LEGO announces exciting partnership for 2026, with new sets on the horizon

In an exciting turn of events for both LEGO and Pokémon enthusiasts, rumours are circulating that LEGO is set to release a series of Pokémon-themed sets in 2023. The news, while unconfirmed, has sent waves of anticipation throughout the LEGO and Pokémon communities.

If the plans come to fruition, these Pokémon LEGO sets are expected to be among the most expensive in LEGO's history. The sets, aimed at adults, will include three options: Set 72151 with 587 pieces priced at $59.99, Set 72152 with 2050 pieces priced at $199.99, and a colossal XXL Set 72153 with 6838 pieces priced at $649.99. This last set would make it one of the most expensive LEGO sets ever released.

The exact details about these Pokémon LEGO sets are still shrouded in mystery, with LEGO yet to officially confirm the information. However, a Reddit leak suggests that the sets are indeed in the works and set for release on March 1, 2023.

It's not just the number of pieces that make these sets potentially expensive. If the prices hold true, they would be among the priciest LEGO sets ever released. This could be a testament to the intricate detail and high-quality materials that LEGO is known for, as well as the enduring popularity of both the Pokémon franchise and LEGO products.

LEGO's success with the Star Wars franchise, both in terms of LEGO sets and the popular LEGO Star Wars video games, bodes well for the potential Pokémon LEGO sets. Fans of both LEGO and Pokémon can look forward to these sets, which are expected to be on a gigantic scale, if the rumours prove to be true.

However, it's important to note that these details are still unconfirmed by LEGO. Fans will have to wait for official announcements from the company to know for sure. But until then, the excitement and speculation surrounding these potential Pokémon LEGO sets continue to grow.
