There are some collaborations that feel like no-brainers. It took forever for Nintendo and LEGO to link up, so to speak, but after 30 years, Pokémon is finally getting a turn.
Over on X, Pokémon Restocks gave us our first look at the upcoming Pokémon x LEGO collaboration, and old-school fans will be happy.
The first two Pokémon LEGO sets have been officially confirmed:
The Pikachu set is 2050 pieces, and features Pikachu leaping forwards out of a Poke Ball, with a current running from the ball to Pikachu. It's a nice action shot, and the lightning bolt below Pikachu itself is a great touch.
The Kanto Region Badge Collection set, however, caught my eye. It's 312 pieces, so it's much easier to construct, and features all eight original Generation 1 Kanto Region badges in a little box. We don't have multiple images of the set yet, but the box appears to be fully functional, and can close and open with the badges inside.
Currently, details are slim for these two SKUs. There's no price or release date set, since these are early days. Expect more info by Pokémon Day at the latest.
