Well, that didn’t take long. Barely a month after LEGO unveiled 12 Pokémon SMART Play sets, the brick-building giant is back with another evolution. This time, though, the new wave is aimed squarely at collectors, with bigger builds, iconic Pokémon, and perhaps the biggest surprise of all: the first-ever LEGO Pokémon Trainer minifigures.
Leading the charge is the majestic Rayquaza, but it certainly isn’t flying solo. The fiery Arcanine, the forever-hungry Munchlax, and even Trainer Red are all getting the LEGO treatment. Then there’s what could very well be the centerpiece of this wave: the LEGO Pokémon Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball. Not only is it the biggest set of the bunch, but it also packs the first LEGO Pokémon Trainer minifigures—Professor Oak, Red, and Picnicker—along with brick-built Pikachu and Eevee.
As with the previous wave, there’s a nice mix of display pieces and interactive builds. Whether you prefer legendary dragons, fluffy fire dogs, adorable snack addicts, or simply want a giant Poké Ball on your shelf, LEGO probably has your Pokédex covered.
Enough talk. Keep going for the details of each set.
