Lego's first Pokémon sets are now up for pre-order, with the highly anticipated kits expected to ship on February 27. The collaboration between the two beloved franchises is finally here, offering fans a unique and brick-filled take on their favorite pocket monsters.
Among the initial three sets available for pre-order are kits featuring Pikachu, Eevee, and a trio of popular Pokémon: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. The Pikachu set stands out at 2,050 pieces and costs $200, while the Eevee model is more modestly sized at 587 pieces and retails for $60. On the bigger side is the three-Pokémon kit, boasting an impressive 6,838 pieces and priced at $650.
The sets are a promising start to Lego's partnership with Pokémon, but one reviewer can't help but express some reservations about their execution. They note that while the figures may look cute in other formats, they feel off when constructed from square Lego bricks. This sentiment is echoed by others who share concerns about the proportions and rounded shapes used in the sets.
Despite these minor quibbles, fans of both Lego and Pokémon are likely to be thrilled by this new collaboration. With pre-orders now open, enthusiasts can get a head start on securing their favorite kits before they sell out.

The thought of building Pikachu with all those tiny bricks is just too cute 
... but at the same time, I'm curious to see how it'll hold up when it's done... the proportions do sound a bit wonky 
. Still, who cares? It's Lego + Pokémon = win in my book! 
If you're a fan like me, get those pre-orders in ASAP before they sell out 
It's amazing to see two beloved franchises coming together like this. The attention to detail and design is top-notch, but I do agree with some reviewers that the figures might not be perfect in real life... they're so cute on cardboard cutouts, you know? 
Still, who cares? 
It's Lego! And $200 for a 2,050 piece Pikachu set is a steal if you ask me. 
200 bucks for the Pikachu set is still kinda steep tho 
but 6k pieces is just insane! 
. I just hope the sets hold up well to construction and don't lose any details over time 
.
. Still, overall, this collab is gonna bring so much joy to both fans of the franchise and the LEGO community. Can't wait for February 27th! 
like who wouldn't want to build a giant charizard with legos? 
but seriously, 6,838 pieces is a lot - that's like building an entire house 
. the pics of the sets look so cute tho, especially pikachu 
gotta wait for reviews and see if they're worth the hype 
. and dont even get me started on how much those bigger sets are gonna cost... who's got that kind of cash lying around? 
and I need to get that one ASAP! Fingers crossed they live up to my expectations 
2k pieces and $200? that's just crazy talk! and what's up with the proportions of charizard and blastoise in that set? it looks like they took a handful of random blocks and glued them together without any thought to how it'd turn out 
But, I gotta agree with some reviewers who say the figures don't quite look right in Lego form... like, why did they go with square bricks when Pokémon are supposed to be all rounded and cute? 
and can we talk about how adorable the eevee set looks?! 
also, love how they went for those cool rounded shapes and proportions - it's like a whole new world of pokemon! 
, and I guess it's always cool to have new Lego sets to play with 
! Just hope they're fun to build and not super frustrating 
I've been waiting for this collab for ages and now I just wanna order all three of them ASAP 
but like that one reviewer said, the proportions are a bit off 
still can't wait to get my hands on these babies and build them with my crew 
the proportions thing tho makes sense to me, lego bricks are all about angles and sharp lines can't wait to see how this plays out in real life
