Enthusiasts of LEGO Super Mario have a fresh chance to acquire the now-discontinued Donkey Kong`s Tree House playset at a reduced cost. During the Prime Big Deal Days event, Amazon is offering this 555-piece set for just $42, down from its original price of $60. The Tree House includes buildable figures of Donkey Kong and Cranky Kong, featuring several interactive components when combined with the Mario, Luigi, or Peach Starter Set figures.
This Amazon promotion is particularly significant given that this set, along with three others released concurrently, was officially retired by LEGO in late 2024. Although these four sets vanished from most major retailers earlier this year, Amazon recently replenished its stock and is currently the sole vendor for these items.
Currently, Amazon has three of the four Donkey Kong-themed LEGO sets available. While Donkey Kong`s Tree House boasts the most substantial discount, Dixie Kong`s Jungle Jam also offers savings. Rambi the Rhino is priced at $11, its standard cost. Additionally, fans can find discounts on Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo from the LEGO Mario Kart series. Notably, the Donkey Kong Mario Kart set is already marked as `retiring soon,` indicating its impending discontinuation from shelves.

Below is a closer look at DK`s Tree House and the other sets featuring members of the Kong family:
Donkey Kong`s Tree House Expansion Set (555 Pieces)
The Donkey Kong`s Tree House Expansion Set allows you to construct DK`s iconic home. This 555-piece set functions differently from typical LEGO Super Mario `levels` with enemies; instead, Cranky Kong awards coins to LEGO Mario, Luigi, or Peach figures. These interactive figures can also attach to Donkey Kong`s back. The set includes Cranky Kong, a hammock, conga drums, palm trees, a Bowser flag, and a Warp Pipe. Launched in August 2023, this set has been particularly elusive since its retirement by LEGO, being out of stock at most retailers throughout 2025.
Dixie Kong`s Jungle Jam LEGO Set (174 Pieces)
The Dixie Kong`s Jungle Jam LEGO set features a vibrant live music stage. Your LEGO Mario figure can join Dixie, who plays an electric guitar, while Squawks performs vocals. This 174-piece set is available for $21.74 on Amazon, and it is currently sold out elsewhere.
Diddy Kong`s Mine Cart Ride Expansion Set (1,157 Pieces)
While Amazon itself is out of stock for the Diddy Kong`s Mine Cart Ride set, it can still be purchased at a discount from third-party resellers, with shipping handled by Amazon. Mine cart stages are a signature, often challenging element of the Donkey Kong Country series, making this an ideal theme for a LEGO set. This 1,157-piece set, the largest Donkey Kong-themed LEGO creation, references the Mole Miner Max boss battle from Donkey Kong Country Returns. It includes buildable figures of Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Mole Miner, and Chomps. The interactive mine cart system works with LEGO Mario, Luigi, or Peach figures, challenging players to repair the track and defeat the Mole Miner. The set also allows for the construction of Funky Kong`s airplane, complete with balloons and a barrel.
Rambi the Rhino LEGO Set (106 Pieces)
The Rambi the Rhino set is a 106-piece build featuring the iconic character and destructible stacked rocks. While other Kong LEGO figures can ride Rambi, it is primarily designed for interaction with LEGO Mario, Luigi, or Peach figures. Tapping these figures against Rambi`s back triggers Donkey Kong Country music and various stomping and charging sound effects. Rambi the Rhino is currently priced at $11 on Amazon and is unavailable at other retailers.
Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo (387 Pieces)
The Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo set, although not yet retired, is slated for discontinuation soon. This makes it the first LEGO Mario Kart set to be phased out since its launch in early 2025. This 387-piece construction includes a barrel-themed kart capable of launching red and green shells towards a banana peel-adorned target. Significantly, it features a buildable Donkey Kong figure, closely resembling the one found in the Tree House set. Donkey Kong & DK Jumbo is currently available on Amazon for $28.49, marking its lowest price ever.
