The first official LEGO Pokémon sets released February 27, 2026, timed to land on the franchise's exact 30th anniversary date. It's the first time the two brands have collaborated on a physical product line, after years of fans asking for exactly this. Three sets make up the initial wave, each sold separately.
Eevee (72151)
The smallest set of the wave at 587 pieces, built for a shelf rather than a display case. Ears and tail pose independently and the head and limbs are articulated, and the set hides an Easter egg detail that nods at Eevee's evolutions without needing another set to show it off.
Pikachu and Poké Ball (72152)
2,050 pieces and priced at $199.99, this is the centerpiece for most builders: a mid leap Pikachu posed coming out of an open Poké Ball, both buildable in either an open or closed display state. The base spells out "25" in studs, Pikachu's Pokédex number, ringed by a lightning bolt stand.
Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise (72153)
The flagship of the wave: all three Kanto starters' final evolutions in one 6,838 piece display, each individually posable, Venusaur's vines, Blastoise's arms and head, Charizard's wings and limbs, arranged as a single battle diorama rather than three separate stands. There's also a 312 piece Kanto Badge Collection sold alongside the figure sets, letting a builder assemble brick versions of all eight Kanto gym badges, a detail aimed squarely at players who grew up with the original games rather than newer fans.
Why this matters beyond the toy aisle
A LEGO collaboration is a different kind of anniversary product than a card set or a Happy Meal promo: it's aimed at a buyer who may not touch the TCG at all. For a card seller, that mostly matters as a signal, not inventory, evidence of how far The Pokémon Company is willing to push the 30th anniversary outside its usual product categories, which tends to correlate with sustained demand across the whole ecosystem through the rest of the year.
