I like LEGO, I like video games, and I LIKE PLANT!
Not gonna lie, if there’s a Venn diagram built almost perfectly for me it’d be this latest project from LEGO, a Super Mario Bros Piranha Plant. I guess the only other circle to add in would be cars, so a LEGO Mario Kart Petey Piranha would probably put me over, but this is GOOD ENOUGH. LEGO and Nintendo have revealed the next build set for adults, which is what I call myself, and it’s the famed bitey flora that lives in pipes.
LEGO’s plant build collection has been extremely popular, because, well, who doesn’t like having greenery in their home? So the addition of this dude is absolutely grand. The set is made from 540 pieces and includes a fully poseable piranha plant complete with a pipe. The mouth looks vicious and ready to snap, and there’s even a slot built for gold coins! It stands at just over 9 inches in height, so it’s big enough to set on a shelf without taking it over. And it doesn’t need water!
What a delight!
Perhaps what’s also pretty great is that the price for the set is just $59.99. That’s relatively low for some of the other big sets that have come out in the Marioverse. The LEGO Super Mario Bros Piranha Plant (71426) arrives on November 6, 2023, and is available for preorder now.
