LEGO is Giving Fans the Opportunity to Build an Exclusive Pokemon Set
In 2025, LEGO and Pokémon teamed up for the first time. The first LEGO Pokémon sets arrived in March 2026, featuring builds of Eevee, Pikachu with a Poké Ball, and Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise. The largest set, featuring the three powerful Pokémon, cost $649.99 and included a free, limited-edition LEGO Kanto Gym Badge Collection. Many fans were upset that the gym badge set (number 40892) wouldn’t be available separately, even if the larger Pokémon set was restocked. However, LEGO has now made the official building instructions for the gym badge set publicly available.
![A mechanical model explores particle behavior within a rotationally invariant potential featuring both a false vacuum at [latex]r = r_{FV}[/latex] and a true vacuum at [latex]r = r_{TV}[/latex] - where [latex]r_{FV} < r_{TV}[/latex] - and demonstrates how, at fixed angular momentum, the interplay between the radial and effective potentials defines turning points crucial to understanding semiclassical tunneling phenomena, illustrated by a wavefunction oscillating within classically allowed regions but exponentially suppressed under potential barriers.](https://arxiv.org/html/2604.08660v1/x2.png)
