LEGO $650 Pokémon Set Sells Out During Preorder

The $650 LEGO set featuring Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise has sold out during the preorder phase, just one day after the sets became available. While preorders for the expensive set are currently unavailable, customers can still preorder the Eevee and Pikachu sets or the Poké Ball set, which are priced lower.

The sold-out set will be available for purchase again on February 27, which is the official release date for all three Pokémon themes. These are the first Pokémon-themed sets ever produced by LEGO, and they are currently exclusive to the LEGO Store. Customers purchasing the $650 set on release day will receive the Kanto Region Badge Collection as a free Gift With Purchase.

Additionally, LEGO Insider members with 2,500 loyalty points can exchange them for a Mini Pokémon Center set starting February 26. Due to high demand, the set is expected to sell out quickly upon release, particularly at 12 a.m. Eastern Time when new sets typically become available.

Preorders for the upcoming Pokémon LEGO sets went live just one day ago, but the most expensive option has already sold out. The Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set, priced at $650, is currently listed as unavailable for preorder. This high demand reflects the significance of the release, as these are the first Pokémon-themed sets LEGO has ever produced.

Despite the sell-out, all hope is not lost for collectors. The set will be restocked on the official release date, February 27. At that time, the set will be available for purchase alongside the other sets in the collection. Currently, the following sets are still available for preorder:

• The Eevee and Pikachu set
• The Poké Ball set
• The Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set (at release)

It is important to note that all three sets are currently exclusive to the LEGO Store. No other retailers are stocking these items at this time, making the official LEGO website the only place to purchase them.

Customers looking to secure the $650 set on release day should prepare for a competitive purchasing window. New LEGO sets typically become available at midnight, and sought-after sets often do not stay in stock for long. Specifically, the set will be available at 12 a.m. Eastern Time on February 27. Setting a reminder for this time is recommended to ensure an order is placed immediately.

There are specific incentives for purchasing the sold-out set once it restocks. If the set remains in stock during the purchase process, buyers will receive the Kanto Region Badge Collection set as a free Gift With Purchase. This bonus item is included with the purchase of the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set.

Furthermore, LEGO Insider members have an additional opportunity. Members who have accumulated 2,500 loyalty points can exchange them for a Mini Pokémon Center set. This redemption option begins on February 26, one day before the official product release.

The year has started with significant activity for LEGO fans, with several major releases already launched in January. The demand for the Pokémon collection suggests a strong market for themed sets. Looking ahead, LEGO has announced several other high-profile collaborations scheduled for the coming months.

In March, the company plans to release four sets based on LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight. These sets will coincide with the release of the video game of the same name. Also in March, the first three LEGO Smart Play Star Wars sets will become available. These sets are notable for featuring interactive capabilities that have not been possible in previous LEGO sets.
