    It only took 25 years. I’m not even a pokemon fan but I’m curious what their sets would look like. I have been tempted by a couple of the Mega Bloks sets though, and I even got one of the mystery pokeball sets and ended up getting Bulbasaur.

    Mega Blocks already have this covered. I’m curious to know what major differences there’d be to justify the inevitably high cost of the Lego branded versions

      The most major difference will be quality and less reliance on custom blocks?

      We bought some of the Mega Blocks Pokemons for my SiL’s kids and you can feel that the quality just isn’t on par with Lego

        I’m currently working on the Charmander with my daughter. The quality feels fine, but I’ll definitely be curious to try out a lego one when it releases

    Seeing Lego just milking brands is pretty disappointing.

        Loved those games and the sets even though the latter came with a few huge pieces and empty spaces. That certainly didn’t sit well with everyone.

      I don’t mind them having themed sets based on popular IP it’s just I wish they would do some larger sets.

      Personally I dropped some serious cash on the Lego USS Enterprise, hell they could even do Lego Expense, why are they doing boring small scale stuff?

        Because not everyone is going to or wants to drop serious cash for a big set. Some people don’t have the space or whatever the reasoning may be.

        Also, imo The Expanse is a bit too adult for Lego to adapt. But they did make an ornithopter from Dune (the new one, complete with a floating Baron Harkonnen minifig), so who knows.

          A little shuttlecraft wouldn’t be big. I’m just saying that they should give themselves the options to expand.
