Leaked listings that surfaced this week on the Lego Leak subreddit claim a new wave of licensed Pokémon LEGO sets is imminent, with alleged models for Arcanine, Rayquaza and Munchlax among the lineup.
The posts include set numbers and piece counts and suggest a possible August timing for one of the releases, but those details remain unconfirmed by The LEGO Group or The Pokémon Company.
Background
LEGO and The Pokémon Company have collaborated on official merchandise in recent years under a licensing arrangement.
Pokémon as a franchise remains primarily associated with Nintendo platforms — including the Nintendo Switch, which hosts the mainline Pokémon titles — and announcements related to the series frequently appear in Nintendo Direct presentations or publisher channels, though hardware and game distribution also involve the Nintendo eShop for digital content.
What the leaks claim
According to the subreddit posts, the alleged new sets include:
- Arcanine (alleged set 72160) — reported at approximately 1,190 pieces and described in the listing as a large build.
The leaks indicate an August window for this set, but that timing is not confirmed.
- Rayquaza (alleged set 72168) — reported at roughly 1,083 pieces.
- Munchlax (alleged set 72150) — reported at about 757 pieces.
- An “Up-Scaled Red Minifigure” (alleged set 40868) — reportedly constructed from more than 900 pieces.
- A large Poké Ball build (alleged set 72154) — the listing claims a recreation of an iconic in-game scene and includes custom figure elements for Pikachu and Eevee, with an alleged piece count around 2,386.
Rewritten statement
The phrase used in the initial leak, "Gotta build 'em all," can be restated for clarity as: the marketing message is positioned to encourage collectors to assemble the entire set lineup, echoing Pokémon’s classic catchphrase while emphasizing the collectibility of the LEGO models.
What’s verified and what to watch for
The details above are taken from leaked listings and have not been officially confirmed.
Verified information about official LEGO Pokémon releases will come from The LEGO Group or The Pokémon Company via their press channels and retail listings.
Fans tracking official launches should watch LEGO’s channels and major retail listings for confirmed release dates and pricing.
For Nintendo and Pokémon followers, these reported sets tie into recognizable franchise characters that many will know from Nintendo Switch titles; however, readers should treat the subreddit listings as leaks until formal announcements are issued.
