I wish I’d waited for this Lego deal before buying my favourite set of the year

I did something I never do when I first saw the Lego Mario & Yoshi set on the shelves – I bought it outright at full price. I’ve been a deal hunter for years now, I really should know better, but the pixelated promise of a full Super Mario World build in my collection proved too powerful. I paid £114.99 for this set back in October, but if you’ve managed to hold off for a discount there’s a reward waiting at Amazon.

The figure is now available for just £89.99 with delivery ahead of Christmas Day for Prime members. That’s a £25 saving on the original RRP, and a return to a record-low price only previously spotted for a few days last month. Considering this is easily in the running as one of the best Lego sets of the year, that’s a fantastic result.
