Mario Kart – Spiny Shell revealed
Posted by Huw,
Another forthcoming gift with purchase or Insiders reward, 40787 Mario Kart – Spiny Shell, has been revealed at LEGO.com, this time in the replacement parts pages rather than in the shop.
We've no idea when it'll be available, but presumably it'll be imminently, maybe with 72037 Mario Kart - Mario & Standard Kart.

ah, the ominous Blue Shell.
Feared by all, and almost guaranteed to come on the last lap and ruin the day of any who dare be in first place.
Wonder if they'll retroactively still give it to you if you preordered the Mario Kart one already. Assuming that it'll be a free gift with purchase.
Will not be a gwp, the user with the 12th biggest collection on brickset has a chance to get one once a month.
That’s actually the perfect GWP, prove me wrong.
A really good GWP? But will it ruin the day of whoever is in the first place?
You say GWP in article, but Insiders Reward in database.
Hopefully an Insiders Reward. If a GWP it would prevent me getting 72037 on day 1!
To quote The Super Mario Bros. Movie,
"BLUE SHELL!!!!!!"
This is a cool set. Just make sure you stay out of first place. ;)

Oof, bad day to be the first comment then. Better duck!
Ah yes, the single item and rubberband AI that totally ruined the racing experience in Mario Kart 8. Nothing says "fun" like leading the whole race only to be blown sky high at the finish line and get passed by 8 people.

no, don't ever preorder if you are wanting GWP's

Better cancel the preorder and order it again
Spiny shell?
I thought it was called (insert curse word here)?
Would be funny to put it in front of people after they made a bad move during any game.
I want the blue shell set, but don't want the Mario Kart set.
Guess i'll try to snag it off of eBay or something.
They have done a good job capturing the angles.
that’s some pretty impressive shaping on it
Back to last place from 1st place.
Now that’s a GWP.
now who am I gonna throw this at

Alternately:
One shell, two shell
Red shell, blue shell
Death-on-swift-wings-comes-for-you-shell
Blood will flow, etc.
Oh for the dreamy days of there being monthly store calenders to plan your purchases by. Now we get the likes of 40787, 40767 and 40763 'announced' with secret dates, secret thresholds, and even secret countries. Pathetic. It's Children's Day in the UK next Sunday. Any sign of the cuddly GWP that Japan got a couple of weeks ago? Oh no... poke all... same as last week.
Hate these things in Mariokart! Where's the MK speaker to blast it away? :)
