LEGO Pokémon Sets: All 20 on lego.com, $14.99 to $649.99

Twenty LEGO Pokémon sets were on sale on lego.com on October 24, 2026, and the catch hides in the kids' half: only 2 of the 12 SMART Play sets come with the SMART Brick that makes them interactive. For an adult collector, the choice is simpler: eight display models, all in stock, from a $59.99 Eevee to a $649.99 trio.

How we picked: every product on lego.com's US Pokémon theme page, read on Oct 24 with each product page opened; the $5.99 key chain is left out because it is not a building set. Display models are ranked by price per piece, SMART Play sets by whether they work out of the box. We haven't built these sets; build impressions below are quoted from builders who have.

LEGO Pokémon sets: the quick answer

There are 20 LEGO Pokémon building sets on lego.com: 8 display models (72150 to 72168 plus 40868) and 12 SMART Play sets (72155 to 72167). The display line costs $1,599.92 for all eight; the SMART Play line costs $659.88 for all twelve.

Overview: how we built the list

lego.com's Pokémon theme page showed "Showing 21 of 21" after we pressed Load More. One product is the 854332 Red Key Chain, which leaves 20 building sets. We opened every product page for price, pieces, age mark, rating, order limit and stock, and used the header rating rather than the smaller number on the theme tiles.

Launch dates come from the LEGO newsroom. The first three sets were revealed in January and went on sale on February 27. Arcanine, Munchlax and Rayquaza followed on August 1, then the Poké Ball and the Up-Scaled Red Minifigure on October 1. The twelve SMART Play sets also launched on August 1.

Price per piece is our arithmetic, the list price divided by lego.com's piece count. You can run any set through our price-per-piece calculator. Our Pokémon theme page tracks the sets lego.com lists there.

The 8 LEGO Pokémon display sets, ranked by price per piece

The spread is narrow. Seven of the eight sit between 8.6 and 10.2 cents a piece, so price per piece barely separates them; size, figures and shelf space do.

1. 40868 Up-Scaled Red Minifigure ($79.99, 930 pieces)

The only display model not marked 18+: lego.com says 10+. It is a minifigure of Trainer Red scaled up to over 10 in. (27 cm) high, and it was the cheapest per piece in the theme at 8.6 cents.

Pick for: a fan who wants Red on the shelf, or a gift for a teenager. Why: 8.6 cents a piece, the lowest of the 20. The catch: no Pokémon in the box, only the Trainer and his Poké Ball.

2. 72160 Arcanine ($109.99, 1,190 pieces)

lego.com lists a posable tail, legs, feet, head and mouth. At 9.2 cents a piece it ties Munchlax as the cheapest 18+ set, with 433 more pieces.

Pick for: an adult who wants one mid-size Pokémon. Why: 9.2 cents a piece and a 4.8 rating. The catch: only 9 reviews so far, and an order limit of 2.

3. 72150 Munchlax ($69.99, 757 pieces)

The figure sits on a tree stump with an apple and 2 apple cores. It had a perfect 5 from 6 reviews, one of the smallest samples in the table.

Pick for: a small desk build. Why: the same 9.2 cents a piece as Arcanine for $40 less. The catch: six reviews are not a verdict.

4. 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise ($649.99, 6,838 pieces)

The flagship, revealed in the LEGO newsroom as over 20 in. (50 cm) high and 21 in. (54 cm) wide. lego.com describes Jungle, Volcano and Beach biomes that join into one display, and each figure lifts off to stand alone. It earns 4,225 Insiders points; at 650 points to $5, that is about $32.50 back by our arithmetic.

It also splits opinion. lego.com shows 4.0 from 100 reviews, 16% of them one-star, and a Value for Money score of 3.6. Brick Fanatics, reviewing a copy LEGO provided, called it "well-crafted and fun to assemble, but feels bloated with extraneous material". A lego.com reviewer named Kevin, who used $100 of Insiders points on it, wrote in May: "even at $650, I still think it's worth picking up if you're a big fan of Pokemon and Lego, and you can afford it!"

Pick for: the fan who wants the Kanto starters together. Why: 6,838 pieces at 9.5 cents each, cheaper per piece than Pikachu. The catch: $649.99 is 28.8% of what all 20 sets cost together.

5. 72152 Pikachu and Poké Ball ($199.99, 2,050 pieces)

Pikachu leaps from an open Poké Ball on a lightning-bolt stand, and the tail swaps between male and female forms. The base shows a "25", Pikachu's Pokédex number, per the LEGO newsroom. LEGO designer Siddharth Muthyala explained the problem plainly: "Pikachu is round, curved and cute", which is "not easy to do in LEGO bricks that are hard, square and sharp."

Pick for: the one-set buyer. Why: the best-known Pokémon at 9.8 cents a piece, 4.5 from 52 reviews. The catch: over 13.5 in. (35 cm) tall, so it needs a deep shelf.

6. 72151 Eevee ($59.99, 587 pieces)

The cheapest display set and the most reviewed after the trio, with 70. LEGO designer Ilia Gotlib said the team developed "two new bow elements" for the sides of Eevee's head.

Pick for: a first LEGO Pokémon build. Why: $59.99 and a 4.8 rating from 70 reviews. The catch: 10.2 cents a piece, above Munchlax and Arcanine.

7. 72168 Rayquaza ($129.99, 1,083 pieces)

Rayquaza coils above the Sky Pillar on a cloud-topped base, with a Zinnia minifigure holding a Mega Stone. lego.com gives it over 15 in. (38 cm) tall. We compared it with the $179.99 LEGO Icons Shenron in our Dragon Ball Shenron & Goku 11390 guide.

