LEGO just opened preorders for one of its most anticipated licensed releases ever: the L EGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise set ($650). Designed for adult builders and longtime fans, this premium set brings the original Kanto starter trio to life in brick form and is already generating serious buzz among LEGO and Pokémon collectors.

LEGO has plenty of great sets lined up for this year, but this one rumored Architecture set would be a must-buy for collectors.

LEGO is bringing a lot to the table in 2026, and these particular sets are great options to introduce your kids to collecting.

Lego developed a custom ASIC chip that allows its new Ssmart Bricks to pick up on signals from surrounding Smart Tags that dictate how it should make sounds or light up.

The Enterprise isn't on the same scale as that kit in terms of the number of blocks in total, coming in at just over 3600 pieces in total, but what's really impressive is how architectural and large the set ends up being despite that somewhat modest count.
