Just like clockwork, LEGO has restocked the LEGO Pokemon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise (72153) and put it back up for pre-order on the LEGO Shop. The unfortunate thing is that the promotion for the Kanto Region Badge Collection (40892) is now over so you won’t be getting it if you pre-order now. I would highly suggest that you wait until February 27 to place your orders as LEGO will be running the promotion again at that time.

One thing to note about LEGO is that they regularly restock their products. For those who are new, don’t go paying scalper prices for something that will regularly restock for at least 1-2 years. When the Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise went out of stock the other day, a lot of orders went straight to the secondary market and 2-3 times the retail price. I’m all about the free market but do know that stuff does come back even if the initial batch of inventory runs out. There’s no need to FOMO.

Despite the higher price point, LEGO has sold out of the pre-orders for the LEGO Pokemon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise (72153). Even though it has a $650 price point, fans were still wanting to get the set especially with LEGO also offering the Kanto Region Badge Collection (40892) gift with purchase set early for the first 21,840 pre-orders. The same offer was also on the Pokemon Center and they sold out there even faster.

There’s been a lot of criticism online about the set after the official reveal this morning, mostly about the price and some of the design features. LEGO is kicking the LEGO Pokemon theme off in a big way in terms of size and the accompanying prices of the sets but that didn’t deter fans from still ordering them.

The LEGO Pokemon sets officially release on February 27 and they will be bringing back the Kanto Region Badge Collection (40892) GWP again. Eevee (72151) and Pikachu and Poke Ball (72152) are still available for pre-orders.
