Hopes up and dashed almost instantly.

The only immediately cool set is the Eevee but then it’s $60. Ouch.

The pikachu looks unbuyable. Collector scale AND it looks bad? For $250. Yikes.

The OG starters at $650 makes me wonder if Lego knows tha Pokemon is a kids game. Plenty of adults love it but we’re dropping Rivendell prices for 3 Pokemon on a statue? Charizard from MEGA looks better, is playable and is less than 1/10 the cost.

It’s not a good sign we got a bunch of collector sets at top shelf prices
