Tie-up between blockbuster toy brands offers hi-tech play sets that will allow fans to ‘feel like the trainer’
Many Pokémon fans secretly fantasise about being a trainer and that dream has become a bit closer as hi-tech Lego bricks bring Pikachu to life for the first time. And that can only mean one thing – epic battles.
The sets are the latest to feature the Danish toy company’s motion-sensitive “smart” bricks that produce an array of sound effects and flashing lights when paired with different sets.
God Of War Laufey – did you nod off? (Sony Interactive Entertainment)
The Wednesday letters page is worried about the September release schedules, as a reader is unconcerned at not being able to afford a ROG Xbox Ally.

Unexcited state So that God Of War Laufey looked good… can’t say anything else surprised me or excited me about the State of Play though. I don’t feel we really need a new God Of War game, and would’ve preferred to see Santa Monica Studio do something new, but I’m sure it’ll be a good game.
I’m not sure how much the State of Play being a little dull is the fault of Sony, compared to the fact that everything leaks out in advance, but while this might be happening at the same time that E3 used to, you’re definitely not getting the swarm of new announcements you used to get back then.
Lots of the games looked good but apart from release dates I don’t feel I really learned anything new about any of them. It was informative rather than being exciting, is probably how I’d put it.
I’ll be interested to see how it compares to Xbox on Sunday, because I expect they’ll try and go all out with reveals and such, even if Sony don’t need to be that desperate. I’m not sure what I’m expecting from Summer Game Fest but that’s such a slog given how long it is – I think I’ll just see the edited highlights the next day. Gorf

A familiar mess Watching the State Of Play and it seems everyone was so terrified of being out at the same time as GTA 6 they’ve decided all to release in September instead.
Even if Nintendo or Microsoft don’t announce anything for September (which is unlikely) the Sony presentation has already packed out the schedule in a way which means some titles are going to suffer.
I’m hoping the new Control game isn’t one that suffers in the scrum, as it looks excellent.
You would think that when putting together this show someone might go ‘Hang on, these are all a bit bunched up aren’t they?’ But then logic and sense rarely seems to feature in release schedules. Euclidian Boxes
GC: The problem is only Sony knew all the release dates ahead of time and most of these publishers will be finding out about them at the same time as everyone else. Now that everything is made public, they have the chance to change them, as that last week of September is madness. We share your pessimism that they probably won’t though.
As predicted I don’t regret staying up late to watch the State of Play but now it’s just finished I can barely remember any of it. God Of War Laufey looked good but also not very surprising. I know nothing is allowed to just end nowadays but I’m really not sure there’s much point in making the game, especially when the only new gameplay idea seems to be making it more like Devil May Cry.
Couldn’t you just… play a Devil May Cry game if that’s what you wanted to do? It looks great though, so I’m sure it’ll be cinematic and all that, so I might give it a go if I can get it cheap, but I’m not exactly going to pre-order it or anything.
It was fine, I guess, but the days of being blown away by these kind of livestreams, where it’s shock reveal after reveal are long gone. Now it’s more like waiting to see how much of the rumours were right, which this time was almost all of them. Focus
Game of the show Well, I know what must have been GC’s favourite game in the otherwise predictable State of Play: The Lost Wild! Anything with dinosaurs is good with me too and this one looked really good. Weirdly I got confused with it at first, as I thought it was the trailer for the movie The End of Oak Street, which the beginning of the game trailer seemed very similar too, whether on purpose or not.
I’m not clear what the explanation for the dinosaurs is in the game, but I appreciate it using current scientific information and for making it look so cool and realistic. Here’s hoping it plays as good as it looks. Even better, let’s hope it’s the start of a new trend for dinosaur games, then we can finally get Capcom to take notice! Radar
Unwanted story I would be very glad if the success of Forza Horizon led to lots of games trying to do similar kind of things but as much as I want to see Clutch succeed, I’m really not sure adding a story is the way to make your game seem different.
