LEGO and Pokémon Unveil First Official Sets for Feb. 27 Launch

Priced as collector displays, the debut line offers a launch-window badge gift for buyers of the largest set through official LEGO channels.

Overview

  • The first wave comprises three sets with US pricing and piece counts: Eevee (587 pieces, $59.99), Pikachu & Poké Ball (2,050 pieces, $199.99), and a Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise diorama (6,838 pieces, $649.99).
  • Preorders opened January 12 with shipping slated to begin February 27, aligning with Pokémon’s 30th anniversary celebrations.
  • Purchases of the Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise set via LEGO.com or official LEGO Stores include a Kanto Region Badge Collection gift during the launch window while supplies last.
  • All three builds are positioned for adult collectors with an 18+ age rating, featuring articulated models and display bases tailored to the characters.
  • Prices have prompted pushback from some fans, early preorders for the largest set sold out on LEGO’s site, and regional pricing varies significantly, reaching $899.99 CAD in Canada.
