The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company have officially confirmed their first collection of LEGO® Pokémon™ sets, led by a premium Kanto display build featuring Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur — and a mid-range Pikachu model bursting out of a Poké Ball.
Details were published by Pokémon.com’s official announcement and echoed by LEGO’s Pokémon hub, confirming a release date of February 27, 2026, with pre-orders opening from January 12, 2026.
What’s launching first: three sets, five iconic Pokémon
LEGO’s first wave focuses on build-and-display models rather than minifig-scale playsets — aiming straight at collectors and older fans with detailed, poseable figures and display bases. Across the first three products, five fan-favorite Pokémon appear in brick form: Pikachu, Eevee, Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise.
The headline-grabber is the $649.99 set: a massive three-in-one centerpiece featuring the final evolutions of Kanto’s starters, designed to be displayed together on a themed action base. The other two builds spotlight Pikachu in a dynamic “launch” pose from a Poké Ball, and Eevee as a smaller, poseable character model.
The $650 centerpiece: Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise
If you want a single display that screams “Gen 1,” LEGO’s largest Pokémon release out of the gate is the trio set: LEGO® Pokémon™ Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise. It’s built as a collector-grade model with individual articulation, and a shared base that includes hidden “easter eggs” and terrain-like detailing inspired by each Pokémon’s environment.
- Set: LEGO® Pokémon™ Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise
- Pieces: 6,838
- Price: $649.99 (US) / £579.99 (UK)
- Release: February 27, 2026
- Pre-order: January 12, 2026
In short: this is the “statement piece” — the set that will dominate shelves, desks and display cabinets, and likely become the instant benchmark for what LEGO Pokémon can do at the high end.
Pikachu and Poké Ball: the iconic scene in bricks
The second headline set recreates an instantly recognizable Pokémon moment: Pikachu leaping out of a Poké Ball in a battle-ready pose. LEGO’s official description highlights a lightning-bolt-inspired base, energy effects rising from the ball, and a small numeric “25” nod to Pikachu’s Pokédex number. The model is also designed to pose in alternate display configurations (including a seated Pikachu beside a closed ball).

Eevee: the “starter” set for collectors
Rounding out the first trio is LEGO® Pokémon™ Eevee, positioned as the most accessible entry point in the opening lineup — with a smaller piece count and a build focused on expression and poseability (movable head, tail and limbs). It’s also promoted with LEGO’s “Build Together” style of guided building, aimed at making it easier to share the build experience with friends or family.