I don’t think it’s an accident that other racing games have little or not story so I’m not really sure what they think they’re going to gain by bucking that trend. At best, if the game’s good, I’ll just end up ignoring the story. After all, as bad as the tournament stuff is in Forza Horizon it’s fairly easy to ignore and switch off. Tolly
Luxury device I agree that releasing another ROG Xbox Ally (I still don’t understand what the ROG bit means) seems a bit silly but I think the other reader has it a bit wrong. Obviously, spending a grand or more on a handheld console is not something most people are going to want to do but I also don’t think they’re really missing out on much.
None of these PC handhelds have exclusive games, they’re just a way to play existing PC games on a specialist device. If you want to be portable most ordinary laptops can play indie games at the very least, plus the Switch 2 has most of the same ones. So you’re not even really missing out on that portability front.
I’d put this sort of thing into the same category as the PS5 Pro, where even quite hardcore gamers see them as an unnecessary luxury and not something they want to spend money on or, more importantly, feel like they’re missing out on if they don’t have one.
We’d all love to own whatever hardware takes our fancy, I’m sure, but they’re just not essentials or anything that’s going to have a big impact on the rest of gaming. I feel that Project Helix will fall into that category as well. It’s a neat option if you’ve got infinite funds but it’s not something any ordinary gamer actually needs. Grando
GC: ROG stands for Republic of Gamers, which is a brand Asus uses for most of its gaming hardware. They seem really keen on it.

Nintendo discount Good Star Fox preview, GC. I pre-ordered the game from Currys straight after reading it.
I don’t normally pre-order but there was a 10% discount for doing so, which meant I only paid £40.49 for a physical copy with free delivery too. Arteta26Legend
GC: Currys almost always seems to have that sort of deal for Nintendo games, to the point where it almost seems like an official relationship.
Spaceship adventures I really like the sound of the Star Fox 64 remake, but I also like the idea from the Reader’s Feature at the weekend, of turning the series into a space trading game. I feel this would be a great idea as the problem with all the games after Star Fox 64 is that they’ve got so far away from the original game, which was focused on the spaceships.
They kept trying to turn it into a generic modern shooter, but Star Fox needs to be either an on-rails shooter or something where you’ve got a bit of freedom. To me, using something like Elite as your starting point sounds great, especially as I’d love to see what Nintendo would do with that kind of idea.
I consider the absolute worst Star Fox game to be Star Fox Adventures, which had nothing in common with the original games. It was just a boring Zelda clone, with no puzzles or anything that makes Zelda good, and then the Star Fox characters dumped on to top. I know it used to be a different game, before Star Fox was added, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still a bad Zelda clone.
So I think you’ve got to stick to the spaceships as the focus first of all. The characters are cool (or amusingly not cool, depending on how you want to think about it) but you shouldn’t base the gameplay around them, in my opinion. I don’t even pick Fox in Super Smash Bros. Curly
Inbox also-rans My kids are going to love those Lego Pokémon sets. I was shocked at the prices of the first lot they announced but these are pretty reasonable. It’s crazy how much adults are willing to pay for Lego nowadays. Olliephant
These Pokémon sets are all well and good but where’s my Lego Arwing?! Don’t tell me that wouldn’t sell, and if it wouldn’t make it anyway! Benson

We particularly like this Bulbasaur and Bidoof set (Lego)
Lego has unveiled 12 new Pokémon sets and these ones are cheaper and simpler than before, and they use new smart bricks to make noises and interact with each other.
As soon as a team-up between Lego and Pokémon was announced, it was obvious the collaboration was going to be massively popular. That was confirmed when one of the sets started going for almost £2,500 on eBay.
So far, there have only been three sets, but they’ve all been aimed at adult collectors, with the prices ranging from £54.99 to £579.99. Even if a kid could afford that, some of the sets are huge and they’re all display pieces rather than actual toys.
But that is set to change with a second wave aimed squarely at a younger audience and using Lego’s new Smart Play technology, that makes noises and reacts to Lego being moved and played with. There are 12 new sets in total, with the cheapest being £12.99 and the most expensive a relatively modest £109.99.
As you can see, the style of the designs is closer to the Super Mario line than the ultra-detailed adult sets, which makes sense given the game’s origins and the fact that it makes them less delicate to play with.
We got to play around with them this morning and Lego explained that the squatter designs also ensure they can be held in one hand by a child.

