Scuttlebug from Character Packs Series 3 brings classic Super Mario enemy charm to your interactive brick-built levels. This blind-bagged figure offers a quick, nostalgic build complete with a unique Action Tag that interacts with the Mario and Luigi starter courses.

This set is perfect for Super Mario theme completionists and younger builders looking for quick gratification. Assembling the 35 pieces takes just a couple of minutes, making it an instant addition to custom-built digital coin-collecting courses.

Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

Character packs from the LEGO Super Mario theme have historically shown steady appreciation after retirement, primarily driven by completionists trying to track down specific enemies. While starting from a low $4.99 MSRP, the sealed blind bags carry niche collectible appeal, though identifying the exact character inside loose or opened packs can dictate secondary market fluidity. Buyers should note that while percentage gains can look high on small blind-bag items, absolute dollar returns remain modest due to the tiny initial price point.

Compared to larger Super Mario expansion sets, the Character Packs offer a budget-friendly way to expand enemy rosters without breaking the bank. Similar to other blind-bag series like LEGO Minifigures, the primary appeal is the hunt for specific characters rather than complex building techniques.
