Lego and Pokemon are officially teaming up. This crossover has been in the works for a while, and fans like me are extremely excited. Now for the first time, you can build iconic Pokemon characters out of classic Lego bricks. These sets are designed for display as much as for the build itself.
The debut lineup focuses on highly detailed designs of some of the most popular Pokemon out there. But be warned, these are intense, large-build sets designed for ages 18 and up to enjoy. Want to lock in your favorite set? They are available to preorder now.
That being said, fans on a budget might find Lego's preorder prices intimidating to buy. The good news? Mega is offering a 529-piece with poseable figures of Charmander, Pikachu and Meowth for just $20 at Amazon right now, down from $35. This set is made for ages 7 and up and is great for fans of all ages. It's available now, so you won't have to wait to catch three of the most popular Pokemon characters.
Three Pokemon sets are launching on Feb. 27, at both Lego stores and online. Each set is made with dynamic poses in mind to capture the full personality of the Pokemon. These include an Eevee set, a Pikachu and Poke Ball set and the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise collector set. Prices start at $60 and range up to $650, with quantities varying from 587 pieces to a whopping 6,838 pieces.
And if you preorder the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set, it will come with a free gift -- a Lego Pokémon Kanto Region Badge Collection valued at $30. Just note that this offer is only valid while supplies last.
Why these deals matter
This new Lego collection is a great chance to show off your favorite classic Pokemon. Preorders are available now, ahead of the Feb. 27 launch. Additionally, you can get free gear with your purchase of the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise collector set but only while supplies last, so act soon to guarantee your free gift.
The Mega blocks deal is also a good buy for anyone on a budget who'd rather not wait to start building their favorite characters now. It's only $20 and great for kids. Considering its price and $15 discount, we'd move fast to secure this deal.
