Overview
- Nintendo and LEGO officially teased Donkey Kong-themed sets in late May, confirming the companies plan a collaboration beyond the Super Mario line.
- Leaked images circulating online depict a large Donkey Kong Arcade build said to contain more than 1,300 pieces and to recreate the original arcade stage.
- Reports tied to the leak identify the model as a presumed LEGO 72051 with an alleged list price of $199.99 and a possible August 1 pre-order or release window, though those claims remain unverified.
- The images and earlier leak reports describe characters listed as Jumpman, Donkey Kong, and “Lady,” plus girders, ladders, barrels and possible mechanical play features such as a barrel-drop mechanism and a joystick, all of which are unconfirmed by LEGO or Nintendo.
- The leak follows LEGO’s recent Pokémon minifig announcement and, if confirmed, would signal a broader push for nostalgic, playable builds from the LEGO–Nintendo partnership so collectors and buyers should wait for official product pages before pre-ordering.
