Pokemon will be getting LEGO blind boxes, according to a new leak online. After years of working with MEGA Bloks to release Pokemon building sets, the franchise pivoted to a partnership with LEGO at the start of 2026. In less than a year, several sets have been offered, with designs based on some of the most popular Pokemon and their Trainers, as well as deeper cuts spanning three decades of video games.
When to Expect LEGO Pokemon Blind Boxes
According to the leaker got.cooped, Pokemon blind boxes will be offered starting on March 1, 2027. Each box will apparently retail for $12.99, but it’s unclear what to expect inside. Some are speculating that the boxes will include builds of Pokemon with Smart Brick compatibility, while others have noted that this would be a perfect way to offer popular Mini Figures of Gym Leaders and Trainers spanning the franchise. Only a few Trainers have gotten that treatment so far, and there are countless characters that fans would still like to see offered.
