Insights

An Insider reward tied to a brief 2025 promotional run, Mario Kart – Spiny Shell is a brick-built Blue Shell that benefits from constrained supply and broad Nintendo crossover interest, and its lack of exclusive minifigures plus remake risk introduce volatility to long-term prospects.

Set Facts

The set is a brick-built model of the Spiny Shell power-up, known as the 'blue shell,' from the Mario Kart series.
Spiny Shell, often called the "Blue Shell," is a powerful in-game item used in the Mario Kart video game series. It automatically targets and attacks the player in first place, usually by flying over the track and detonating on impact, leveling the playing field. First introduced in Mario Kart 64 (1996), it's known for its distinctive blue color, spiny spikes, and its reputation for causing dramatic late-race turnarounds.

Jays Brick Blog

“This is a great looking set, and one that Mario Kart fans will enjoy. No one likes seeing a Blue Shell take flight and speed across the circuit to take out whomever is in first place, but it does feel good when you launch one and win a race because of it.”

Full review at jaysbrickblog.com

Brick Fanatics

“40787 Spiny Shell appears to replicate the Mario Kart item surprisingly well, complete with multiple spikes on the upper blue portion of the power-up, a curved white rim around the middle and a tan and black underside.”
