Lego is releasing its first-ever Pokémon building sets, bringing Pikachu, Eevee, and the original Kanto starters into brick form.
The collection debuts March 1 for the general public and Feb. 27 for Lego Insiders, according to News Of Losangeles. The rollout includes three main sets and two promotional items tied to the franchise’s anniversary.
Flagship Set Towers at Nearly 20 Inches
The Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise display set anchors the wave. It contains 6,838 pieces and retails for $650. Builders can assemble each fully detailed Pokémon separately or mount all three on a single base that reflects their elemental types. The finished model measures 21.3 inches wide and 19.7 inches tall. Details include Charizard’s flame-tipped tail and water jets erupting from Blastoise’s cannons.
Mid-Range Pick Pairs Pikachu With Poke Ball
The Pikachu and Poké Ball set bundles 2,050 pieces for $200. The figure stands on a base that makes the electric mouse appear to leap from a chunky, cube-shaped Poké Ball amid blue lightning. The ball opens and closes, letting owners stash the mascot inside.
Budget Option Focuses on Fan-Favorite Eevee
The Eevee kit offers 587 pieces for $60, forming a 8.5-inch-long posable figure. Sophia A. Reynolds noted the model is “already a fan favorite” based on early reactions.
Limited-Time Gifts Sweeten Launch
Two smaller sets arrive Feb. 27 under restricted terms:
- Kanto Region Badge Collection – free gift-with-purchase for buyers of the $650 trio set from Feb. 27 through March 3
- Mini Pokémon Center – redeemable for 2,500 Lego Insider points; the loyalty program is free and awards 6.5 points per dollar spent
No minifigures appear in this wave. The article speculates future releases could add characters and play features such as the Smart Brick Lego showcased at CES 2026.
Digital Hunt Offers Championship Trip
Lego and The Pokémon Company International are running an online scavenger hunt across social media until Feb. 27. Each week, new Pokémon images appear for fans to find. The grand prize is a trip to PokémonXP and the 2026 Pokémon World Championships.
The sets hit shelves shortly after Lego’s expansion into video-game properties such as Minecraft and Super Mario. Given Pokémon’s sustained popularity, the move pairs two of the world’s best-selling toy and entertainment brands.
Shoppers can secure the models starting Feb. 27 through the Insider program or wait for the wide release on March 1.
