The Lego Piranha Plant has been one of my favorites kits from the past year or so (it’s just so full of character, look at that cheerful grin) and has just taken a major price cut. As in, it’s never been cheaper.
You can grab this bricky version of a classic Mario baddie for$47.95 at Amazonrather than $60. That’s the biggest discount it’s ever had according to price-matching software, and because its previous low was around $54, there’s plenty of reason to jump in. (Unfortunately, the UK equivalent isn’t quite as good - the lowest price I can find is£42.99 at Amazoninstead of £58, which is £3 off a record discount.)
Seeing as this year’s second spate ofPrime Day Lego dealsare still a couple of days away, I surprised to see such a good offer already. Because it doesn’t ever get this cheap normally (it averages $58 most of the time), I don’t think there’s a benefit to holding out for a better offer either.

Should you buy the Lego Piranha Plant?
I’d always been very taken with how this kit looks in promo pictures, but honestly? Seeing it in person made me fall in love with it more. As well as buying one as a present for my Super Mario-loving wife, a couple of my colleagues have it themselves - and one of these Lego Piranha Plants sits next to me in the GamesRadar+ office. It’s so expressive and full of character despite being a sentient, man-eating plant.
Because it’s only made up of 540 pieces, it’s also quite straightforward to build. While fans of thebest Lego setsmight prefer something a little more involved (such as the Mighty Bowser model, which is another favorite of mine), it crams so much personality into its small size.
I don’t see it dropping in price much any time soon, either. Seeing as it’s stayed pretty static other than a few dips, I can’t see that changing in the short term. That means youshouldbe good to dive in without worrying about betterLego dealsshowing up after the fact.
