Nintendo and LEGO fans rejoice, because one of our favorite sets just got a major discount for Amazon Prime Day. Amazon has lowered the price of the LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426 to just $37.79 with free shipping after a 37% off instant discount. This is actually a price match of Target’s deal that kicked off over the weekend. This is the lowest price I’ve ever seen for a Mario-themed 18+ LEGO set. According to Brick Fanatics, this set will retire on July 31 alongside several other Mario sets. The news hasn’t been officially confirmed by LEGO, but Brick Fanatics is regarded to be a reliable source.

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.”
