The report, attributed to the leaker known online as got.cooped and initially discussed by Nintendo Life reporter Liam Doolan, is being treated as a rumor pending official confirmation from LEGO or The Pokémon Company.
Background and franchise context
Pokémon is a long-running multimedia franchise managed by The Pokémon Company and closely associated with Nintendo and developer Game Freak on the video-game side.
LEGO has previously developed interactive product lines that pair physical bricks with electronic or app-driven elements, most notably the LEGO Super Mario range, which uses interactive components to create hybrid physical-digital play experiences.
The term Smart Brick has been used in reporting about LEGO's interactive elements and is cited in the leak as part of the reported Pokémon line.
What the leak says
According to got.cooped, the mystery bags — described as arriving on 1 March 2027 — will retail for $12.99 apiece.
The leaker also indicated the figures inside these blind-pack-style bags will be constructed from standard LEGO bricks, rather than in the Minifigure scale used in many other LEGO lines, a detail the source likened to how some prior LEGO character packs were handled.
No official product photos or promotional images have been posted by LEGO or its retail partners as of the report.
LEGO's recent Smart Play activity
Separately, LEGO has publicly teased five new Smart Play Pokémon products slated to arrive next year; that tease is part of LEGO's larger push into interactive, franchise-based sets.
Coverage about which Pokémon might appear in those Smart Play releases has been published by Nintendo Life and other outlets, and readers are advised to follow official LEGO channels for confirmation.
Attribution and next steps
The claims about the March 2027 release date, $12.99 pricing, and product format come from the got.cooped leak and are being reported as unconfirmed.
Nintendo Life indicated it will provide updates should further, verifiable details emerge.
Until LEGO or The Pokémon Company issues an official announcement, retailers' listings or company press releases should be considered the authoritative source for release dates, pricing, and imagery.
For fans tracking Pokémon merchandise and LEGO's interactive product lines, this rumor aligns with LEGO's recent partnership-style announcements and the wider trend of franchise-focused Smart Play offerings.
Watch official LEGO and Pokémon channels for confirmations and product pages that would provide final specifications and images.
