Pokémon’s 30th anniversary is coming right up, and to help celebrate, a trio of Pokémon LEGO sets is now available. There’s an adorable Eevee, a dynamic Pikachu, and a pricy (yet incredible) set depicting Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. All sets are now available to purchase, exclusively at the LEGO Store.

For the Pokémon connoisseur with deep pockets, this set is a thing to behold. It finds evolved versions of the Kanto starters posing in their own little biomes. You can even take the Pokémon out of the build to pose them individually if that’s more your style. We had the chance to build this set and it’s one of the coolest things we’ve done in a while.
Preorders of this set sold out fast, so don’t expect this new batch to last long. I expect the other two sets to fare better because of their lower price points, but you never know.

Eevee is one of the most adorable Pokémon, and this LEGO version is definitely going to be popular. We built this set, so you can check out our full impressions over there. Long story short, it’s a gorgeously designed set that manages to turn a pile of blocks into a smooth and fluffy-looking critter. In addition to the loveliness of this set, the price is right as well.

Pikachu is the OG when it comes to Pokémon, so it’s completely understandable if you’d rather pick up this set. It’s a more dynamic build in that the Poké mascot is leaping on a lightning bolt from a Poké Ball. You can build this set with either the male or female tail.
If you do miss out on the Kanto Pokémon set, it’s likely that it will become available again at some point. Oftentimes with popular sets, the LEGO Store maintains exclusivity for two months before they become available at Amazon and other retailers. Even if not, you can often sign up to be notified via email when the set comes back into stock. It just might take a few weeks or months. Now for a rundown of each of the sets.
Poké fans have plenty of other ways to celebrate the 30th anniverary of our pocket monster friends. These include but are not limited to: a special Pokémon edition of Time Magazine, complete with three different covers; a 30th anniversary Pokémon TCG collection; and no fewer than 1,025 new anniversary logos. Wild times.
And if you haven’t already spent all of your discretionary income on Pokémon LEGO sets, you will have a lot more new sets to pick form come March. We’re talking Sauron’s helmet, Winnie the Pooh, four new LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight sets, and a whole lot more.
