LEGO to collab with Pokemon

Oh no.
I am still bankrupt from Lego the Deku Tree

Lego has catchup to play. Those MEGA brand Pokemon collabs have dominated toy aisles for years now, and they have builds that are better than many Lego sets, especially the motion sets, like that running Pikachu one.

Lego has so much brand loyalty I'm sure most people looked at those in the toy aisle and just hoped that Lego would make sets one day.

how hard are these going to get scalped

I dunno, MEGA doesn't appeal to me personally.

Lego does.

With that said, the quality of the Pokemon MOC(fan sets) I see leaves a lot to be desired, so maybe Lego isn't the best format for Pokemon either.

But who knows, the professional at Lego rarely disappoint me

Regular sets probably not at all.

But Lego has a thing called GWP (gift with purchase) that are exclusive as a gift with purchasing a certain set (or for paying a certain amount), and they are for a limited time and limited quantity.

They also have CMF (collectible minifigures) that are sets of like 6 minifigures, and each box has one of them in random (although you can scan a barcode and know the content of the box)
They usually have one more desired than the rest so scalpers usually hunt for that one.

Imagine something like a CMF with Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu...and then Mewtwo or something
Mewtwo will go for like $50 :|
