I've spent the last two weeks scouring the best Black Friday deals, and now we're in the crux of it most of the major offers have already happened. But for the weekend it's Lego deals that have appeared much later, including this grab-it-before-its-gone offer on the Lego Super Mario The Mighty Bowser.
I've already rounded up the best Lego Advent calendars (basically because I want them all, but can't choose), but if I hadn't already forked out my Black Friday cash on a mega-discounted Xbox Series X then I reckon this Lego Bowser would well and truly be in my Very basket. It was a super-popular deal back in 2022, too, and the same is true this year.
Nintendo seems to be everywhere at the moment: there have been some exceptional Switch deals (the one at Asda in particular) as part of the best console deals over Black Friday (including some very worthy bundles in among the mix), not forgetting of course that the super Super Mario Bros Wonder has only recently launched. The tie-in with Lego is one of my favourites though.
But back to Lego Bowser: I've never seen the model in person, but it looks like a lot of fun to build. The 2807-piece model featured new-at-launch Lego bricks to recreate his shell's spikes, plus there's a fireball-launching mechanism where he can spit 'Lego fire' right out of his big ol' mouth. Mwahahaha.
While you might think of Mario as 'a kids game', the Bowser model is actually rated as an 18+ set – designed for adults given its level of complexity. That makes it easier to excuse buying one when you're having a mid-life crisis, eh? "Oh, it's ok, the kids'll appreciate it". Adds to basket and never looks back...
