Nintendo fans have an opportunity to acquire the LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi set at a significant discount during Amazon's Prime Day event. The set, number 71438, is currently priced at $89.99, marking a 30% reduction and its lowest price to date. This offer includes free shipping.
Adding to the appeal of this deal, the LEGO Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi set is reportedly nearing retirement. It is currently sold out on the official LEGO Shop website with no estimated restock date. This suggests that interested buyers should act quickly to secure the set.
The build itself is substantial, measuring nearly 16 inches tall and 5 inches wide, and comprises 1,215 bricks. It is primarily a two-dimensional construction designed as a display piece. Despite its static appearance, the set includes interactive elements, such as a crank that animates Yoshi running with Mario on its back, and a dial that moves Yoshi's tongue.
LEGO recommends the set for builders aged 18 and up due to its complexity, which involves smaller bricks and specialized components like rubber bands, hinges, and ball joints. The resulting display piece is described as highly satisfying.
