Pre-orders for all three kits are open now, with an expected ship date of February 27. As one might have guessed from the lightning bolts on the previous promotional image, one of the debut pocket monsters getting the brick treatment is <ins>Pikachu<\/ins>, complete with a Pok&eacute; Ball. The 2,050-piece kit can be built to show Pikachu either leaping out of the open Pok&eacute; Ball into battle or at rest staring up at the builder, closed Pok&eacute; Ball between his paws. The Pikachu kit costs $200.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">There&rsquo;s also a 587-piece model of <ins>Eevee<\/ins>, which goes for $60. On the bigger side is a set featuring a trio of Pok&eacute;mon: <ins>Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise<\/ins>. This kit has 6,838 pieces and can show the group together in battle formation or separately in their own mini environments. It retails for $650.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><button aria-label=\"View larger image\" class=\"group absolute bottom-3 right-3 size-10 md:size-[50px] lg:inset-0 lg:size-full lg:bg-transparent\" data-ylk=\"elm:expand;itc:1;sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;\"><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><svg viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"size-4 lg:size-6\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\"><path d=\"M12.372.92c0-.506.41-.916.915-.916L21 0l-.004 7.712a.917.917 0 0 1-1.832 0V3.183l-6.827 6.828-1.349-1.348 6.828-6.828h-4.529a.915.915 0 0 1-.915-.915M1.835 17.816l6.828-6.828 1.349 1.349-6.829 6.827h4.529a.915.915 0 0 1 0 1.831L0 21l.004-7.713a.916.916 0 0 1 1.831 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\" class=\"fixed inset-0 z-[4] size-full max-h-none max-w-none bg-white hidden\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption class=\"relative text-[0.875rem]\/[1.25rem] figure-caption mt-1 line-clamp-2 mt-2.5 md:mt-2 pr-2.5\">\n<p><span class=\"[&amp;_p]:inline\"><\/span><span>Lego<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">Before you leap to pre-order pages, however, here&rsquo;s a word of caution. In Lego form, our little friends look&hellip;kinda strange? I&rsquo;m not the biggest Lego builder, but I am a rather accomplished architect in <em>Minecraft<\/em>, so I am well aware of the innate challenge in constructing a rounded shape from square blocks. Take Pikachu, for instance. Part of his appeal is his chubby little cheeks. There are bricks with more rounded sides in this collection that hint at his usual rotundness, but the proportions of his face just feel a little off to me. I had the same reaction to the other figures as well, although Eevee seems to have fared a little better than the others. They&rsquo;re all sort of cute, but not nearly so cute as they are in other formats. But like I said, Lego is not my personal block of choice, so perhaps I&rsquo;m in the minority here! If you love these bricky pocket monsters, then roll on over to Lego&rsquo;s website and snap up these kits faster than a Mewtwo.<\/p>\n<div class=\"commerce miniModule [&amp;+.miniModule]:border-t [&amp;+.miniModule]:border-dirty-seagull dark:[&amp;+.miniModule]:border-charcoal col-body [&amp;+:not(.miniModule)]:mt-3\" id=\"07a593e6a4ec4528b3a5be4a04e3e558\">\n<div class=\"group flex py-5 @container\/p\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image for the mini product module\" class=\"h-full transition duration-300 ease-in-out object-contain focus:scale-105 group-[:hover:not(:has(.copyCouponCode:hover,.additionalMiniCTA:hover))]:scale-105\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/YScgDsroUGlLmyRSYRIrQQ--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTI0MDtoPTE4MA--\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/uu\/api\/res\/1.2\/IQZhW1YQ6Gy0UMOt_pA64Q--~B\/Zmk9c3RyaW07aD05NjA7dz0xMjgwO2FwcGlkPXl0YWNoeW9u\/https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/os\/creatr-uploaded-images\/2026-01\/7ebb2580-eff7-11f0-9f76-d782ba6623fb\" height=\"90\" width=\"120\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><sub><\/sub><\/p>\n<div>Lego&rsquo;s first Pok&eacute;mon sets are now available for pre-order<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We learned last March that Lego and Pok&eacute;mon would be joining forces and the first results of their partnership are here.
