The most affordable Lego Nintendo building set for adults is even more friendlier on your wallet this weekend. As part of Best Buy’s weekend doorbuster deals, the Lego Super Mario Piranha Plant is discounted to only $36 (was $60). It’s one of several Lego deals collectors should check out before the sale ends this Sunday, December 7. Amazon is matching Best Buy’s promotion, just as the retailer did when Walmart had this set for $35 in early October.
The 540-piece Piranha Plant display model has remained a consistent bestseller among Super Mario Lego sets at major retailers since its 2023 release. With the holidays just weeks away and considering how fast Lego Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals have been selling out, you may not want to wait until the last minute to grab this deal.
$36 (was $60)
Based on one of Mario’s best-known enemies, the 540-piece Piranha Plant Lego building set has multiple posable elements, including an opening/closing mouth, a bendable vine, and two leaves that can be angled in different directions. The set also comes with two (fake) coins that can be hidden inside the Piranha Plant’s mouth.
Just like in the video games, the Piranha Plant Lego set has a buildable green warp pipe as its base. This is essentially an artificial potted plant for Nintendo fans.
The completed build is 9 x 4.5 x 6.5 inches. It’s worth mentioning that the Piranha Plant is one of three Lego Mario display models that does not interact with the Mario, Luigi, and Peach figures from the Lego Super Mario starter sets. It was recently joined by the Mario Kart display model and replica Game Boy.
The Piranha Plant is one of eight Lego Nintendo models geared toward adults. Amazon has a deal on one of the other display models in the lineup. Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi, a pixel art model based on the classic Super Nintendo platformer, is on sale for $105 (was $130) at Amazon and Target. This deal was also available at Walmart, but the set is currently sold out on Walmart’s online store.
Though it’s not on sale, it’s worth mentioning that Amazon justrestocked Lego Super Mario: The Mighty Bowser for retail price. The $270 King Koopa building set is retiring this year and is sold out at most retailers. The Mighty Bowser is the largest Lego Mario set to date with 2,807 pieces. If you think you might want this Lego Mario set, it’d be wise to purchase it soon. The two other large Lego Nintendo sets that have been retired–the Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Mario 64 Question Block–routinely sell for well above MSRP.
Here’s a list of the Lego Nintendo display models released so far, including the ultra-popular Game Boy replica, which joined the Piranha Plant as the only other Lego Nintendo display model priced below $100. The 421-piece Lego Game Boy is in stock for $60 at Amazon.
The Lego Game Boy is one of two officially licensed game system models still being made today. The Lego NES and and Atari 2600 are retired, but the Lego Pac-Man Arcade is still going strong. In fact, the 2,651-piece Pac-Man Arcade is on sale for $190 (was $270) through December 7 at Amazon and Walmart.
Lego Super Mario & Mario Kart Deals

Multiple Lego Mario Kart racing sets are on sale as well. Most notably, the soon-to-be retired Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo is $23.49 (was $35) and the Wario & King Boo double pack shown above is on sale for the first time.
