Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant drops to its best price yet at Amazon

With Prime Big Deal Days just around the corner, we’re sure to see some great deals on Lego sets in the coming week. One of the hottest Lego deals from Walmart’s big July sale and Amazon Prime Day has even returned as an early deal. The Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant is discounted to just $48 at Amazon and Walmart. This 20% discount represents the best price yet for the adorable Lego Mario set, but it’s worth noting that it sold out quickly last time.

$48 (was $60)

Since its release late last year, the Piranha Plant Lego set has gone on sale for more than a few dollars exactly twice: in the lead-up to Prime Day and now, a week before Big Deal Days.

Based on one of Mario’s most famous enemies, the 540-piece Piranha Plant building set features posable elements (such as an opening and closing support and a bendable vine and leaves) and sits in a green pipe, just like in the games. .

Unlike Lego Super Mario playsets that feature interactive gameplay elements and simpler pieces, the Lego Piranha Plant is a more complex set intended for display. However, at just $60, it’s also much more affordable than other Lego Nintendo sets that aren’t designed for interactive play, such as Mighty Bowser, the Lego NES, and the Super Mario 64 Question Block.

If you are interested in this deal, we recommend that you close it as soon as possible, perhaps next to the new Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi pixel art Lego kitwhich was launched today, October 1st.

The Piranha Plant is just one of the few Lego Mario sets rated 18+, indicating that it is geared more towards adults. The main reason for this is that the Piranha Plant is designed for display, while most Lego Mario builds are playsets that interact with the electronic Mario, Luigi and Peach figures. That said, the Piranha Plant is the smallest of the Lego Super Mario display sets, so while it’s more complex than the starter courses and expansion sets, it’s not nearly as complicated as Mighty Bowser, the Lego NES, or Question Block from Super Mario. 64.

Here’s a list of all the Lego Super Mario display sets you can buy right now, including the new Super Mario World pack for $130.

Lego also recently released its first set based on The Legend of Zelda. The 2500-piece Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 building set is an extremely fun building set with two different designs: Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild.