Image: The LEGO Group (lego.com)

Pick for: the fan of Legendary Pokémon. Why: over 15 in. (38 cm) tall for $129.99, taller than the $199.99 Pikachu. The catch: 12.0 cents a piece, second dearest in the line.

8. 72154 Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball ($299.99, 2,386 pieces)

The ball opens to a battle scene below and Professor Oak's laboratory above, with Red, Picnicker, Professor Oak, Eevee and Pikachu inside. Its piece count depends on who you ask. The LEGO newsroom gave 2,339 in its notes and 2,368 in the text; lego.com and StoneWars say 2,386. We use lego.com's number.

Image: The LEGO Group (lego.com)

Pick for: a minifigure fan; LEGO's July announcement called these its first Pokémon Trainer minifigures. Why: five characters in one display. The catch: 12.6 cents a piece, the most of the eight.

LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets: which ones include the brick

The SMART Play sets are built for children, marked 6+ to 10+. The interactive part comes from a SMART Brick, which lego.com says can "Recognize SMART Tags, motion and more." lego.com sells them in two kinds. "All-in-One" sets include the brick and a charger. "Compatible" sets say "SMART Brick not included" and add only tags.

Read the price-per-piece column with that in mind. The two most expensive per piece among the bigger sets, 72164 at 17.5 cents and 72167 at 16.0, are the two that carry the electronics. The $14.99 Jigglypuff Concert has 88 pieces and one tag; on its own it is a small build.

Not every family uses the brick at all. JacquelynM, who received 72164 free through Influenster, wrote in a lego.com review: "We chose not to use the smart brick feature as this requires downloading an app, takes two hours to charge". For a younger child who just wants Pikachu's house, that is a real option.

Analysis: which LEGO Pokémon set to buy first

For an adult, price per piece will not decide it, because seven of the eight display sets fall within 1.6 cents of each other. Pick by the Pokémon and the shelf. Pikachu is the safe single set. Arcanine and Munchlax are the value picks. The trio is the statement piece, and it is the one where buyers disagree most. Even its fans grumble: MillennialFalcon1981, a five-star reviewer, wrote that "charizards stand is boring compared to the other two".

For a child, decide on the SMART Brick first. Buy 72164 or 72167 before any Compatible set, or the tags in the cheaper boxes have nothing to talk to. A parent who buys the $19.99 Charmander set alone gets a 198-piece build with two tags and no brick.

Desk note: our catalog read the seven 18+ Pokémon sets on lego.com 12 times between Oct 10 and Oct 23, and all seven read Available now every time; our change log has no entry for any of them. On Oct 24 the product pages said the same. Nothing in this theme is selling out on lego.com right now, so there is no reason to rush.

Retirement follows the same logic. lego.com shows no Retiring soon badge on any of the 21 products. StoneWars lists December 31, 2027 for Munchlax, Arcanine, Rayquaza and the Poké Ball, and the last day of 2028 for Up-Scaled Red; Brick Fanatics gives the same end-of-2027 date for the trio. Those are fan-site dates, not LEGO's. Our guide on how to tell if a LEGO set is retiring explains the badge to watch for.

One timing note: until Oct 27, lego.com's gifts with purchase unlock at over $40 (a Fun Halloween Skeleton) and over $120 (a Celebration Series Luminous Ghost). Pikachu clears both thresholds; Eevee clears only the first.

Our take

Buy Pikachu and Poké Ball first; buy the $649.99 trio only if you want all three starters. Pikachu costs $199.99 at 9.8 cents a piece with a 4.5 rating, while the trio's Value for Money score is 3.6 and 16% of its reviews are one-star.

Buy now if you want a set before the October gifts with purchase end on the 27th. Skip or wait if you are price-shopping: every set is in stock, and none is badged.

What we don't know yet: LEGO hasn't said when any Pokémon set retires, or what comes next for the theme. On our watchlist: we re-read the Pokémon theme page at each catalog fetch and will update this list when a badge, a price or a stock label changes.

This take uses only the lego.com data and sources cited above, checked Oct 24, 2026.

How we checked this

On Oct 24 we read lego.com's US Pokémon theme page in a headless desktop browser, pressed Load More until it showed 21 of 21, and opened all 21 product pages for price, pieces, age, rating, order limit, stock and SMART Brick contents. We read the LEGO newsroom posts from January and July, the LEGO designer interview, StoneWars' July 7 wave report and Brick Fanatics' February 26 review of 72153. Stock history comes from our own catalog reads since Oct 10. Reddit was not reachable through our archive tool that day, so community quotes are lego.com customer reviews. A second pass matched every number here against our source table.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many LEGO Pokémon sets are there? Twenty building sets on lego.com on October 24, 2026: 8 display models (seven 18+ and the 10+ Up-Scaled Red Minifigure) and 12 SMART Play sets for children. The theme page lists 21 products because it also sells a $5.99 Red Key Chain. All 20 sets read Available now that day.

What is the biggest LEGO Pokémon set? 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise, with 6,838 pieces at $649.99. LEGO gives its size as over 20 in. (50 cm) high and 21 in. (54 cm) wide. By our arithmetic it costs about 9.5 cents a piece, slightly less per piece than the $199.99 Pikachu and Poké Ball.

Only two of the twelve do. 72164 Training House with Pikachu ($69.99) includes one SMART Brick and 72167 Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle ($119.99) includes two. The other ten product pages say "SMART Brick not included", so they need a brick from one of those sets.
