The recently announced K'Nex sets based on Mario Kart Wii are coming to the UK later this year.

Earlier this month we reported that Nintendo had teamed up with Tomy to create a series of Mario Kart K'Nex toys to be sold in Toys 'R Us and now it has been confirmed that they are coming to the UK too.

MCV report that specialist toy shops such as Toys 'R Us and The Entertainer will stock a range of sets ahead of the release of Mario Kart 7 on the Nintendo 3DS.

The sets will vary in price depending on the content of them. A Mario or Luigi Bike Building Set will cost you �7.99 while the most expensive item will be Bowsers Castle Ultimate Set, setting fans back �99.99.

The most ardent of fans can also snap up Mario and Yoshi remote control cars from Choro-Q for �16.99 each, or together with a set of accessories for �39.99.
