Love it! I will definitely be picking this up. Adding a piranha plant tile from something else is easy enough. It fits nicely with the giant world theme that 71412 Big Bad Island touches on too!

It's awesome!

Amazing set!

Just the use of “Piranha Plant’s Lullaby” from Mario 64 in the little promo video makes me want to buy it.

I appreciate having more sub £100 sets like this. Also might look nice alongside the botanical collection??

I see a wonderfull part for a mushroom house.
Great build wonderfull place to store spare Mario's

Is November 6 a date of some significance? It feels a bit random for a release date.

Doesn’t pass the gut check for me. It’s really a $45.00 set, in my humble opinion. Maybe less. By that I mean paying that would be be something where I’d go “Damn that’s a great set!!” Otherwise I have a kind of Ho hum reaction to it.

Looks interesting, I think now with the movie being out etc and length of the licence, we're guaranteed never to get Mario minifigures.

I like it but don't want start nee theme to collect.

I think they'll have a release date of November 1st for the VIPs, with the rest of us getting it slightly later.

I think the price is pretty reasonable for what it is (especially for a licensed set). I'll probably pick this up!

This one looks very good, but I don't know where I need to put it. :/

I can't wait to mod this into the type with the doofy little legs!

That I would certainly have bought.
This looks a bit rubbish, although admittedly pretty accurate to the subject matter (which I have zero interest in).

Wow, LEGO is really milking the Mario franchise to the max. The theme seems to be selling quite well, so good for them! Not my cup of tea but I do like the immediate recognisable icon they made here.

For sale at Mushnik's Flower Shop.

Now I realise that I've got a prototype version. You can definitely see the similarities, particularly in the pipe construction...

Of all the Mario stuff Lego did so far, this is the closest of something I might buy (definitely not at full retail). I would still buy a set with minifig Mario if they eventually smarten up and produce one (would buy a minifig Link as well).

Very nifty! $60 seems reasonably priced compared to the other Mario set range. I would have preferred a pipe on its own which folded out into an underground vignette, but this is nice all the same.

I like it! It captures the piranha quite well, and it is an eye-catching design. Let alone the price/value is pretty great! I won't be picking it up though. It doesn't quite fit my display choices, and I have enough to catch up on as it is.

No mechanism?
Also I really dont understand this decision.
Where are minifig sets?

"Damn, only £57?! I was expecting way more! That is great! Is this the cheapest set with this packaging style? You know 18+ and all that?"

The daffodils were $10 and a 18+ set too.

Little Shop of Horrors, I was thinking the same thing! XD

That's a neat set, not to large, looks really nice, but sadly is rather expensive.

It reminds me of those solar panel dancing flowers...

Oh man that looks awesome. I think I’ll pick that up as a Christmas decoration.

As cool as this is, I just wish they'd do this with the Sonic sets. Something a similar style to 43179 in particular...

"I think there should be more Nintendo Lego sets like this, Bowser, the question mark block and the NES set, and fewer sets like all those expansion courses. I have little interest in moving the Mario figure along a course to 'collect' coins. However, buying those expansion sets was the only way to acquire most of the characters from the Mario games.

And why on earth have there been no Zelda Lego sets? Since Lego acquired the rights from Nintendo to produce Mario sets, it seems like a huge missed opportunity not to acquire the rights from Nintendo to make sets based on the Zelda games. How about a large Hyrule Castle set, for example? Does no-one else have any enthusiasm for a set like that?"

I would love to see Zelda sets! I thought I remember seeing a Great Deku Tree leak for 2024, but maybe I am confusing it with that questionnaire they did earlier this year. Hyrule Castle sounds amazing, although I would love to see some small affordable sets as well. Particularly I would like to see a King of the Red Lions set from WW. There have been a couple of Ideas submissions, but they never made it.

You mean Insiders, we are no longer VIPs.

Gotta say that I love how they made an affordable 18+ Mario set. However I just don’t see myself getting a Piranha Plant, a Goomba, Koopa Troopa, or Shy Guy on the other hand I might go for.

Audrey II, "owned" by Seymour Krelborn, hence @djcbs' "Feed me, Seymour" comment.

@Sabreman64:
Wasn't there one announced?

@birch:
I believe this one was intended for Mother-in-Laws Day.

considering piece count should be $25, if compairing two... But got add theme value.. $35-$40?

I didn't bother with 71395 (although I do like its fold-out diorama) or 71411, but I may get this. And to add to the Little Shop of Horrors comment: "Feed me, Mario... by getting in my belly!"

The top center tooth bothers me a little. I feel it should be a little bit further forward, rather than in line with the two on either side.

Looks great but I’m getting tired of brick-built objects

This looks good. I am excited for this one.
I am glad they didn't go with a larger set this time. Makes it easier to fit in the budget.

Well I love this, but I don't love the price given the botanical range in general is cheaper for a similar style of things.

Also, missed a trick as others have mentioned, not having a movement mechanism, or a hidden minifig.

You know, if it wasn't so massive, the design would be a good base for Frank, from the Harley Quinn streaming series.

Yep. Posted without reading the preceding comments. That's a guarantee that yours will be hopelessly derivative. That's the web. That's life.

At JB Spielwaren it can already be pre-ordered with 20% discount, and it's not even out yet.
I stand by my prediction of discounts of 50% sooner rather than later.
At least over here the Super Mario sets are total shelf warmers and abysmal sellers that can't be moved without massive discounts.

Although the set design is excellent, I wonder if those printed white circles will be the downfall of this set. Confidence for white being printed well is at an all-time low.

Definitely getting two of these - one for me and one for a plant lover...

I had to Google that.

I'm glad that I did.

Darn it, now I want to do that, too! Or at least put a Batman figure in the mouth.

is that a ball joint in dark green?

Well, at least it's under 300 euro for once.

I still wouldn't want to spend that much on it, but hey, I'm not much of a Mario fan. Nor do I have that much to throw around on something like this. But for others it's nice that there are more options now.
