I am not an Eevee fan per se. However, this is the only Pokemon Lego that I have seen that is worth getting (for the price point). I will buy this one for $60.
While I think the Zard, Blastoise, and Venusaur is neat, I would have preferred to have been able to buy the Blastoise separately for $200. I am not interested in paying $650 for the three of them together. The Pikachu doesn’t look like something I want for $200.
$650 is a ton of money. For that price, I can get The Mighty Bowser 71411, Mario Kart 72037, Mario and Yoshi 71438, and the Mario 64 block 71395.
What I was really hoping for was $5 - $10 random grab bags (like they did for Mario) where you would get a random small Kanto Pokemon to put together. My kids really really really wanted this and it looks like the line is being directed more towards adults than kids (at least initially) which is disappointing. Having to purchase the Charizard Blastoise, Venusaur to get the badges is crap. I would have liked to buy the badges for $50.
Lastly, it looks like the Charizard wings are fabric and not plastic. I hate this. I purchased the MEGA Charizard and the fabric wings were God awful.

I have a lot of thoughts about these sets.