The smart bricks are optional – the cheaper sets don’t come with one, so you have to use one from a more expensive set, or from the range of Star Wars ones that are already out. Once a brick is inserted into a model it interacts with various special tiles, much like the Super Mario Bluetooth minifigures.
Since the smart brick is able to make MIDI style sounds, and also has motion and colour sensors built in, it means you can do things like pretend to feed a pokémon, and have it respond. Or you can tickle it to get it to laugh or lay it down and have it fall asleep and snore.
The idea is that you mimic the process of training and creating a bond with a pokémon, not just by feeding and playing with it but training it up via the various training tools included in many of the sets.
Battles can be simulated to be closer to the games than you’d expect, with each critter having a normal and charged attack, and a dash move so they can get out of the way or pull back in defence. Even the types matter, so that electric-based Pikachu is better against water-based Squirtle.
The sounds as they fight are particularly fun, as they sound like a halfway house between the cries from the original video games and repeating their names as they do in the anime. Likewise, music plays while you battle but while it sounds like 8-bit Game Boy music it’s actually all original tunes.
Also similar to the Super Mario line is that there are two starter sets that give you all the basics, including at least one smart brick, while the other sets all require you to use a smart brick that you’ve got from elsewhere.
Training House with Pikachu (72164) – £59.99
Of course Pikachu gets a set (Lego)
This All-in-One set is the obvious place to start, as it’s relatively inexpensive and yet includes a smart brick, a smart brick charger, and 4 smart tags (the special tiles that the smart brick interacts with). All that and it features series mascot Pikachu, with a little treehouse model, and a training dummy. Living in a giant Pikachu head may be intended as a reference to Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, although it wasn’t a treehouse in that, as far as we remember.
Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle (72167) – £109.99
Our money’s on Jolteon (Lego)
The other all-in-one set is considerably more expensive, as it includes two smart bricks and two large figures, as well some targets for training, that the smart bricks can recognise has been hit. The Charizard figure is 18cm tall and the Jolteon is 12 cm, so they’re quite tall. The set has an 8+ age rating, so it’s a little more complicated than some of the others, but still much more manageable than any of the adult sets.
Berry Bash with Bulbasaur and Bidoof (72155) – £17.99
Bidoof is perfectly friend shaped (Lego)
From here on in none of the sets come with a smart brick, although they do all have at least one or two smart tags that work with one. We actually think this Bidoof might be our favourite design of the lot, although the Bulbasaur is also pretty neat, as is the berry juicer that comes with it.
Trainer’s Buggy Adventure with Squirtle (72156) – £24.99
We don’t recall Squirtle ever driving a buggy (Lego)
Some of these sets come with vehicles, but unless we’re forgetting something they seem to be made-up. Which is a bit odd as the Zero-One from Pokémon Snap would’ve been a neat inclusion, especially as you wouldn’t have thought Squirtle needs a buggy. Still, Squirtle and the pokéball are cool and you do get some stud shooters with it.
Charmander and Geodude’s Cavern Clash (72157) – £17.99
This could also be a reference to the first gym leader battle in the Gen I games (Lego)
Although some of these match-ups seem pretty random there is a theme to it all, with the Gen I starters all appearing in low cost sets and each of them having background themed accessories. In this case you get a Geodude and a section of cave to explore, along with some crystals and a lamp.
Sprigatito, Fuecoco and Quaxly Battle (72158) – £29.99
The only Gen IX set (Lego)
Although the majority of the pokémon featured in these sets are from Gen I, aka the original Pokémon Red and Blue, there’s also this set which stars the three starters from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet – the most recent of the video games. As usual for starters you get a grass, fire, and water type and in the set a little brick-built wheel you can spin to see who the next opponent is.
Jigglypuff Concert (72159) – £12.99
No need to worry about this one putting you to sleep (Lego)
The cheapest of all the sets includes Jigglypuff, a microphone stand, and a set of speakers… and that’s it. You still get a smart tag though, so if you insert a smart brick into him, he can react to stimuli just the same as any of the expensive sets.
Drone Search for Mythical Mew (72161) – £44.99
Mew is known for hiding in ruins (Lego)
We’re not sure if this drone is from the anime or something but it can interact with Mew too, and there’s a Great Ball, as well as some ancient ruins to hide Mew in. This is where you can really see the aim is to make a set that kids can play with, rather than just a display piece for adults.
