LEGO Pikachu: Testing the newest Pokemon SMART sets!

Wait wait wait, hear us out. We kind of forewent our typical review style for this one because there’s really not a post’s worth of things to say about this set’s build. The part selection is good and we like the prints, but the SMART Play is just a whole lot more interesting to talk about. It’s still not AMAZING or anything, but at the very least you can kind of see the vision a bit better here with Pokemon than with Star Wars. We also couldn’t miss the chance to finally unite the two most prominent yellow fellows of the 90s, Pikachu and Homer. Let us know what you think, it’s fun when there’s not a clear verdict for a LEGO set. I showed Pikachu to a wide variety of friends and family with no relation to LEGO, and reactions ranged from “wow, they’re putting computers in Legos now?” to “is this made for like, young babies or…” Your hot (and even luke warm) takes in our Charizard and Jolteon review had our team laughing, so seriously let us know if we went too easy on this little gremlin.
