LEGO Reveals Five New Pokémon Sets and Opens Pre‑Orders

The launch marks a clear push toward adult collector display pieces with staged shipments in August and October.

Overview

  • LEGO officially revealed the five sets on Tuesday and opened pre-orders on its store, confirming piece counts, prices, and release windows.
  • Three display-focused builds — Rayquaza (1,083 pieces, $129.99), Arcanine (1,190 pieces, $109.99) and Munchlax (757 pieces, $69.99) — are scheduled to ship on August 1.
  • A 2,339-piece Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball diorama priced at $299.99 and a 930-piece Up‑Scaled Red Minifigure priced at $79.99 will arrive on October 1.
  • The Rayquaza set includes a Zinnia minifigure and the Poké Ball set contains minifigures of Red and Professor Oak plus Pikachu and Eevee, and fans have praised the Poké Ball diorama while many criticized the larger Red minifigure design.
  • The drop follows months of high-resolution leaks and fits LEGO’s broader strategy this year to sell nostalgia-driven, display-oriented items to adult collectors during Pokémon’s 30th anniversary surge.
