Lego Princess Peach sets revealed, including her iconic castle

A Lego Princess Peach expansion has been announced for the Lego Super Mario range, and it'll hit shelves on August 1, 2022.

Unveiled as part of Mario Day, this reveal confirms yesterday's accidental leak (spotted by JaysBrickBlog and reported on by Eurogamer) where the company showed off Lego Princess Peach on Instagram before hurriedly taking the post down again. However, the full unveiling contains more sets than expected - seven new Lego Super Mario sets are due to launch in August. That includes Peach's Castle and 'Yoshi's Gift House' as it appeared in Super Mario World on the SNES.

Much like the Mario and Luigi packs before her, Lego Peach is an interactive figure available via a self-contained starter set that features its own DIY course. It also comes with red Lego fruit that trigger "happy reactions" from Peach alongside classic villain Lemmy. The kit will set you back $59.99 from Lego's official store.

Other standouts are Big Spike’s Cloudtop Challenge (which introduces a previously unseen sky level) and a Cat Peach pack with the broomstick-riding Kamek.

Naturally, Lego Peach's Castle is the largest kit of the bunch; it consists of 1,216 pieces, contains five figures, and costs $129.99.

Since arriving in 2020, the Mario Lego range has welcomed some of the best Lego sets with dozens of expansions to its name. Indeed, Lego Luigi joined the fray last year with Luigi's Mansion-themed kits. Because both brothers can interact with one another, it'll be interesting to see what Peach will say to them - if anything.

Lego Peach looks like it'll make a great gift for gamers, but if you don't want to wait that long, it's worth dropping in on our Nintendo Switch gifts page. You can also spruce up your setup with the best
