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.
