Children loved the Smart Play feature and the level was perfect for their age range.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Umm ok

7 year old received set as a gift for his birthday. No smart brick included, ok. Went hunting to find the smart brick. Not offered for sale individually. Seriously Lego? Smart play compatable but you're not going to offer the compatable piece. Seriously? Why even advertise and include the smart play tiles then? They're useless. Thanks for nothing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, we're sorry you're disappointed with a SMART Brick™ not being included in this set, you can find SMART Bricks™ in our All-In-One sets #72164 Training House with Pikachu and #72167 Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle. We'll pass your comments along to our design team to help with future sets!

Pokémon, So much Fun!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My niece loves Charmander so this was a super exciting build for her! I let her take the lead and just assisted with some of the trickier bits. The Smart Play cube added some excitement to the build. It was the perfect way to spend a rainy day.

Such a fun set- Charmander makes it even better!
on August 30, 2026
Posted by: JenniferR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Lego Pokémon Charmander and Geodude's cavern clash smart play set was a huge hit with my kids! Charmander is one of their absolute favorite Pokémon characters, so they were excited about this set before they even started building it. One of the things that I'm impressed me most was how kid friendly the build was. My 6 year old and almost 8 year old built this entire set together with no assistance from me, and they had so much fun doing it. There are so many cool little details throughout the cavern, and once everything comes together, it makes an awesome display, as well as a really fun playset. The smart play feature was definitely their favorite part. They thought it was so cool that this set could react to how they moved and played with it. It adds a completely different level of interaction, compared to a traditional Lego set and kept them playing with it long after the build was finished. Between Charmander, Geodude, the cavern details, and the interactive smart play features, there is so much to love about this set. My kids have had an absolute blast with it, and having their favorite character, Charmander, as part of the set, made it even more special. Definitely one of their favorite Pokémon Lego sets!

Easy to follow instructions
on August 30, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Lego Pokémon Charmander and Geodude’s Cavern Clash set includes four bags of numbered Lego sets. For purposes of this review, I will focus on the first bag.
Instructions were overall very easy to follow. Step 18 was a little less obvious where some of the pieces went. Majority of pieces were easy to easy to assemble. Bag 1/Charmander took approximately ten minutes to assemble.
Note this set is Smart Play compatible but does NOT include a smart brick.
I received this product complimentary from Influenster in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Encouraged lots of additional play after the build
on August 24, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My son enjoyed the LEGO Pokémon Charmander and Geodude's Cavern Clash. The cave theme makes a great little setting for imaginative Pokémon battles, and the movable characters are adorable. The action features were the best part for him. Geodude can actually send pieces flying, which of course my eight year old loves, and the break-apart rock and hidden crystal gave him something to actively do with the set once he was finished building it. It's a relatively small set, but there is a surprising amount of play packed into it. A great addition to the other LEGO Pokémon SMART Play sets! He mixed this with a couple of the other Pokémon sets for a mega melee.

So fun but wish all had smart bricks
on August 18, 2026

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this in exchange for my honest review. I love Lego brand because the booklets are so incredibly detailed and have easy to folllow instructions. I love that the Legos are in recycled packaging as well and no plastics. Very conscientious and eco friendly. My son and I had so much fun building this. We found that this didn’t come with the smart bricks and only certain builds came with them so I went searching how to get more and is unfortunate to find you can’t buy just smart bricks themselves. You can only purchase them through the bigger and more expensive builds. So if you get this smaller build you can’t experience the interactive capabilities that they can use when paired with the smart bricks. Still very fun but I think they all should have them or you should be able to purchase separately so all characters can have one.

Thank you for sharing your building experience with us and we're so glad to hear you and your son had fun building your set. You're correct, SMART Bricks only come with the All-in-one sets as these sets are a great starter for all Pokémon Trainers with everything, they need to begin their journey. You can then expand your play by adding SMART Brick compatible sets and recruit new Pokémon to your team! Find out more over at LEGO.build/PokemonLineup.

Great little set

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My 12 year old quickly put this set together in far less than an hour. She loves the figures. This set does not include the smart brick but we already have one from a previous set. Overall great set!
