A leak suggests Lego is preparing a new Pokémon-themed set featuring a Poké Ball that opens to reveal a diorama with minifigures. The set is reportedly set for an August 2026 release at a price of $260. Details remain unconfirmed by Lego or The Pokémon Company.
Reliable Lego leaker Brick Clicker has shared details of an upcoming Pokémon set centered on a Poké Ball, according to reports from Kotaku and GAMES.GG. The set, numbered 72154, is described as a 2,239-piece build rated for ages 18 and up. It would open to display a diorama inside, including minifigures and pre-molded Pokémon figures, though specific Pokémon have not been identified.
The rumored release date is August 1, 2026, aligning with a broader summer window mentioned in leaks. Pricing is cited at $260, continuing Lego's trend of premium costs for licensed Pokémon sets. Earlier this year, Lego revealed initial Pokémon builds following its 2023 partnership with The Pokémon Company, after reclaiming the license from Mega Bloks. Those sets have been praised for quality but criticized for high prices, with comparisons showing significant markups over competitors.
No official confirmation has come from Lego or The Pokémon Company, and details could change. The inclusion of collectible minifigures would appeal to fans, building on the success of prior releases that sold out quickly. Lego's expansion into gaming collaborations, including this set's interactive Poké Ball design, targets both builders and collectors.
Collectors are advised to monitor official channels for announcements, as limited-edition Pokémon items often require pre-orders to secure at retail.
