Super Mario World Lego Set Is Discounted At Amazon, But Probably Not For Long
Lego's awesome Super Mario World building set is available for a discounted price at Amazon. Normally $130, the 1,215-piece pixelated model of Mario and Yoshi is available for $117.52. The caveat here is that the set ships from Amazon Japan, which means it'll take longer to arrive. That said, it's the exact same kit, you'll get free shipping, and you can purchase it on Amazon's US storefront.
Considering that Lego Mario & Yoshi released in October and has yet to receive a discount from a US-based retailer, Amazon's deal on an imported edition is definitely worth considering. Earlier this month, this same listing dropped to roughly $120 before shooting back up to full price, so we don't expect this offer to stick around for long. Amazon's regular US listing for Lego Mario & Yoshi is sold out. If you want the set sooner, Walmart and Best Buy have it in stock for full price. If you're a My Best Buy Plus/Total member, however, you'll only pay $117.
Lego Super Mario World: Mario and Yoshi (1,215 Pieces)
$117.52 (was $130)
Lego Super Mario World: Mario and Yoshi is a 1,215-piece set that authentically captures the pixelated aesthetic from the Super Nintendo era. It's a fun build to piece together and a fitting display piece for all Super Mario fans, but especially those with a fondness for the 16-bit character designs.
The completed model is 15.5 x 10 x 4 inches and features several interactive components. There's a dial behind Yoshi's head that extends his tongue. The crank on the side of the base creates a more elaborate animation. Yoshi's legs move to make it appear as if he is running. Adding to the illusion is the figure's quick bouncing motion. Yoshi's head inches forward and back, and Mario's cape sways gently, just as it does in the game.
It also has an Action Tag, so if you own one of the Adventures with Lego Super Mario starter courses, the Interactive figures (Mario, Luigi, or Peach) will react.
Lego did a wonderful job making the instructions easy to follow. I used a combination of the physical instruction booklet and the Lego Builder app on iPad. The square pieces used to create the "pixel art" are numbered in the booklet, which was extremely helpful for me as someone with colorblindness.
Though technically part of Lego's 18-plus "for adults" line, kids who have put together sets in the 1,000-piece probably won't have any issues.
Lego Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi is one of only six Lego Nintendo display models designed for adults, while the rest are interactive playsets. Five of the display models are themed around Mario, and Lego Great Deku Tree is based on The Legend of Zelda. The Great Deku Tree was a Lego Store exclusive when it launched last fall, but as of this month it's available at major retailers, including Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy ($30 discount for My Best Buy Plus/Total members).
