Fans Impression to LEGO Pokémon Collaboration
The announcement of this collaboration was met with tremendous enthusiasm from the LEGO and Pokémon fan communities around the world.
Many have been anticipating this moment for years, given the popularity of both franchises.
Several fans expressed their excitement at finally getting an official Pokémon set from LEGO, which they considered to be of better quality and polish than previous Mega Construx sets.
The Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise sets were particularly praised for their dramatic detail and ability to showcase Pokémon in battle poses.
However, the largest set's price of $649.99 was considered "staggering" and potentially prohibitive for many collectors.
Even so, the more affordable Eevee set ($59.99) is seen as an attractive alternative that is accessible to a wider range of fans.
