2026 Lego Pokemon Collaboration Sets and the $999.99 Tech-Infused Death Star Debut

Lego just dropped a $999.99 bombshell for 2026, proving that building bricks is no longer just child's play. Lego has officially unveiled its massive early 2026 lineup, featuring the highly anticipated first-ever Pokémon collaboration and a revolutionary 'Smart Play' system that debuted at CES 2026. From budget-friendly retro consoles to thousand-dollar galactic icons, the brand is aggressively targeting the tech-savvy collector market.

The 2026 Lego Pokemon Collaboration Sets and Interactive Tech

The crown jewel of this year's announcement is the debut of Lego Pokémon. The collaboration is launching with three distinct tiers to capture every level of fandom. The entry-level Eevee set features 587 pieces for $59.99, while the mid-range Pikachu & Poké Ball set clocks in at 2,050 pieces for $199.99. For the ultimate collector, the massive Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise trio set costs a staggering $649.99 with 6,838 pieces. These sets are available for preorder now and are scheduled to ship on February 27, 2026.

Beyond aesthetics, Lego is pushing into the hardware space with its Smart Play system. Integrating Smart Bricks and Smart Minifigures, this system adds a layer of digital interactivity never seen before. The tech is making its debut in three Star Wars sets, including Darth Vader’s TIE Fighter and Luke’s X-Wing, with prices starting under $100.

Luxury Bricks: The $1,000 Death Star and Beyond

For those with deep pockets, the Lego Star Wars Death Star is the new heavyweight champion. Priced at $999.99, it is the most expensive Lego set ever released, containing 9,023 pieces and 36 minifigures. It effectively turns the toy into a high-end furniture statement piece, rivaling the build time of the fictional space station itself.

The 2026 catalog also includes diverse IP collaborations like One Piece (Arlong Park at $79.99), a Lego-branded Nike Dunk sneaker ($99.99), and a detailed FIFA World Cup Trophy ($199.99). This wide net ensures that whether you're a sneakerhead, an anime fan, or a space nerd, Lego has a way to claim your shelf space.
