The Lego Nintendo Entertainment System is currently available at a 20% discount at the Lego Store, as part of their pre-Black Friday Insiders Weekend promotion. This is one of several rarely discounted sets that Lego Insiders can purchase at a 20% reduction. With this discount, the Lego NES is reduced from $270 to just $216, matching the lowest price we've seen since its release in 2020. Other notable deals include the massive Star Wars AT-AT Walker, which, despite a $170 discount, still costs $680, and the 2,314-piece R2-D2 model kit, now priced at $192 (down from $240). Additionally, fans can save on iconic movie cars like the Batmobile Tumbler from The Dark Knight, now $216, and the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters, priced at $192 (originally $240).
If you're not already a Lego Insider, signing up for the free rewards program will grant you access to these offers. All purchases made during the Insiders Weekend will earn double rewards points. This promotion ends on Sunday, November 24 at 9 PM PT. The Lego NES set not only includes a buildable version of the iconic console but also all the components needed to construct an old-school CRT TV, NES controller, and a Super Mario Bros. cartridge. The final product is a detailed display piece with interactive features such as a functioning cartridge slot, rotating dials on the CRT TV, and a crank-operated screen that simulates a Super Mario level. It also contains a delightful secret for long-time fans.
The Lego NES is part of six Super Mario-themed sets aimed at adults. Amazon and Walmart are offering significant deals on two of these sets. The 2,064-piece Super Mario 64 Question Block set is on sale for $180 at both retailers, a notable deal since Lego recently discontinued this kit. For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Piranha Plant set is discounted to $48 at Amazon and Walmart, matching its all-time low price of $48 (originally $60).
The newest addition to the Super Mario display sets, Lego Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi, launched on October 1. This set captures the essence of one of the best Mario games with its retro charm, featuring sprite-like depictions of Mario and Yoshi constructed from 1,215 Lego pieces. The set includes a display stand with a crank that animates Yoshi's legs into a running motion, and a dial that makes Yoshi's tongue stick out without needing Mario to punch the back of his head.
Nintendo fans should also explore the first Lego set based on The Legend of Zelda, The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 building kit. Exclusive to the Lego Store, this set retails for $300, making it the most expensive Lego Nintendo set to date. It offers a 2-in-1 build, allowing you to choose between the Breath of the Wild or Ocarina of Time versions of The Great Deku Tree. The Breath of the Wild build uses more pieces, while the Ocarina of Time version is easier to both build and disassemble if you wish to try both.
