Bowser may be the main man when it comes to Mario bad guys, but Lego Piranha Plant makes a solid case for being one of the best standalone kits in the range. It strikes the perfect balance of price and personality.
Crucially, it's a great choice for almost every grown-up fan of Super Mario under the sun. No matter whether you're looking for a desk buddy, are new to Lego and want an easy introduction, or are tracking down thoughtful gifts, the Lego Piranha Plant should deliver like a power-up mushroom from a yellow block. Does it deserve a place on lists of the best Lego sets? For my money, hell yes.
