LEGO has unveiled their first ever Pokémon building brick sets, bringing some of the most iconic monster fighters to life. But get your wallet ready.
Following its recent venture into 'Star Trek' with a building brick set, LEGO is expanding its portfolio into the popular 'Pokémon' anime franchise. The initial rollout of these new LEGO sets, set to launch on February 27, 2026, will feature iconic Pokémon from the extensive Pokédex. A key highlight is a 2,050-piece set dedicated to Pikachu, the beloved yellow electric-type Pokémon. This detailed model allows for dynamic posing, either leaping from a signature Pokéball or sitting charmingly beside its container, and will be available for $199.99. The article teases that Pikachu isn't the only Pokémon to receive attention, with other creatures getting even more elaborate LEGO representations, even if they aren't necessarily the most powerful Pokémon in the franchise.
The collection's showpiece is a large, articulated set featuring the fully evolved Kanto region's first partner Pokémon: Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur, all presented in a single, impressive build. This massive 6,838-piece set offers flexible display options, allowing the Pokémon to be placed together on an intricately designed base showcasing their respective biomes with hidden Easter eggs, or posed individually off the base. This premium set, priced at $649.99, is primarily aimed at adult collectors due to its complexity and significant cost, though it's anticipated to be highly coveted by younger fans as well. Completing the initial lineup is a smaller 587-piece Eevee set, featuring a cute, poseable design with a movable tail, head, and limbs, available for $59.99. The article expresses hope for future sets exploring Eevee's numerous evolutions and strongly suggests that this release is merely the beginning of LEGO's extensive 'Pokémon' product line.
