"As one might have guessed from the lightning bolts on the previous promotional image, one of the debut pocket monsters getting the brick treatment is , complete with a Poké Ball. The 2,050-piece kit can be built to show Pikachu either leaping out of the open Poké Ball into battle or at rest staring up at the builder, closed Poké Ball between his paws. The Pikachu kit costs $200."
"I'm not the biggest Lego builder, but I am a rather accomplished architect in Minecraft, so I am well aware of the innate challenge in constructing a rounded shape from square blocks. Take Pikachu, for instance. Part of his appeal is his chubby little cheeks. There are bricks with more rounded sides in this collection that hint at his usual rotundness, but the proportions of his face just feel a little off to me."
Pre-orders for three Lego Pokémon kits are open with an expected ship date of February 27. The Pikachu set contains 2,050 pieces and includes a Poké Ball; it can be built with Pikachu leaping out of an open Poké Ball or resting with the closed Poké Ball between his paws, priced at $200. A 587-piece model of Eevee retails for $60. A large trio set featuring Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise contains 6,838 pieces and can display the group together or individually in mini environments, priced at $650. The brick designs produce blocky proportions that can make characters look less rounded, with Eevee appearing relatively more faithful.
