LEGO Super Mario set 71427, Larry's and Morton’s Airships Expansion Set, depicts the airships associated with Larry and Morton.

This model represents the flying fortresses linked to Larry and Morton in the LEGO Super Mario range. It belongs to the theme’s expansion set format, which is designed to add builds, obstacles and scenery to a broader Super Mario layout rather than to present a conventional minifigure scene.

The 1062 pieces are used for airship structures and related setting elements.

The set suits LEGO Super Mario collectors who want a substantial airship based addition, as well as builders interested in play layouts or themed display. Within the wider Super Mario theme, it is best understood as a large expansion focused on Larry and Morton’s flying fortresses.
