The long-anticipated collaboration between LEGO and Pokémon might finally have its first big details, and if the latest leaks are accurate, fans could be looking at some seriously ambitious builds.
According to information circulating on LEGO fan forums and later picked up by sites like Insider Gaming and Twisted Voxel, three core sets are said to be planned for release in early 2026. The line reportedly ranges from a modest starter build all the way up to a colossal display piece with nearly seven thousand bricks.
Here’s what’s been claimed so far:
- Set 72151 – around 587 pieces, priced at US$59.99.
- Set 72152 – roughly 2,050 pieces, priced at US$199.99.
- Set 72153 – a staggering 6,838 pieces, priced at US$649.99.
If those numbers hold true, the Pokémon range would launch on March 1, 2026, with LEGO Insiders allegedly gaining early access on February 27. Rumours also suggest a gift-with-purchase promotion will accompany the rollout, possibly featuring a smaller Pokémon build as a bonus.
What makes these leaks stand out is not only the pricing, but also the 18+ branding attached to each set. LEGO has been expanding its adult-focused catalog in recent years with sets like the NES, the Titanic, and the massive Star Wars UCS kits. Positioning Pokémon in this same category indicates that The Pokémon Company and LEGO aren’t just chasing children’s toy sales, but are aiming squarely at nostalgic adult fans and collectors who grew up with the franchise.
The most eyebrow-raising part of the leak is, of course, the nearly $650 flagship build. To put that into perspective, that price point puts it in the same territory as LEGO’s biggest ever releases. Sets of that scale are usually reserved for elaborate models like the Millennium Falcon or Hogwarts Castle, so a Pokémon counterpart would need to be something iconic and eye-catching to justify its size. A life-sized Pikachu? A detailed Pokémon Centre? A towering Legendary like Rayquaza? At this stage, it’s anyone’s guess.

For now, it’s worth treating all of this as unconfirmed. LEGO and The Pokémon Company have not made any official announcements, and leaked set numbers and prices have been wrong before. Still, the consistency across multiple sources gives this rumour more weight than the average Wishlist post.
If confirmed, these sets could mark one of LEGO’s most ambitious partnerships yet, bringing together two brands that have dominated childhoods (and adulthoods) for decades. And if the $649.99 behemoth really does exist, it’s bound to become one of the most sought-after collector’s pieces in both LEGO and Pokémon history.