Eevee and Lapras’s Treasure Hunt (72162) – £54.99
That’s a good looking Eevee figure (Lego)
The organic shapes of pokémon do not lend themselves naturally to the angular bricks of Lego but this set has some of the best smart brick designs, especially when you compare the Eevee with the adult-orientated one released earlier in the year (which is the same price as this set). The Lapras is cool too, with a shipwreck motif going on as well as hidden treasure and a map.
Mewtwo’s Lab Break (72163) – £59.99
Mewtwo can never truly escape (Lego)
It’s up to you whether this counts as a reference to the Detective Pikachu movie or the anime, but Mewtwo in a science lab setting is definitely an iconic Pokémon image. The containment capsule he’s in breaks apart and you get a Master Ball to try and catch him again.
Umbreon vs. Garchomp Championship (72165) – £69.99
An odd pair to be sure but both Umbreon and Garchomp are fan favourites (Lego)
All of these sets are suitable for ages ranging from 6+ to 10+ but this is one of the latter, with slightly more complex builds for dark type Eevee evolution Umbreon and Gen IV pseudo-legendary Garchomp, from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. You also get a trophy and a giant pokéball.
Cubone and Gengar’s Spooky Showdown (72166) – £79.99
This spooky pair could be a reference to Lavender Town’s tower, which doubles as a cemetery (Lego)
The Gengar here is larger than many of the other pokémon and has a moving tongue that you can slide left and right. The playset is also more complex than the other sets, with targets to aim at (and an Ultra Ball to throw), so you can try and knock him off his perch and get to the treasure underneath.
All these Lego Pokémon sets are available for pre-order from today, from the Lego website, but they won’t be released until August 1. They’ll also be available at Lego stores, which will be running smart brick demos to show how the sets work.
Some stores will also become PokéStops and Gyms in Pokémon Go, with exclusive rewards – including an extra smart tag – between August and September (or while stocks last, which probably won’t be very long).
Also, likely to run out quickly is a gift with purchase that features a Poké Ball-shaped TV and Ditto from Pokémon Pokopia, but transformed into a Squirtle. It’s not clear how you get it yet, but usually it’s after spending a set amount of money on related sets.
Purchasing select sets also nets you this extra set of Ditto posing as a Squirtle (Lego)
If you’re someone who was immediately put off by the audacity of the MSRP for this year’s LEGO Pokémon sets, you’re not alone.
The new wave of LEGO Pokémon is thankfully more varied and affordable, offering all sorts of “Smart Play” sets with some cheaper alternatives for those who aren’t looking to spend hundreds of dollars on plastic but still want to dabble in the hobby. Yeah, I’m looking at you, $650 set with Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur.
Don’t get me wrong, there are still some pricy ones in this new lineup, like Charizard vs. Jolteon Ultimate Battle for $119.99 or Cubone and Gengar’s Spooky Showdown at $89.99, but several sets roam in the $15 to $60 range, and that’s a bit easier to contend with (at least in my brain), especially if you’re buying for kids.
Unfortunately, none of the sets come with the LEGO Smart Brick, which enables “interactive play” with lights and sounds, so those feel kind of like a necessary add-on for the sets unless you strictly want to display them.
The full lineup of Smart Play sets also includes:
Jigglypuff Concert – $14.99
Berry Bash with Bulbasaur & Bidoof – $19.99
Charmander & Geodude’s Cavern Clash – $19.99
Trainer’s Buggy Adventure with Squirtle – $29.99
Sprigatito, Fuecoco, and Quaxly Battle – $34.99
Drone Search for Mythical Mew – $49.99
Eevee and Lapras’s Treasure Hunt – $59.99
Training House with Pikachu – $69.99
Mewtwo’s Lab Break – $69.99
Umbreon vs. Garchomp Championship Battle – $79.99
Cubone and Gengar’s Spooky Showdown – $89.99
I personally have a massive backlog of unopened LEGO sets since I currently have nowhere to display them, so I probably won’t be picking any of these up. But the Mewtwo set, Squirtle on a buggy, and the set including all three Paldean starters are definitely speaking to me.
