Nintendo and LEGO fans rejoice, because one of our favorite sets just got a major discount. Amazon has lowered the price of the LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426 to just $41.99 with free shipping after a 30% off instant discount. The 18+ rating means this is relatively challenging build, but having built it myself, and I think it’s a great set for builders of all ages with a little bit of guidance. It also happens to be the most affordable Mario-themed 18+ LEGO set you can get.

The LEGO Piranha Plant measures 9″ high, 4.5″ wide, and 6.5″ deep – about the size of a potted plant – and consists of 540 bricks. The Piranha Plant makes for a fantastic display; it has numerous articulation points located at the head, mouth, stalk, and each of its leaves, and the jaw is also hinged, all of which allow for myriad customizable poses. There’s even a cool little easter egg: A piggy bank is built into the pipe with two golden coins included to get you started on your stash. Despite the small brick count, this set is intended for ages 18+, so novice builders may need guidance. Once completed however, this adorable looking set is sure to be a hit with people of all ages, even if they didn’t join in on the build.
Kevin Wong built this set for IGN and wrote, “As far as LEGO builds are concerned, the new Piranha Plant is just about perfect – vibrantly colored, well-proportioned and sized, and reasonably priced. Whether you’re new to bricks or you’re a dedicated hobbyist, this set captures that signature Mario franchise whimsy – cute but not too cute, menacing but not too menacing, and imbued with lots of personality.”

Another excellent LEGO x Nintendo collab is the LEGO Super Mario Game Boy 72046. This is a near 1:1 replica of the original Game Boy released back in 1989. The set comes with two game cartridges: Super Mario Land and The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening and even includes their respective lenticular screens. Seth Macy built this set and loved it.
