGO sets launching on this date.
LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart
Priced at $169.99 at both the LEGO Store and Walmart, the LEGO Mario Kart: Mario & Standard Kart set is a must-have for IGN readers. Designed for builders aged 18+, this set is perfect for display rather than play. It captures the essence of Mario Kart beautifully and arrives just in time for the buzz around the upcoming Mario Kart World, the first new Mario Kart game in 11 years, set to launch with the Switch 2.

Aimed at adult collectors, it's meant for display on a desk or shelf and would be an excellent gift for any space science aficionado.
LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures
Priced at $119.99 at the LEGO Store, the LEGO Art: Keith Haring – Dancing Figures set brings to life the iconic dancing figures of artist Keith Haring. You can construct five vibrant, boldly outlined figures, which can be displayed either on a wall or on stands on a shelf.
