LEGO Pokémon Sets Leak: Release Date, Piece Counts, and Pricing Surface Ahead of Official Reveal

The highly anticipated collaboration between LEGO and The Pokémon Company is generating significant buzz in the gaming and collectibles communities.

While fans await official confirmation regarding next year's LEGO Pokémon collection, new information may have surfaced thanks to a recent leak reported by VGC, originating from the r/Legoleak Reddit forum. On June 8, 2024, Reddit user CarterBricks04 posted details allegedly revealing the first three sets of the LEGO Pokémon series.

According to the post, the global launch is scheduled for March 1, 2025, with an exclusive early access period for LEGO Insiders beginning on February 27, coinciding with Pokémon's 30th anniversary.

Notably, each set in this initial wave is reportedly targeted at adult builders with an 18+ age rating. The leak provides purported specifics about the piece counts and pricing of each set.

The entry-level set is said to feature 587 pieces for a retail price of $59.99.

A mid-tier set reportedly offers 2,050 pieces at $199.99.

The most striking reveal is a flagship set, which would contain an impressive 6,838 pieces, priced at $649.99.

If accurate, this would position the LEGO Pokémon flagship set among the largest LEGO kits ever released, ranked between the Star Wars AT-AT (6,785 pieces) and the Millennium Falcon (7,541 pieces).

For context, the current largest LEGO set is the World Map, boasting 11,695 pieces. At this stage, no official information has been disclosed regarding the specific Pokémon or designs featured in these sets.

The details above stem from an unconfirmed leak, though it's worth noting that the Legoleak community has accurately reported on previous high-profile releases, such as the Animal Crossing LEGO sets unveiled earlier this year. Further adding to the excitement, the post suggests a Pokémon-themed "Gift with Purchase" (GWP) set will debut for 18+ fans on February 27, 2025.

Additionally, LEGO Insiders are rumored to gain access to a special "Nintendo-related" reward set for 2,500 Insiders Points on the same day, available for users 12 and up. While fans are eager for more information and an official first look from The Pokémon Company and LEGO Group, it's important to remember that none of these details have been confirmed through official channels.

As of the publication of this article, the only verified announcement is the initial confirmation of the LEGO Pokémon partnership. Collectors and enthusiasts are advised to watch for updates from Nintendo Direct presentations or the official LEGO and Pokémon Company channels.

With a potential release date aligning with the Pokémon anniversary, anticipation is running high for this major collaboration on Nintendo Switch hardware as well as the ever-popular LEGO eShop platform.

Stay tuned for more verified information as we approach the expected reveal in the coming months.
