That would be alright. Maybe if they expand to Zelda we'll get something more extravagant then.

Nintendo teasing Mario x LEGO partnership

I'm worried we might get an even worse ratio than usual with licensed themes if there's a lot of new molds. They cost thousands upon thousands of dollars to produce.
Finally!!

There's a very well done submission on LEGO Ideas currently for the Horse Stables from BOTW that has already made it to the "In Review" phase. Usually this is where license proposals that can't work get shot down, but now that LEGO x Super Mario is a thing, this actually seems like it could make it the whole way! Very exciting times. LEGO Minecraft was the first winner of LEGO Ideas and paved the way to the theme we see today.

Depends, sometimes the licensee allows for a higher sunk cost if they think it'll do high enough numbers
Yeah I saw that one, looks great.Finally!!

My dream set would be Windfall Island :)
There is a chance of that happening right now, actually. This, alongside 12 other sets, is currently in the 3rd review wave of 2019:
...but there's still a small chance that it's actually going to become an actual set. Maybe with the new Nintendo partnership it could work but I personally doubt it.
That is true.
However I think that things may not be too bad as the Lego Minions sets, which have completely new moulds for the Minions on top of being a lucrative license, are actually very well-priced. This set with 3 minions of various sizes is $49.99 for nearly 900 pieces for example. Also the Simpsons had a blind-bag run that didn't cost any extra compared to the regular blind-bags despite every single character having an entirely unique head mould.
There's also the chance that they'd do what they did with the recent Toy Story sets and forgo unique moulds (Toy Story 3 sets had them) to just make the characters in the regular Lego style, with the thing teased right now being a kind of gimmicky outlier.
Imagine a BotW Hyrule Castle setFinally!!

Which makes sense, I don't believe you can submit submissions for themes that LEGO already has a contract out on and you also can't submit an idea for a license or property that has already won previously. If I recall correctly this is why so many NASA / Apollo sets were swatted down after the Saturn V.
I can see how it's disappointing if you were one of the creators submitting Mario ideas, but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes and companies can't always be forthcoming about unreleased products, etc, especially when partnerships and licensing is involved.
WhoaFinally!!

does this come with instructions or a pieces guide?
As of now, I don't believe it does as it would only hurt the creator down the line if the set is actually optioned as a set, but if they don't win, there's usually a good chance they'll make it available through other channels themselves.
Someone probably posted this already but I'd be totally cool if that rumored new Paper Mario game turned out to be a LEGO Mario game.
I've seen some people say it's a special switch dock, but the animation is way too choppy for that (unless it was intentional, but why?)
If its not a game then scalpers from the coronavirus gonna be all over the Mario lego sets. 1000 dollar lego sets coming soon to an ebay near you. I never get excited for Nintendo non video game products because I know a bunch of people are going to scalp the hell out of it.
I don't have kids so i guess ill just have to buy this and invite kids i don;t know from the street to come and play with me
Actually, on second thoughts....

I mean i don't think a game will come out of this but a Lego Mario or Lego Nintendo as a game would sell a lot maybe more than some of multiplatform ones
Lego Xenoblade Chronicles 2
"The Pyra minifigure keeps falling over!"
For clarity, the yellow buttons next to the ?-block screen appear to be 1x1 round tiles, meaning the width of Mario's torso is about the length of the classic 2x4 brick. Mario's ears also appear to be 1x1 round tiles.
There's definitely no room for a Switch to fit in there, so the screens are very likely built in.

A Lego-themed Mario RPG would be the dream, for me, at least.
I hope that maybe this fits what Emily said about RPG Switch fans eating good, this year.

Whoops well it could be both. Perhaps a LEGO style for super Mario maker 2, or shudder, Lego Mario vs DK
I think it is both
Some are seeing a Switch screen in the tease.
For what it's worth the same site that has the list of potential sets also measured the Mario by interpolating the pre-existing blocks it's standing on, and it's way too small for a Switch, at around 7-8 cm (or 3 inches) tall. This also explains why the pixels look so huge - it's basically a macro video
My personal guess? It'll act as an interactive element of a board game, where you bonk Mario on the head and the screen in the middle rolls a dice etc.

I did some light questioning of a friend at LEGO and they said "I can't say anything but we're all really excited"
Do with that what you will

I don't see it being a case/addon/accessory/etc. for the Switch. The frame rate in the "?" animation is too low; a Switch would show a much smoother animation.
