Mariohas been turned intoLego,Sonichas been turned into Lego, and eventhe residents of Animal Crossing will be turned into Legoin 2024. You’d think at least Pikachu and the Kanto starters would have been turned into Lego sets by now, but that still hasn’t happened, and there’s a good reason for that. The Pokemon Company has a deal with Mattel’s Mega, Lego’s biggest rival, and it’s where you need to turn if you want to build toy brickPokemon, and what better place to start than a Charizard that usually costs $140 for half price?
One of the most intricate Pokemon Mega sets, you can pick up the Charizard for just $69.99 onAmazonright now. The only downside is it won’t be here in time for December 25. If you need a gift for someone you’re not seeing until after the holidays, or you’re looking for something to do in that quiet period between Christmas and New Year though, this might be the solution you’ve been looking for.
Most Lego sets are created to be built and then admired, but Mega’s Charizard is a little different. If built correctly, there’s a crank on the base of the set you can turn to make the Pokemon move, making it look like your toy brick Charizard is flying. It might take you a little while to get there, though. With 1,664 pieces included in the box, the set is one of many aimed at adult fans, and it’ll likely take you more than one sitting to piece it together.

Mega’s Motion Charizard set is made up of 1,664 pieces so is one of many Pokemon sets geared towards adult fans. Once complete, you will be able to turn a handle on the base of the set which makes Charizard look like its flying.
Even though the Charizard set won’t be winging its way to you in time for Christmas Day, there is still officially licensed Pokemon stuff out there you can get before the end of this week if you need it.Hot Topic has a new Eeveelutions mini backpackyou can pick up in-store, and GameStop hascut the price of its Pokemon TCG advent calendars in half. Yes, I know December is already more than halfway done, but that just means you can open most of the doors as soon as it arrives.
Lego has a lot to offer too even if it doesn’t have the license to make Pokemon sets.A set based on the X-Jet from X-Men ‘97, complete with Minifigures, will be here in early 2024, anda concept for a No Man’s Sky set has surpassed 10,000 supporters on Lego Ideas. That means Lego will review it to potentially be manufactured and sold.
