EB Games Has The Super Mario LEGO Set With A Different Preorder Bonus

Nintendo and LEGO lifted the lid off the Super Mario LEGO Starter Kit as well as the first two expansions last week. 

Preordering on the official LEGO store would get you the Starter Kit along with a free Super Mushroom + Monty Mole expansion kit for $89.99, but that sold out within a day.

EB Games has today put up the Super Mario LEGO Starter Kit for $89.99 with a Super Mushroom Surprise Polybag Expansion. It’s weird, because despite it having the same name as the other expansion kit, it looks to have different pieces. The EB Games version has a ? block and water, whereas the LEGO version (which looks more like an expansion kit does not).

You can grab it from EB Games right HERE. It comes out on August 1st and it’s expected that the pre-order bonus will likely sell out.
