LOVED (8)

01Another chance to obtain the Nabbit minifigure
02Printed instructions instead of digital-only
03Charming shop design with effective aesthetic details
04Small toy models (plane, train, duck) are fun to build with few parts
05Nabbit's new clip hand and openable bag add role-play options
06No stickers, printed pieces instead
07A reliable way to pick up Nabbit
08Well-priced compared to other LEGO Super Mario sets

CRITICIZED (8)

01Play features are not imaginative; shopping mechanic is essentially random
02Redundant concept within Super Mario theme since 2020
03Unclear where to place this set in a course context
04Limited utility for timed courses (must complete in under 60 seconds)
05Lack of integration for Nabbit character mechanics—no penalty/theft element despite Nabbit being a known thief
06Toys in shop feel disconnected; unclear design rationale for plane, train, and duck
07Feels like leftover ideas from the wave; wave appears less cohesive than previous Super Mario waves
08Not a lot of opportunity to play with the figures or in the app

What reviewers are saying

"71429 Nabbit at Toad's Shop revisits a couple of concepts and characters from previous LEGO Super Mario sets, but also signals a potential gear shift for the theme as a whole."

Brick Fanatics

"Toad's Shop is a nice place to take a break and grab a snack, but the play features could have more imaginative outcomes."

Brickset Reviews

Ecosystem

77907 Toad's Special Hideaway — The closest in size and RRP would be the limited-edition 77907 Toad's Special Hideaway, but that fetches a high price on the secondary market.

71410 Character Packs - Series 5 — Nabbit is featured in 71410 Character Packs - Series 5 though that series was blind-boxed and has now retired.

71430 Penguin Family Snow Adventure — Those looking for another small LEGO Super Mario experience to combine with the course-building system may be better suited with 71430 Penguin Family Snow Adventure and its exclusive content at the same price.

Super Mario Bros. 3 Toad Houses — The barcode scanning mechanic recreates the three treasure chests choice from Toad Houses in Super Mario Bros. 3, but lacks the thematic depth.

Dimensional Analysis

Investment Layer

Value drivers

Brick Fanatics: Nabbit is a rare LEGO Super Mario figure that was previously only available in a blind-boxed character pack; its guaranteed inclusion here is a value driver for collectors.

Brickset Reviews: Nabbit is the primary driver for collectors who missed the Character Pack variant, but the figure is not exclusive to this set in perpetuity.

Exclusivity

Brick Fanatics: Not exclusive. Both characters are re-used from previous sets. Yellow Toad is included in 71403 Adventures with Peach and Nabbit previously featured only in the retired blind-boxed 71410 Character Pack Series 5.

Brickset Reviews: Wide retail availability; standard Super Mario theme set.

Resale

Brickset Reviews: No strong aftermarket growth expected; reviewer notes it as a potential dust collector.
