Misunderstood
on March 5, 2026
Posted by: SeniorSternMop
Verified Purchase:No
By far the best set Lego has released to date. Anyone not happy with this due to not receiving the Gift With Purchase should be ashamed. The set itself is outstanding and just for not receiving something that was *FREE* to begin with should not rob themselves of the joy and meaning behind this set. It took 30 years for this colab to happen. Set aside your inner childish traume, don’t throw a tantrum, and enjoy this amazing build. You won’t regret the outcome!
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love everything about this set. The trio looks amazing. Looking at this set takes me back to 1996 I remember like it was yesterday when the first episode aired and I've been hooked ever since. I have a happy core memory that im able to display and enjoy. Thank you Lego!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nostalgia at its finest
on March 19, 2026
Posted by: MillennialFalcon1981
Verified Purchase:No
Firstly, while I sympathize with those who feel duped or tricked that they did not receive either of the free gifts, that has no bearing on this set or the rating it should receive. Every one of these 1 star ratings are petty and childish.
Now, the real review. I had immense fun putting this together, nostalgia aside. There are some little hidden bits inside each pokemon that I found to be a nice touch.
I took my sweet time and stretched the build out over about four days. It's been a nice distraction for me during an unexpected week off of work and has served as a great way to relive some stress. And thank you a thousand times for not giving me any stickers to apply. The colors are vibrant and fun and despite being three separate characters and bases, they all come together beautifully as one unit. Yes, charizards stand is boring compared to the other two, but it's really not meant to stand alone. I think maybe a bit more of a plume of fire or even some smoke that covered the black post joining charizard to the base would have looked more complete.
That aside, this was a fun build and I'd recommend it to any pokemon fan of any age.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Way too expensive, if you think this is worth you’re just coping.

Great product, with the premium price
on February 28, 2026

Verified Purchase:No
I grew up watching Pokémon as a kid and this set brings back memories. I like how you can detach from the base the pokemon to display on their own. A lot of people complain that the base is unnecessary and adds too much to the price point but I think the product wouldn’t feel as premium if it weren’t for the base.
Please do a Gyarados set next!!

Verified Purchase:No
My husband actually bought this set for himself, so he is the person enjoying the build. I love the fact that the Pokemon characters used are from the original set, but….are there plans for more? After all, gotta catch ‘em all!
I would recommend this to a friend!
