Lego and Pokemon have officially joined forces to create a new line of building sets that let fans construct their favorite Pokemon characters using classic Lego bricks. The collaboration, which has been anticipated for some time, marks the first time these two iconic brands have worked together on a product line.
At a Glance
- Three Pokemon Lego sets launch February 27, 2025
- Prices range from $60 to $650 with piece counts from 587 to 6,838
- Free gift available with preorder of the premium collector set
- Why it matters: Adult fans can now display detailed Pokemon builds as collectible art pieces
The debut collection targets adult builders with complex designs meant for display rather than play. Each set features dynamic posing capabilities intended to capture the personality of the Pokemon characters. The initial release includes three options: an Eevee set, a combined Pikachu and Poke Ball set, and a premium collector set featuring Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
Pricing and Availability
The sets span a wide price range to accommodate different budgets and building preferences. The entry-level option starts at $60, while the most elaborate set commands $650. Piece counts vary dramatically across the lineup, from 587 pieces in the smaller sets to 6,838 pieces in the collector edition.
Preorders are available now through Lego stores and the company’s website. The official release date is set for February 27, 2025, when the sets will become available both online and in physical Lego retail locations.
Exclusive Preorder Bonus
Customers who preorder the Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise collector set will receive an additional item at no extra cost. The bonus consists of a Lego Pokemon Kanto Region Badge Collection, normally valued at $30. This preorder incentive is available only while supplies last, adding urgency for collectors who want the complete package.
The collaboration represents a significant expansion of Lego’s adult-oriented product lines, which have gained popularity among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciate the combination of nostalgia and sophisticated building challenges. These Pokemon sets continue that trend by offering intricate designs that serve as display pieces once completed.
Amanda S. Bennett reported that the sets are specifically designed for ages 18 and up, acknowledging the technical complexity and display-focused nature of the builds. This positioning distinguishes them from traditional Lego sets marketed toward children, instead targeting adult fans who grew up with both Lego and Pokemon.
The timing of the February release appears strategic, allowing Lego to capitalize on both the enduring popularity of Pokemon among adults who played the games or watched the animated series during their childhood, and the growing market for adult Lego building as a hobby and collecting activity.
