Details on four unannounced LEGO Pokemon sets have surfaced leaked online, listing their prices and piece counts, while also reiterating some previously reported information. Aside from sharing the same theme, the leaked sets have one key detail in common: they are reportedly traditional kits not designed with LEGO’s new Smart Play platform in mind.
LEGO formally introduced its Smart Play offerings in early January 2026. Presented as an evolution of the company's iconic toys, the platform centers on multi-sensor bricks that can detect their position, orientation, light, sound, or other LEGO elements, allowing them to respond by playing sounds, flashing lights, or both. The new LEGO Pokemon theme is expected to spearhead the Danish toymaker's Smart Play push, according to multiple prior reports from credible leakers. However, the very first Pokemon sets that LEGO revealed were not Smart Play-enabled, and more such offerings are reportedly on the way.

More LEGO Pokemon Sets' Prices and Piece Counts Leak Online
A January 23 report from established leaker lego_minecraft_goat shared some new details about four upcoming Pokemon sets from LEGO, all of which are said to be traditional kits without Smart Play functionality. The most affordable is set number 72510, reportedly featuring 757 pieces and planned to retail for approximately $69.99. The same source expanded on earlier reports about set 72160, attaching a piece count of 1,190 and a $99.99 price tag to the rumored kit. Set 72168 is said to include fewer pieces—1,038—but will allegedly cost $129.99. The final leaked kit is described as a large build with 2,339 pieces, priced at $259.99. That puts it in the same range as the recently revealed LEGO Pikachu and Poke Ball set, which contains 2,050 pieces and is currently available for pre-order at $199.99. The list also includes three age ratings, most of which had already leaked back in November. The exception is the rating for set 72160, which was previously listed as 7+ but has now been revised to 6+.

The prospect of more traditional Pokemon sets may be welcome news for longtime collectors, some of whom have recently expressed skepticism about LEGO’s Smart Play line. Its reveal prompted mixed online reactions, with some fans viewing it as primarily aimed at children, while others criticized the “tech-ification” of LEGO’s traditionally analog toys, which are already a relatively expensive hobby even without sensors, batteries, or NFC tags. Compounding the issue, LEGO is planning only a limited Smart Play rollout this year, so not even all collectors interested in the new sensor-equipped sets may be able to buy them in the immediate future.
Nevertheless, a significant portion of LEGO's 2026 LEGO Pokemon line is rumored to be Smart Play-focused. Limited details on ten such products have already leaked online in December, describing a varied array of products including at least one Pokemon-shaped house, two evolution depictions, and even a battle between Jolteon and Charizard.

Based on current social media reactions, many fans have expressed disappointment that all three of the previously revealed LEGO Pokemon sets focus on sizable brick-built models rather than minifigures. Given the wide range of sizes among different mon species, this trend may continue, possibly because LEGO determined that its traditional minifig molds could not provide sufficient character detail.
The first three LEGO Pokemon sets—72151 Eevee, 72152 Pikachu and Poke Ball, and 72153 Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise—are scheduled for release on February 27. Another, larger wave of products is expected to drop on August 1, but may be officially announced at least a month or two in advance. The newly leaked sets are all rumored to be part of that summer batch.
