Hot Wheels and Mario Kart have been in cahoots for a while now, but this morning a new Mario Kart Rainbow Road set mysteriously appeared on Amazon without any sort of major fanfare. It’s a shame, too, because it looks extremely awesome and collectible.
The Hot Wheels Rainbow Road set comes out May 29 and includes “Mario and King Boo karts,” as well as being reconfigurable into a straight-line track.
The playset will set you back $119.99 and you can preorder it from Amazon right now. The nice thing about preordering from Amazon is you won’t get charged until the item ships, and if the price goes down after you’ve preordered, you’ll get it for the lowest price.
Sometimes Amazon will drop the price on preorder items for just a single day, or even a few hours, but as long as you preordered before the price drop, you lock in that price.
Not saying this set will have a pricedrop: it’s a Nintendo licensed product, after all. But if it does…
We’ve reached out to Mattel for more info on this set, and we’ll update the story with any new info.
