LEGO finally going after adult collectors with these display sets shows they really get how much nostalgia matters. Starting with first-gen Pokémon like Eevee, Pikachu, and the evolved starters is smart because it hits that emotional connection fans have had for decades.
The sets themselves are really telling. Eevee is simple and approachable, Pikachu is dramatic and eye-catching, and the Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise set is basically a trophy for collectors with almost 7,000 pieces. The pricing and extras like Kanto badges or the mini Pokémon Center make it clear this isn’t just about toys. It’s about giving grown-up fans something special they can display and enjoy.
What’s exciting is the potential here. If this works, we could see way more Pokémon, different regions, and even new build styles. It feels like this could grow into a long-term thing, not just a one-off collaboration.
