The Pokémon Trading Card Game is set to receive its very own LEGO sets! However, fans will need to wait a bit longer to see the final designs as they’re currently part of a special building competition. Earlier this year, LEGO Pokémon sets debuted, and this latest initiative allows enthusiasts to contribute their own ideas.
Pokémon has launched the LEGO Ideas Pokémon Trading Card Challenge: Build Your Card. Participants are tasked with creating a new, unique Pokémon card model out of LEGO bricks, without simply copying existing designs, following the LEGO Ideas guidelines. The overall winner will not only see their design made into an official LEGO set but also earn a lucrative 1% of the total net sales from their creation!
Pokémon TCG LEGO Set On The Way Following Official Contest
New Pokémon LEGO sets are rapidly emerging, and the inaugural TCG-specific set will stem from the creativity of a dedicated fan. The challenge invites participants to construct a LEGO representation of a Pokémon card, equipped with a frame featuring a Pokémon selected from a list of 30 candidates. Contest details allow for imaginative interpretations, such as having the Pokémon burst through or utilize the frame in a creative way.
Designed sets must incorporate at least 400 LEGO pieces but cannot exceed 2,500. Submissions are due by May 6, with the top five designs being reviewed by the LEGO Ideas Review Board, which will then move on to an open voting phase. Please note that while popular votes will be considered, the final decision rests with the Review Board, emphasizing that it’s not strictly a popularity contest.
LEGO Ideas Pokémon TCG Challenge: Rewards & How to Participate
The Grand Prize winner will be awarded “10 complimentary copies of their LEGO Ideas set” and receive credit in the set’s instruction manual. Additionally, the four runners-up will be rewarded with various LEGO sets: Eevee, Pikachu and Poké Ball, Minifigure Vending Machine, Love Birds, and Orange Cat.
To participate, competitors can build their creations using either physical LEGO bricks or utilize digital design platforms like Bricklink’s Studio. Participants must share four to ten images of their set on the LEGO Ideas page, along with a title and brief description. Ensuring the submission adheres to the dimensions of 12×8.5 inches (37×26 studs) is crucial, and AI-generated content is not allowed.
Once the submission window closes, voting will commence on May 28 and run until June 11. While an exact announcement date for the winner hasn’t been disclosed, the Grand Prize reveal will happen no later than February 4, 2027. This initiative is a fantastic way for LEGO to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Pokémon, and fans eagerly await the chance to see their designs come to life!
