This 20% discount qualifies as the best price yet on the adorable LEGO Mario set, but it’s worth noting that it sold out quickly last time.

Since its release late last year, the Piranha Plant LEGO set has been on sale for more than a few bucks twice: once before Prime Day and once a week before Big Deal Days.
Based on one of Mario’s most famous enemies, this 540-piece Piranha Plant building set features a variety of moveable elements, such as a mount that opens and closes, and bendable vines and leaves. Located in the green pipe like in the game.
Unlike LEGO Super Mario playsets, which contain interactive play elements and simpler components, LEGO Piranha Plant is a more complex set designed for display. However, at just $60, it’s also significantly cheaper than other non-interactive game-designed LEGO Nintendo sets, such as Mighty Bowser, LEGO NES, and Super Mario 64 Question Bricks.
If you’re interested in this deal, we recommend grabbing it as soon as possible – perhaps with New Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi Pixel Art LEGO Kitlaunching today, October 1st.
The Piranha Plant is just one of the few LEGO Mario sets to receive an 18+ rating, indicating it’s more suitable for adults. The main reason for this is that the Piranha Plant is designed for display, whereas most LEGO Mario toys are playsets with interactive animatronic Mario, Luigi, and Peach characters. That said, Piranha Factory is the smallest of the LEGO Super Mario display sets, so while it’s more complex than the starter and expansion sets, it’s nowhere near as complex as Mighty Bowser, the LEGO NES, or Super Mario’s problems Block 64.
Here’s a list of all the LEGO Super Mario display sets you can buy right now, including the new Super Mario World set for $130.
LEGO also recently released its first set based on The Legend of Zelda. The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 Building Set is a 2,500-piece fun building set that features two different designs: Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild.