New info on yet another batch of 2026 LEGO sets has surfaced online, detailing over half a dozen unreleased products spanning the company's City and Ninjago themes. While it comes from a source with a yet-to-be-determined reputation, it includes several claims that align with prior LEGO leaks.
The best Lego games allow you to relive your favourite cinematic moments, inhabit iconic characters, and enjoy accessible gameplay that is perfect for playing alongside younger gamers. Since the very first Lego title launched, we’ve been treated to a constant stream of releases, which naturally leads to the question: which ones truly stand out? To help you decide, we’ve rounded up the definitive LEGO experiences available today.
Lego Party is our pick for the best Lego game because it translates the brick-building magic into a social powerhouse. It captures all the whimsical energy you’d expect and channels it into a classic party game format. Whether you’re navigating vibrant boards or competing in absurd mini-games, the trademark Lego humour is front and centre. It’s a fantastic way to bond with friends and family, whether they’re on the couch next to you or halfway across the world.
Perfect For: Groups and families looking for a competitive but lighthearted game night that everyone can jump into, regardless of skill level.
Lego Fortnite is arguably one of the coolest entries in the franchise, despite being a free-to-play experience housed within the Fortnite ecosystem. Shifting the focus toward survival and crafting, the Lego aesthetic feels like a natural fit for this sandbox world. Because it’s attached to one of the biggest gaming platforms on the planet, it’s incredibly easy to jump into with friends.
Perfect For: Players who love survival-crafting games like Minecraft but want a polished, brick-built aesthetic and an easy way to play with friends online.
If you’re looking for something more meditative, Lego Builder’s Journey is a beautifully atmospheric puzzle game. Echoing the “path-finding” style of Monument Valley, it’s easily the most unique title on this list. It’s the perfect way to unwind at the end of a long day, offering the tactile satisfaction of clicking bricks together without the physical mess.
Perfect For: Solo players who appreciate artistic design and want a calm, zen-like experience to de-stress.
Sometimes, it’s good to be bad. Lego DC Super-Villains flips the script by dropping you into a world where the heroes have vanished. The standout feature here is the deep customisation; you get to design your own villain from scratch, choosing both their look and their powers. It feels more modern than many of its predecessors and is a must-play for DC fans who enjoy a bit of chaos.
Perfect For: Aspiring creators and DC fans who are tired of playing the hero and want to customise their own unique character.
Lego Voyagers offers a departure from the standard Lego formula. Designed as a dedicated two-player co-op adventure, it focuses on “pure Lego vibes.” While the primary goal is to rescue a spaceship, the heart of the game lies in the two protagonists learning about themselves and their world. It’s a sweet, touching experience for those seeking a more narrative-driven journey.
Perfect For: Duos – whether partners, best friends, or a parent and child – who want a cooperative, emotional story focused on teamwork.
A true titan of the genre, The Skywalker Saga spans all nine mainline films with a staggering amount of content. With hundreds of characters, vehicles, and planets to explore, the scale is immense. Considering Star Wars was the first IP to ever receive the Lego treatment, it’s poetic that this remains one of the best ways to introduce a new generation to the galaxy far, far away.
Perfect For: Completionists and Star Wars superfans who want the ultimate “museum” of the franchise in a fun, playable format.
Lego City Undercover is essentially “Grand Theft Auto” for all ages. It features an original story, a massive open world, and an entertaining array of disguises and vehicles to unlock. This is the premier choice for players who want a massive sandbox experience without being tied to a specific movie or comic book franchise.
Perfect For: Open-world lovers who enjoy exploration, vehicle variety, and a heavy dose of slapstick comedy without the need for a superhero license.
For those who want to experience the entire Wizarding World in one go, the Lego Harry Potter Collection is an absolute essential. It bundles all seven years of Harry’s journey into a single package. From the cosy corridors of Hogwarts to the high-stakes duels of the later films, it’s a nostalgic and charming retelling that perfectly captures the “silent” humour of the earlier Lego era.
Perfect For: Wizarding World fans who want a long, atmospheric journey that focuses more on charm and exploration than intense combat.
