The Huge $650 Pokémon LEGO Set Is Up for Preorder at Amazon
About
Overview
Earlier this year, LEGO released the first batch of official LEGO Pokémon sets. They’re all excellent sets, but the pièce de résistance of the bunch was LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, a $650 set featuring evolved versions of the Kanto starters. It’s a remarkable set in a number of ways, and a gorgeous display piece for adult Pokémon fans. It was a LEGO Store exclusive — until now. Amazon has put up a listing for the big one, and it's available now. We built LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise and found it to be worth the high asking price — assuming you have a spare $650 burning a hole in your wallet. It’s an intricate and gorgeous set ambitious in all the right ways. Each of the evolved Pokémon are beautifully rendered and fully posable. Each one is also set within its own little biome. You can connect the biomes together to create a single eye-catching set, or you can separate them to let each one act as its own unique decoration. Very cool. The other Pokémon LEGO sets are excellent display pieces in their own right — and significantly less expensive. There’s the $200 Pikachu and Poké Ball, which we built and loved in all its action-packed glory. Then there’s the more affordable $60 Eevee, which we also built and were delighted by its adorableness. You really can’t go wrong with any of these sets. And for kids who are more interested in playing with LEGO sets than displaying LEGO sets, LEGO has announced a whole bunch of Smart Play Pokémon LEGO sets, coming August 1.
