Lego has unveiled the first three Pokémon sets but fans have been left shocked by the hefty price tag.
Last March, Pokémon confirmed it would be working with Lego on a series of releases to celebrate the franchises’ 30th anniversary. After plenty of online speculation, the first wave of Pokémon Lego was unveiled yesterday (January 12).
“By combining Pokémon’s sense of adventure with the thoughtful design and attention to detail of the LEGO Group, we’re giving fans the chance to build, play and tell their own stories in ways they’ve never experienced before – something we’re thrilled to see come to life,” said The Pokémon Company’s Gaku Susai.
“Pokémon has inspired generations of fans around the world, so our team approached the design of these sets with immense care and passion, ensuring every detail and pose truly celebrates what makes these characters so beloved, ” added Lego designer Siddharth Muthyala.
A model of Eevee will set you back £54.99 while the Pikachu + Pokeball model is £179.99. A huge model of the final evolutions of the Kanto starters (Venusaur, Charizard and Blastiose) is priced at £579.99. Made up of 6838 bricks, it’s one of the biggest sets in Lego history.
