Introduction
The Pokémon Company and LEGO Group are expanding their Pokémon-branded product line with a new wave of adult-focused LEGO sets.
Three builds — Arcanine, Rayquaza and Munchlax — are scheduled to arrive on 1 August, joining the recently announced Smart Brick range.
Two further 18+ sets, the Up-Scaled Red Minifigure and the Iconic Trainer Moments Pokéball, are due in October and are already available to pre-order on the official LEGO website.
Release dates, SKUs and pricing
- Arcanine: released 1 August — £89.99
- Rayquaza: released 1 August — £119.99
- Munchlax: released 1 August — £59.99
- Up-Scaled Red Minifigure: released in October — £69.99 (pre-order live on LEGO.com)
- Iconic Trainer Moments Pokéball: released in October — £229.99 (pre-order live on LEGO.com)
These sets are marketed as 18+ builds, reflecting LEGO’s continued focus on adult collectors and display-quality models.
What’s been revealed so far
LEGO YouTuber Tiago Catarino published a close-up video walkthrough that provides the most detailed public look at the three August releases.
The footage highlights the printed instruction booklets and several small build details and easter eggs.
Notably, Catarino’s coverage shows a nod to Munchlax’s Pokédex number hidden inside the set’s tree-stump element.
Journalistic note on coverage tone
Jim Norman, writing about the wave of sets, captured collector enthusiasm with the headline "Gotta buy 'em all," a play on Pokémon’s long-running tagline that speaks to collector interest in these adult-focused models.
Context for collectors and fans
The Pokémon franchise remains closely associated with Nintendo platforms — most recently with titles like Pokémon Scarlet and Violet on Nintendo Switch — but these LEGO releases target physical-collectible markets rather than software.
The new builds continue LEGO and The Pokémon Company’s collaboration to offer premium sets aimed at older fans and collectors.
Availability and where to buy
All five sets are listed on LEGO’s official site, with the August trio arriving on 1 August and the two premium 18+ sets scheduled for October release and available for preorder now.
Retail pricing is shown in GBP and may vary by region or retailer.
Conclusion
The August release of Arcanine, Rayquaza and Munchlax and the October follow-ups expand LEGO’s adult-focused Pokémon offerings.
With official prices and preorder windows confirmed on LEGO.com, collectors have clear purchase and release information as these sets roll out.
