Lego has revealed its new collaboration with Nintendo: a brick-built Piranha Plant for your desk or shelf, and it’s budget-friendly, costing less than $100. Nintendo and Lego have been partners for a while, creating Super Mario-themed sets, but this one won’t break the bank like their previous big and pricey releases, such as Bowser for $270 and the Super Mario 64 block for $170.

In the clip, you can see a Piranha Plant model, and it plays the music from Super Mario 64 when a Piranha Plant is asleep.
You can already find this item on the official Lego store website. It’s set to be released on November 6 and costs $59.99 / £57.99. This Piranha Plant set includes 540 pieces and stands 9 inches tall, making it the smallest of Lego’s adult Nintendo sets. It’s perfect as a fun centerpiece for your home or office.
This is the fourth Lego set for adults with a Nintendo theme. There was the Lego NES in 2020, a Lego Super Mario 64 block in 2021, and Lego Bowser in 2022. Lego has also made Sonic the Hedgehog sets and an Atari 2600 console. They even built a Lego Tallneck from Horizon Forbidden West.
