More from Billboard
If you grew up in the 90s and early 2000s , then this collection will mean a lot to you, considering all the Pokémon featured in this three-piece collection are all Generation One, meaning they’re all from the original 151 creatures featured in the first generation of Pokémon games.
You’ve got all the familiar faces from Pikachu and Eevee to the water, grass and fire type starters all evolved, including Blastoise, Charizard and Venusaur. In the Billboard sphere , Pokemon tracks from films like Pokémon: The First Movie and Pokémon: 2.B.A. Masters have all charted at some point and, of course, the iconic Pokémon theme endures in popularity to this day.
These fan-favorite characters have been transformed into brick sets, all of which are available now on Lego’s website . Sets include the Pikachu popping out of a Poké Ball for $199.99 , the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise trio for $649.99 and the Eevee figure for $59.99 . Each set is incredibly detailed, true to the characters to a tee.

The sets serve as decor items and a joyful pastime when building. Our favorite has to be the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise Lego Set, which evokes memories of booting up a Nintendo DS, popping in Pokémon Diamond and choosing between starters, weighing options between a fire type or grass type before taking on the adventure of a lifetime.
If you’re wondering, ShopBillboard is totally a fan of grass types. The $649.99 set features all three starters fully evolved, standing on a pedestal with scenery that evokes each Pokémon’s power. Charizard is flying over a volcano because he’s a fire type, while Venusaur is standing in a flower patch because he’s a grass type and finally, Blastoise is a water type, so he’s standing on a geyser.
Pikachu’s set is equally adorable, seeing the electric type Pokémon leaping out of a Poké Ball, making the set look so lifelike. Pikachu isn’t a starter, but he’s a beloved character, especially thanks to the Pokémon cartoons in which he’s featured a ton alongside his buddy Ash Ketchum.

If you’re looking for a more affordable option, the Eevee Lego Set for $59.99 is your best bet. The Gen One Pokémon has tons of personality and is beloved by all in the Pokémon fandom for its sweet personality and many Eeveelutions, or Eevee evolutions . The set seems pretty straightforward to build, seemingly the easiest of the three, and looks almost lifelike in its disposition.
