Multiple LEGO Pokémon sets have reportedly been leaked early online. The collectible toys are allegedly part of the Pokémon franchise’s 30th Anniversary celebration happening later this year.
LEGO Pokémon Kanto Badge Collection Leaked Online
In February, the Pokémon franchise will officially be celebrating its 30th anniversary. The popular Nintendo series specifically made its debut in Japan on February 27, 1996, with the release of Pokémon Red and Green. However, ahead of this year’s celebration, multiple Pokémon LEGO sets have reportedly been leaked online.
Eagle-eyed fans first discovered the new collectibles when product images popped up on international versions of the official LEGO site. A LEGO Pokémon: Kanto Badge Collection, in particular, was leaked on social media after players stumbled upon its product page. The new LEGO set is a re-creation of the iconic Kanto Region Gym Badges that players obtain from the Pokémon Red and Blue games.
What’s Included in the LEGO Pokémon Kanto Badge Set
According to its description, the LEGO Pokémon Kanto Badge Set will include 312 pieces and a display box. Fans will be able to create brick versions of the Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, Rainbow, Soul, Marsh, Volcano and Earth gym badges. While I don’t collect LEGO’s, I have to admit this is definitely setting off my nostalgia.
“Show off your battle prowess and trainer skills with the LEGO Pokémon Kanto Region Badge Collection Display Box (40892). Inside, you’ll find all eight Pokémon badges from the Kanto region: Rock, Waterfall, Thunder, Rainbow, Soul, Marsh, Volcano, and Ground—instantly recognizable to any Pokémon fan. Take them out to show off to another Pokémon enthusiast. Or store them safely inside the box, secured with a Poké Ball-inspired clasp. The set contains 312 pieces.”
More LEGO Pokémon 30th Anniversary Sets Leaked
At the time of writing, there is no release date for the Lego Pokémon Kanto Badge Collection. However, it’s believed that the set will be announced as part of the Pokémon 30th Anniversary celebration next month. So, in terms of when these could be in stores, it’s likely to be after February 27, 2026.
However, a second Lego Pokémon set was also leaked following the Kanto Badge Collection surfacing online. The set is called Pikachu and Poké Ball. Fans will be able to re-create the lovable Pokémon mascot jumping out of a giant Poké Ball while entering battle. Unlike the Kanto Badges, the Lego Pikachu set is much bigger and includes a staggering 2,050 pieces in total.
LEGO Pokémon Set Release Date and Price Speculation
While no official pricing has been leaked, many speculate that the LEGO Pikachu and Poké Ball set will cost over $200. The price range, of course, is based on other LEGO sets with similar amounts of pieces currently being sold at retailers.
The sets could also be revealed during the Pokémon Day celebration happening on Friday, February 27, 2026. With multiple collectibles looking to be announced soon, players are going to need a lot of money if they want to collect them all.
