Amazon has lowered the price of the LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426 to just $35.99 after a 40% off instant discount. This happens to just barely clear the free shipping threshold for non-Prime members. The 18+ rating means that this set is relatively challenging, but I&#8217;ve built this one myself and I think it&#8217;s a great set for builders of all ages. It would make a pretty amazing gift for the holidays and, unlike many new LEGO sets, won&#8217;t cost an arm and a leg.<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">40% Off LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426<\/h2>\n<div catalogid=\"b2c0aab9-3081-4f68-adf5-8fd987359b42\" id=\"207990\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"207990\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/10\/03\/legopirahnaplant-1727976602996.gif?width=220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/10\/03\/legopirahnaplant-1727976602996.gif?width=220 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/10\/03\/legopirahnaplant-1727976602996.gif?width=220&amp;dpr=2 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>2<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The LEGO Piranha Plant measures 9&#8243; high, 4.5&#8243; wide, and 6.5&#8243; deep \u2013 about the size of a potted plant \u2013 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&#8217;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&#8217;t join in on the build.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Kevin Wong built this set for IGN and wrote, &#8220;As far as LEGO builds are concerned, the new Piranha Plant is just about perfect \u2013 vibrantly colored, well-proportioned and sized, and reasonably priced. Whether you&#8217;re new to bricks or you&#8217;re a dedicated hobbyist, this set captures that signature Mario franchise whimsy \u2013 cute but not too cute, menacing but not too menacing, and imbued with lots of personality.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">Check out the LEGO Game Boy set<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div catalogid=\"c889616c-51ba-4d1d-8968-44f013ee9cd9\" id=\"228552\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"228552\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-722342313 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"LEGO Super Mario Game Boy 72046\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/09\/29\/legogameboy-1759185069097.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/09\/29\/legogameboy-1759185069097.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/09\/29\/legogameboy-1759185069097.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">LEGO Super Mario Game Boy 72046<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3381835873 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Another LEGO x Nintendo collab that has been making waves amongst the IGN community is the new LEGO Super Mario Game Boy set. 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&#8217;s Awakening and even includes their respective lenticular screens. Seth Macy built this set and loved it.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-1339469126 jsx-1178573261 box jsx-2627838217\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
