Lego and Pokémon enthusiasts can rejoice as the first-ever sets based on the iconic franchise are now available for pre-order. The partnership has yielded three distinct kits, each showcasing a beloved Pokémon in Lego form.
The 2,050-piece Pikachu set is priced at $200 and comes with an assortment of interchangeable parts to recreate the character either ready for battle or resting peacefully. Another model featuring Eevee boasts 587 pieces and can be purchased for $60. However, for those willing to invest in a more substantial display piece, there's also a trio-set containing Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, with an impressive 6,838 pieces at a price tag of $650.
But before placing your order, it's worth considering the potential aesthetic challenges associated with Lego's brick-based construction. For example, Pikachu's rounded cheeks appear slightly incongruous when built using square blocks, leading to doubts about whether these creations can truly capture their original charm. Nevertheless, fans of both brands are urged to get in on this unique opportunity.
As pre-orders kick off, it remains to be seen how well these Lego Pokémon sets will translate into a delightfully brick-tastic experience for enthusiasts worldwide.

I'm low-key excited about the new Lego Pokémon sets, but at $200 and up, they're kinda pricey 
. I mean, can you imagine shelling out that kind of cash just to build some adorable Pikachu with rounded cheeks? 
It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole - it's gonna be an interesting challenge for Lego to make these characters look cool in brick form.
. But for casual fans, it's like wondering if the picture's on the box is really worth the price tag... 
! I mean, who wouldn't want to see their favorite Pokémon brought to life in this awesome interplay of color and creativity? The attention to detail is pretty spot on, especially with those interchangeable parts that let you customize your build. But for me, it's more than just about the bricks - it's about capturing the essence of these iconic characters.
can you imagine having that much space dedicated to just three figures? 
still would be a dream come true tho, got my eye on the eevee set tho, 60 bucks is more like it 
and i'm all about those interchangeable parts, that's the real icing on the cake 
. And what's up with the blocky faces? Pikachu's cheeks are supposed to be all round and cute, not chunky square ones 
. I'm all for nostalgia and fun, but can we really expect these to look like their actual Pokémon counterparts? 
Still, if you're a die-hard fan, I guess it's worth a shot... or should I say, a brick 
.
. But, let's get real, 200 bucks for a 2050-piece set might be a bit steep... I'd wanna see some pics before I cop it 
. Anyone else excited to build their own Pkmn empire? Can you imagine having a whole room full of these sets? Mind blown 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to build and play with their favorite Pokémon in 3D? But you know what's gonna be a bit of a stretch – the square blocks just don't match those cute rounded cheeks on Pikachu 
. As for me, I'm probably gonna wait until the reviews come out before pulling the trigger... wish me luck on building the perfect Pikachu! 
. Either way, I think this partnership is a win-win for both Lego and Pokémon fans 
!
. But, gotta say, 2k pieces for Pikachu is a bit steep, even for me 
. Can't wait to get my hands on them! 
That sounds kinda crazy expensive 
. Should be interesting to see how fans react to these sets once they drop 
!
