A Lego Pokemon blind box series just leaked, and to be perfectly honest, I feel as though Lego is very specifically targeting my bank account here.

Reported by longtime leaker @got.cooped on Instagram, these Lego Pokemon blind boxes will apparently be like the Super Mario buildable figure range. These provide a random character or enemy from the Nintendo series with a mini-diorama that you build, and they tend to start from around $10 at Amazon. According to this leak, the Pokemon equivalent will use a similar approach rather than relying molded figures like the ones seen in the Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball at Lego.

Now, it's important to take an announcement like this with a pinch of salt. This is all unsubstantiated rumor rather than fact, after all, and we can't guarantee it'll happen. However, @got.cooped has a good track record for Lego leaks so I'm willing to at least give this the benefit of the doubt.

No matter what, I hope it's real. Those mini Mario figures are very well done, and even though they may not challenge the best Lego sets for impressiveness, they're excellent stocking-filler gifts for gamers . I don't see any reason why Pokemon wouldn't be just as good, particularly because you can have the buildable figure sat on a base representing their preferred environment (a riverbed for Magikarp, a desert for Sandshrew, etc). The series could even move through the Pokedex with each wave, going through the numbers sequentially. That way, this range could last for years.
