The Purple Toad packs a character punch well above its price — small pack, but the A on price means LEGO® didn't get greedy here, and the Toad fig alone justifies the shelf space it takes.

The Full Take
Character Packs in the Super Mario line live or die by the figure, and Purple Toad delivers a clean variant that Super Mario collectors will clock immediately. The build is what it is — a handful of pieces setting a scene — but that's the format, not a flaw. At this price point the set sits in impulse-buy territory where the math just works in your favor. The fig is distinct enough to matter if you're building out the roster, and the color variant angle gives it more identity than a lot of packs in this wave. Where it stumbles is the long game: secondary market interest in Character Packs is inconsistent, and Purple Toad isn't a marquee name with a crowd pulling for the price to spike. Buy it because you want it on your shelf, not because you're betting on it.
