The collaboration between Lego and Pokémon was revealed in March of the previous year, and the initial offerings from this alliance are ready for pre-order. All three sets are available now, with delivery anticipated on February 27. A promotional image previously featured lightning motifs, signaling that Pikachu would be among the first characters adapted into brick form, accompanied by a Poké Ball. This 2,050-piece assembly allows for Pikachu to be depicted either emerging from an opened Poké Ball in a dynamic pose or positioned calmly with a sealed Poké Ball nearby, priced at $200.
Another option is a 587-piece Eevee figure, available for $60. For a more expansive build, there's a set showcasing Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise together. Comprising 6,838 pieces, it enables construction of the trio in a unified battle stance or as individual scenes within their respective habitats, with a retail price of $650.
Prospective buyers should note that the block-based designs of these Pokémon may appear unconventional. The inherent difficulty of replicating curved forms using rectangular bricks can affect the overall look, such as Pikachu's rounded facial features, which seem slightly disproportionate despite specialized pieces intended to convey fullness. Similar impressions arise with the other models, though Eevee captures a somewhat more accurate resemblance. While endearing in their brick interpretations, they differ from representations in other media. Enthusiasts can visit Lego's official site to secure these sets promptly.
