### LEGO Super Mario Piranha Plant 71426
1$59.99 save 20%$47.95 at AmazonThe LEGO Piranha Plant, measuring 9" high, 4.5" wide, and 6.5" deep, is about the size of a potted plant and comprises 540 bricks. Designed for ages 18+, this set appeals to adult and experienced builders. However, its charming design is sure to captivate children of all ages, even if they're not participating in the assembly.
This set is perfect for display, featuring numerous articulation points at the head, mouth, stalk, and leaves, along with a hinged jaw, allowing for a variety of poses. A delightful Easter egg is included—a piggy bank built into the pipe, complete with two golden coins to start your savings.
IGN writer Kevin Wong, who personally assembled this set, praised it in his review, stating, "As far as LEGO builds go, the new Piranha Plant is nearly perfect – vibrantly colored, well-proportioned and sized, and reasonably priced. Whether you're a newcomer to LEGO or a dedicated enthusiast, this set encapsulates the whimsical essence of the Mario franchise – cute yet not overly so, menacing yet not overly so, and brimming with personality."
