Overview
- Preorders on Lego.com are active for all three sets, and the large Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise build that sold out on day one has been restocked, with shipping set for February 27.
- The lineup spans Eevee (587 pieces, $59.99), Pikachu with a Poké Ball (2,050 pieces, $199.99), and the 6,838-piece flagship featuring the Kanto starters ($649.99).
- Lego used a virtual queue to manage traffic during the preorder rush, resale listings have appeared with marked-up prices, and some flagship preorders included a Kanto Region Badge Collection gift.
- Lego retail locations are preparing for strong demand, with the Houston Galleria store expecting 50 to 100 sets at launch and planning to scale orders thereafter.
- All three sets carry an 18+ recommendation and launch in conjunction with Pokémon’s 30th anniversary focus on longtime fans and collectors.
