Donkey Kong LEGO Country
LEGO and Nintendo are hoping kids go bananas this year as the LEGO Donkey Kong sets have been revealed to the public. The latest expansion to the LEGO Super Mario line features several familiar faces from the Donkey Kong Country franchise. Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and more monkeys are going to be swarming your living rooms very soon. Here’s a list of all the LEGO Donkey Kong sets you can buy on August 1.
LEGO Donkey Kong Tree House
Available for $59.99, Donkey Kong’s Tree House Expansion Set is made up of 555 pieces and is rated for eight years and up. Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong are featured. There’s the Kong Treehouse that can be built. A nice hammock will let your figures rest, while the palm trees look down upon them.
In addition, there are the familiar Donkey Konga drums, a radio, and a buildable TV. Mario, Peach, and Luigi can also ride Donkey Kong’s back if you’d like! You can preorder it here.
Diddy Kong’s Mine Cart Ride
With 1,157 pieces available for children eight years and up, Diddy Kong’s Mine Cart Ride seems like a treat. Retailing at $109.99, this set includes Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Snaggles, and a Mole Miner. You can have Mario, Luigi, or Peach ride the mine cart alongside Diddy. It will give you memories of the Mine Cart Carnage or Mine Cart Madness levels, for sure. You can create the track that the characters travel on.
Funky Kong’s shop/airplane can also be created. This interacts with your figure for “special reactions,” according to the LEGO website.
Dixie Kong’s Jungle Jam
When you’re talking about LEGO Donkey Kong, you can’t forget about Dixie! Her set is 174 pieces and costs $26.99. Children aged seven and up can play with this set. The Jungle Jam includes Dixie and Squawks the parrot. There’s actually a buildable microphone, bongos, and an amplifier. Musical sounds can be activated on this set, adding more interactivity. The stage platforms can also rotate to your liking. LEGO says there are two buildable palm trees, lighting, and flower elements to note of. Here’s a link if you want to check the set out.
Rambi the Rhino
Lastly, there’s the cute but dangerous Rambi the Rhino for the LEGO Donkey Kong set. It’s 106 pieces and will set your wallet back $10.99. It includes the character figure of Rambi, in addition to stacked rocks. There’s also a hidden banana. Mario, Peach, and Luigi can actually ride the rhino too. You can preorder it here.
