The Lego Nintendo Entertainment System is on sale for 20% off at the Lego Store as part of the retailer’s pre-Black Friday Insiders Weekend. It’s one of numerous rarely discounted sets available for 20% off for Lego Insiders. With the discount, the Lego NES drops from $270 to only $216. This matches the best price we’ve seen for the charming 2,646-piece set since its debut in 2020.
Other highlights from Insiders Weekend include the absolutely massive Star Wars AT-AT Walker, which clocks in at 6,785 pieces and is on sale for $170 off (but it’s still $680). This makes the 2,314-piece R2-D2 model kit for $192 (was $240) sound like a bargain. You can also save big on some cool cars from movies, including the Batmobile Tumbler from The Dark Knight, which is down to $216, and the ECTO-1 from Ghostbusters, which is $192 (was $240).
If you aren’t a Lego Insider, you can sign up for the free rewards program to get this offer now. All purchases made this weekend will earn Insiders double rewards points. Lego Insiders Weekend ends on Sunday, November 24 at 9 PM PT.

Lego Nintendo Entertainment System (2,646 Pieces)
Lego’s take on Nintendo’s iconic console doesn’t just include a buildable version of the machine, it also throws in all the pieces you’ll need to build an old-school CRT TV and stand, NES controller, and a Super Mario Bros. NES cartridge as well.
The end result is an intricate display piece., full of interactive elements like a working cartridge slot, rotating dials on the CRT TV, and a crank-operated screen that emulates a Super Mario level. It also has a very charming secret that will delight long-time fans.
The Lego NES is one of six Super Mario-themed Lego model kits geared toward adults. Amazon and Walmart have notable deals on two of the others. The 2,064-piece Super Mario 64 Question Block set is on sale for $180 at both retailers for Black Friday. This deal is particularly notable because Lego discontinued the Question Block kit a few months ago.
On the budget side of Lego Mario display sets, the adorable Piranha Plant set is discounted to $48 at Amazon and Walmart. This 540-piece set normally costs $60, and $48 matches its all-time low price.
Lego Super Mario: More Display Models for Adults
The newest Super Mario display set launched on October 1. Lego Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi recaptures the magic of one of the best Mario games in all of its retro glory. It features eye-catching sprite depictions of Mario and Yoshi built from 1,215 Lego pieces. When you turn the crank on the display stand, Yoshi’s legs animate into a running motion. Yoshi’s tongue sticks out when you twist a dial–Mario doesn’t even need to punch the back of Yoshi’s head to make this happen.
Nintendo fans should also check out the first Lego set based on The Legend of Zelda. The Great Deku Tree 2-in-1 building kit is a Lego Store-exclusive 2-in-1 set that retails for $300. This makes it the most expensive Lego Nintendo set to date, but it is a 2-in-1 build. Both builds have the same foundation, but about halfway through the process, you pick whether to create the Breath of the Wild or Ocarina of Time version of The Great Deku Tree. The Breath of the Wild build uses more pieces, so if you want to try both, the Ocarina of Time build is the easier of the two to both build and disassemble.
