5 Foot Lego Gardevoir to go next to the 5 Foot Plush.

 

[Hookshot]

I'd buy a small Bulbasaur if it looked good.

 

[Fbh]

Lego and The Pokemon Company are about to:

 

[Spukc]

just hand me down all OG gen1 pokemon sprites
On a massive board

 

[HRK69]

I'm surprised this doesn't already exist

 

[willothedog]

The Mega bloks contract must've ended.

Previously, Pokémon hitched their wagon to Mega Bloks (knock off LEGO)

I like Lego but not Pokemon, so I will probably not pay attention to any of this. There is a lot of content to mine for Pokemon creatures.

I like some of the Nintendo sets they have done. Like the Question Block.

 

[Killer8]

Mega already did this really well:

 

[Davevil]

my eyes still bleed from this shit

 

[Lambogenie]

Looks like first few sets for adults are revealed. Pikachu is underwhelming/should've been way better, honestly.

Kanto Trio is cool. Crazy Lego prices are what they are at this point, especially for that adult fan group. Display options are quite cool. Not selling separate Pokémon sort of makes sense if solo sets are planned later, but differ in many ways as they would for any separate set sku.

Can't say I can afford the big set. Too bad the badges are locked as a bonus but surely those pieces are easily available/common to build yourself?

 

[jason10mm]

My wife balked at the big set.

Divorce is the only option, right?

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Gen One.

 

[Generic]

I miss when Lego were affordable.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

650 dollars for legos, wtf kind of dick sucking crack are they smoking

 

[Bark]

Gen One.

Pikachu looks like yellow boxed shit.
The Eevee will sell like crack

 

[Robb]

Who approved this goofy monstrosity?

 

[Spukc]

Wel
That
Fucking. Sucked

 

[Roufianos]

Could have made the starter set 1/3 as big and for a third of the price. Ridiculous all around.

 

[InterMusketeer]

The Mega Bloks sets were better than these.

 

[Diddy X]

What criteria do they follow to make these figures, they need to be rounder, squarer, ugly, pretty...?

 

[deriks]

I guess the three main looks nice, also Eeve, but Pikachu is nightmare fuel

 

[Paasei]

Easy millions for Lego. Can't wait to just nose around in the store and see a very long line outside full of 30+ y/o waiting to get their hands on these sets.

 

[Emedan]

I miss when Lego were affordable.

When was Lego affordable? Sets were always the most expensive gifts you could get, at least from what I recall in the 90s.

And regarding the topic - cool!

 

[Mayar]

Once again, LEGO engineers, under license from Nintendo, are creating terrifying fuel for children's nightmares...

 

[Xion_Stellar]

Gen One.

What else did you expect? Any time they do something grand with Pokemon in a new space they have to pander to my generation first (Gen 1/2 Pokemon).

Gen 3 and beyond Pokemon fans can have the scraps after they are done serving us first.

 

[BlackTron]

The Eevee is kind of cool.

Ideal scenario would have been the Mega style sets made in Lego. I've already "crossed off" brick pokemon representation getting their starter 3 and Pikachu for 20 bucks, I'll keep my cool and my $650 lol. I might try to acquire that Blastoise from a broken up set later on though, always liked him and had blue version...

 

[Killer8]

These look like shit compared to the Mega Bloks ones. At first I thought I'd wasted my money on those but I think I've had the last laugh here.

 

[Exede]

easy fix, just close its mouth and its way less weird to look at i think.

 

[Dafegamer]

Before seeing the designs and just the Thread-Title I said "Well this will sell like hotcakes"... Then I clicked.... IDK really

 

[Bark]

Oh, yeah, Charizard with paper wings? The hamburger looking Vinesore?? And the butt ugly Pickachu? I think only Eevee looks good, the rest look like shit.

 

[lughnasadh123]

Are the pokebandits going to try and steal this too?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

That's a one ugly dust collector.

 

[Sticks]

Terrible

 

[Mr Hyde]

Scalpers

 

[Sintoid]

Toys, movies and theme parks

 

[Hookshot]

The trio looks cool, the Pikachu looks shit. Also the gym badges being a pre-order bonus for a $650 set is bullshit.

 

[Dafegamer]

my eyes still bleed from this shit

Legit looks like a pervert that wants to grab your Tits

 

[Saber]

I dunno how the fuck they made Pikachu looks this stupidly bad when Eevee seems to looks fine.

 

[Lambogenie]

Scalpers

I wonder now. Comments have been very much about ugly or crazy expensive. Eevee is probably the only one going to sell out for a breath (it's lego, they resupply so fast), because it looks better than Pikachu, isn't stupid expensive and probably undermade if they thought Pikachu would be the hot seller.

For most people, it's the rumoured sets that have most potential. At least, I'm hyped for a couple if they're true. Those are more likely to be scalped, in my view.

I wonder if Mega sets suddenly went up in price on reseller market after this.

 

[Generic]

Who approved this goofy monstrosity?

I have a bootleg Lego Pikachu that looks better.

 

[AJUMP23]

Those prices are insane on the pokemon. $650 dollar statue.

Lego is becoming too expensive.

Perfect match with Nintendo

Yeah LEGO was never affordable!

Growing up, I was allowed to pick only 1-2 LEGO sets a year for birthdays, Christmas, etc.

And I'd still end up with the cheaper sets from a series most of the time.

This company is making record profits year after year. Amongst all the complaining, they're doing something right?

That Pikachu is horrid, though. Even the Poké Ball looks messed up!

 

[DeepEnigma]

Still a higher poly count than their Switch games.

Nintendo is perfect in every way.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

1 kg of ABS plastic is like 2 dollars. There's no excuse for these prices, even with design, licenses, manufacturing, packaging, and shipping included.

 

[Dr. Samuel Hayden]

Lego price gouging is insane
