Lego has selected five finalists from hundreds of fan submissions for Trading Card Game-inspired building sets featuring Pokémon. The designs show popular creatures emerging from cards.
The finalists include sets centered on Arceus, Rowlet, Gyarados, Mew, and Joltik. Each entry depicts a Pokémon appearing to pop out of a card frame, drawing from dynamic artwork in modern Pokémon cards and the immersive style of Pokémon Trading Card Pocket.
The Lego Group and The Pokémon Company have revealed 12 new sets that incorporate the Lego Smart Play System. The sets go on sale August 1 with pre-orders available now.

LEGO and Pokémon have unveiled their next collaboration sets, which include blocky models of Rayquaza, Arcanine and Munchlax. A $300 recreation of Professor Oak’s lab and an oversized Red minifigure are also part of the wave. Most sets launch August 1.
GameStop has started taking pre-orders for the Pokémon 30th anniversary trading card set at prices well above typical retail levels. The move follows similar actions by other retailers and has drawn criticism from collectors.
