It’s only been one day since the upcoming Pokémon LEGO sets went up for preorder, but the most expensive one has already sold out. Preorders for the $650 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise LEGO set are now unavailable — though you can still preorder the Eevee and Pikachu and Poké Ball sets, which are considerably less expensive. If you were hoping to grab the pricy set, however, all hope is not lost. It will be available to order again at release, on February 27.
That’s the day all three Pokémon LEGO sets will ship. These are the first Pokémon-themed sets LEGO has ever produced, and demand appears to be high. All three sets are currently exclusive to the LEGO Store, so that’s your only retailer option if you’re interested in purchasing them.
If it stays in stock, purchases of the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set will also come with the Kanto Region Badge Collection set as a free Gift With Purchase. And if you’re a LEGO Insider (you can sign up here for free) with 2,500 loyalty points to spare, you’ll be able to exchange those points for a Mini Pokémon Center set starting February 26.
By the way, if you’re interested in ordering the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set, you might want to set a reminder for 12 a.m. Eastern Time on February 27. Midnight is when new sets come available, and sought-after sets like this often don’t stay in stock for long. You’ll want to get your order in as soon as possible to ensure you get one.
The year is young, but it’s already shaping up to be an exciting year for LEGO fans. A whole bunch of awesome LEGO sets released in January already, and a number of cool upcoming sets have been announced. Four LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight sets are coming out in March alongside the release of the video game. March is also when the first three LEGO Smart Play Star Wars sets will be available, featuring interactive features that have never been possible before in LEGO sets.
