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.
