We’re nonetheless ready for the official phrase on what subsequent 12 months’s Pokémon LEGO assortment will seem like, however a current leak means that one thing large is perhaps on the horizon (thanks, VGC).
Over the weekend, a brand new submit appeared on the r/Legoleak Reddit discussion board from consumer CarterBricks04, claiming to have details about the upcoming assortment’s first three units. In line with the submit, these units will go on normal launch on 1st March, with LEGO Insiders getting early dibs from twenty seventh February (which simply so occurs to be the collection’ thirtieth anniversary). What’s extra, they’re all apparently 18+ builds.
The true juicy a part of this ‘leak’, nonetheless, is within the units’ supposed costs and piece counts. The submit claims that one set will measure in at 587 items with a $59.99 price ticket, one other will price $199.99 and can include 2,050 items, whereas the final will function… look forward to it… 6,838 items for the eye-watering sum of $649.99.
There isn’t any indication of what these units will probably be, however for reference, that final one’s piece rely would make it the seventh-largest LEGO set launched so far, placing it between the Star Wars AT-AT (6,785 items) and Millennium Falcon (7,541 items) units.

That is nonetheless nothing greater than a hearsay in the meanwhile, and whereas the Legoleak group has been on the cash concerning the Animal Crossing LEGO units previously, the official particulars for the Pokémon assortment go no additional than the preliminary announcement.