While its sequel is also a great time, the original Lego Marvel Super Heroes still holds a special kind of magic. The game features an incredible roster of Marvel favourites and a vibrant version of Manhattan to explore. For fans of the Marvel Universe, there is no better starting point than this classic open-world brawler.
Perfect For: Marvel fans who want to see the Avengers, X-Men, and Fantastic Four all in the same world, flying around a massive New York City.
Lego Jurassic World is a prehistoric delight that covers the original trilogy plus the first Jurassic World film. The real draw here is that you can actually play as the dinosaurs, using their unique abilities to solve puzzles or just stomp through the park. It’s a great example of how Lego can take a high-stakes action series and turn it into something lighthearted and endlessly replayable.
Perfect For: Fans of the Horizon series or anyone looking for a visually breathtaking adventure that feels like a playable Lego movie.
The LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International reveal the first-ever LEGO Pokémon sets coming out in February 2026.
For both LEGO and Pokémon enthusiasts, this a must-catch set. Today, the LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International are unveiling the first-ever collection of highly anticipated LEGO Pokémon sets. This comes out as the brand celebrates its 30-year history, allowing fans to build and display their favorite Pokémon in LEGO brick form when they launch on February 27, 2026. Additionally, there will be prizes and rewards for a scavenger hunt starting today, January 12 to February 27.
These first three sets feature five fan favourite Pokémon: Pikachu, Eevee, Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise—recreated in LEGO brick form. From Pikachu leaping out of a Poké Ball to the original Kanto evolutions brought together in one large-scale build, these brand new sets are made for people who grew up with Pokémon and want to experience it in a new way—or for those who grew up on it and want to introduce their children to the world of Pokémon to create lasting memories.
The 2,050-piece LEGO Pokémon Pikachu and Poké Ball set ($269.99 CAD) encourages fans to recreate one of the most iconic scenes from the franchise: Pikachu jumping out of the Poké Ball ready for battle. It also includes two poses: a dynamic battle stance and a seated pose. The 587-piece LEGO Pokémon Eevee ($84.99 CAD) is made for every Eevee collector out there. Eevee’s expressive face, movable tail, head and limbs allow builders to pose the fan-favourite, either at rest or ready to jump into action.
Round off the three sets, the whopping LEGO Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set ($899.99 CAD) contains over 6,838 pieces. This set is stunning, capturing the three big hitters in the Kanto region with their Pokémon evolutions. For the first time, they are now in LEGO form! The set allows the Pokémon to be displayed individually or together on a shared action base, each with a base incorporating designs reflecting each Pokémon’s biome and includes hidden easter eggs to discover throughout the build.
Chief Product & Marketing Officer of the LEGO Group, Julia Goldin, stated how “This partnership opens up a whole new range of possibilities for Trainers and builders alike, and we can’t wait for fans to experience these new LEGO Pokémon sets.” Design Director on LEGO Pokémon, Siddharth Muthyala, noted that they are a “lifelong Pokémon fan” and explained that their “team approached the design of these sets with immense care and passion, ensuring every detail and pose truly celebrates what makes these characters so beloved.” I can honestly say, they look amazing—as someone who grew up watching the show and collecting the trading cards.
Chief Product and Experience Officer at The Pokémon Company International, Gaku Susai added, “By combining Pokémon’s sense of adventure with the thoughtful design and attention to detail of the LEGO Group, we’re giving fans the chance to build, play, and tell their own stories in ways they’ve never experienced before—something we’re thrilled to see come to life.” I cannot wait to grab these three sets, but they may cost an arm, a leg, and then some.
In addition to the three-set release, fans can look for hidden LEGO Pokémon clues across many digital channels. Contenders will be challenged to find clues hidden throughout LEGO digital content and Pokémon digital content, to unlock exciting rewards and the chance to win The Grand Prize: experiencing PokémonXP and the 2026 Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco, including access to Championship Sunday at the Chase Center, as well as all three new LEGO Pokémon sets.
Those looking to get in on the LEGO Pokémon Scavenger Hunt can visit the official page. Preorders for the three sets are now available!
The Legend of Zelda franchise is building up to something timeless for its 40-year anniversary. Nintendo’s official social media accounts have unveiled a new trailer for a Legend of Zelda LEGO set featuring an iconic scene from Ocarina of Time.
