It’s the collaboration we thought might never happen. After years of fan-made "MOCs" (My Own Creations) and rumors, the two biggest names in play have finally united. To celebrate the massive 30th Anniversary of Pokémon, The LEGO Group has officially unveiled its first wave of sets, launching worldwide on Pokémon Day 2026.

This isn't just a small release; it’s a high-end tribute to the Kanto region that started it all. Here is everything you need to know about the "bricks you’ve gotta catch."

The Showstoppers: 18+ Collector Series

LEGO is aiming directly at adult collectors with this first wave, focusing on high piece counts and incredible display value.

• The Kanto Trio (Set #72153): This is the "Holy Grail" of the launch. A massive 6,838-piece set featuring fully articulated, large-scale models of Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. At $649.99, it’s a serious investment piece, but the level of detail in the "elemental" bases is unlike anything we’ve seen.
• Pikachu & Poké Ball (Set #72152): Coming in at 2,050 pieces, this set features a dynamic Pikachu leaping from a brick-built Poké Ball. It includes a "lightning" display stand and hidden "Easter eggs," like the number 25 (Pikachu's Pokédex number) hidden in the build.
• The Evolution of Eevee (Set #72151): For those looking for something more desk-friendly, this 587-piece Eevee is poseable, expressive, and priced at a more accessible $59.99.

Exclusive "Trainers Only" Rewards

LEGO and Pokémon are rewarding the most dedicated fans with exclusive "Gifts with Purchase" (GWP) that are likely to skyrocket in value on the secondary market:

1. Kanto Region Badge Collection (Set #40892): If you pick up the big Kanto Trio set during the launch week, you get a brick-built display case containing all eight iconic Gym Badges from the original games.
2. Mini Pokémon Center (Set #40911): This is a LEGO Insiders Reward. By redeeming 2,500 points, you can get this micro-scale version of the classic healing station, complete with a tiny interior including a PC and a recovery machine.

The 30th Anniversary Hype

With a Super Bowl LX commercial for Pokémon airing this weekend and the Pokémon Presents livestream confirmed for February 27th, the energy is electric. These LEGO sets aren't just toys; they are icons of a 30-year legacy.

Whether you are a master builder or a Pokémon Master, the question remains: Which set are you clearing shelf space for? Let us know in the comments if you're going for the massive Trio or the classic Pikachu!
