Real-Life Lego Pokémon Set to Launch Next Year

Get Ready to Build Pikachu and Friends — Literally!

Weren't you just sitting there, minding your own business, when news of an outrageous team-up dropped like a bomb? That's right, we're talking about the electric union between the pop culture juggernauts, Pokémon, and the ever-versatile Lego!

After a sneaky peek at the Lego Mexico Facebook page earlier today, the cat was literally out of the bag. You know what they say, once the genie's out, you can't put it back! A captivating little clip teasing this epic collab made its way across social media — quickly removed from Facebook, but not before it was screengrabbed and shared, explosively spreading to the Lego Leak subreddit and X/Twitter. Can't keep a good secret, can ya, Lego?

In true no-drama fashion, Lego and Pokémon announced the colossal collaboration on their respective websites in a matter of hours. Putting all the rumors to rest, they're inviting you to electrify your imagination and get ready to build something mind-blowing with Lego bricks — we're talking Pokémon style!

With Lego's last blockbuster collab being an epic 1,972-piece Mario Kart set, partnering with Nintendo on Mario Day (what a coincidence, March 10th), the excitement around this latest union is rate-my-pokéball level high! It marks the first time these legendary toy titans have crossed paths, giving fans on both sides a chance to feel like they've hit the jackpot!

Fancy yourself a dedicated Pokémon gamer? Will the next game up their sleeve, Pokémon Legends Z-A (Sounds ominous, doesn't it?), be releasing on the Nintendo Switch towards the end of this year? How convenient, huh? Looks like the timing for this Lego extravaganza couldn't be better.

With the ol' rumor mills whirling, some Lego aficionados couldn't help but wonder if the mega-popular Nintendo franchise had called it quits with the Lego competitor Mega Bloks for the love of Lego. Only time will tell if Mega Bloks will feel more abandoned than a Farfetched on Route 1.

Counting down the days until 2026, fans are already preparing to fight tooth and nail to get their hands on the thousand-piece set — or whatever magic Lego and Pokémon have conjured up for us. But beware, those savvy scalpers are already sharpening their claws!

Here's the lowdown on what we know so far:

  1. A Cosmic Collaboration: The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have teamed up for a multi-year partnership.
  2. Building a 30-Year Anniversary Dream: The collaboration is scheduled to launch in 2026, celebrating Pokémon's 30th anniversary.
  3. A Teaser for Marvels to Come: A brief video teaser showcases Pikachu's tail being built with Lego bricks and the logos of both brands.

Speculation about what sets Lego and Pokémon are planning is already running wild. Folks are guessing that we might see: 1. Tiny Pokémon: Miniature versions of the beloved Pokémon characters. 2. Brickheadz: Blocky builds of fan-favorites like Pikachu or Charizard. 3. Pokémon Packets: blind bags like those seen in the Lego Super Mario sets. 4. Playsets: Scale playsets featuring minifigures and scaled Pokémon models.

With both brands boasting wide appeal across generations, this collaboration is set to be the titanic match of the century. Keep your wallets handy and your resilience strong, because when this epic set drops, you'll need it!
