Lego Finally Unleashes Pokémon, And Fans Are Shocked by the Price
Good evening and this is a big one for fans of both bricks and battles.
After years of speculation and wish lists, Lego has officially stepped into the Pokémon universe. For the first time ever, iconic Pokémon like Pikachu, Eevee, Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise are arriving as high-end Lego display sets. And the reaction has been instant excitement, mixed with a serious case of sticker shock.
Lego first teased this partnership last year and now the promise is real. These are not simple kids’ toys. They are clearly aimed at adult collectors and long-time Pokémon fans. The kind of people who grew up with Red and Blue on a Game Boy and now want something bold on a shelf.
The entry point is Eevee. It’s the smallest build, just under six hundred pieces and it comes in at about sixty dollars. Manageable for many fans and a gentle introduction to the line.

Then comes Pikachu. And this is where eyebrows start to rise. At first glance it looks similar in size, but this version is fully poseable, comes with a Poké Ball and crosses two thousand pieces. The price jumps to around two hundred dollars. For many fans, that jump feels steep, especially since other brick brands offered similar builds for far less in the past.
And if you really want to go big, Lego is clearly ready to test your limits. The classic trio of Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise comes as one massive display project. Nearly seven thousand pieces. A custom base. A centerpiece build meant to dominate a room. The price? Around six hundred and fifty dollars. That is not a casual purchase. That is a commitment.
To soften the blow, Lego is offering a bonus for buyers of the biggest set. A buildable Kanto Region badge display, inspired by the anime, thrown in as a free extra. It’s a clear nod to nostalgia and a smart move to sweeten the deal.
These sets go on general sale March first, with early access for Lego members a few days before. Preorders are already live and expectations are high that stock will move fast.
The bigger story here is what this partnership represents. Pokémon has moved from a rival brick brand to Lego itself and Lego is positioning Pokémon not as a toy aisle product, but as premium fandom art. That could change how future character sets are priced and designed.
So the Pokémon are here. They look impressive. They are built to last. But catching them all, this time, might require more than a Poké Ball. It may take a very deep wallet.
And that’s the latest. We’ll keep watching how fans respond once these builds hit shelves.
