Meaning you can create a replica using pieces you may already own \u2014 or can buy separately.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re not used to these guides, well, be prepared \u2014 if you want your own set of Kanto Badges in Lego form, you&#8217;ll want to consult <a class=\"external afflink\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lego.com%2Fcdn%2Fproduct-assets%2Fproduct.bi.core.pdf%2F6633212.pdf&amp;key=ae68f205e9e6fcdefa7db1ab4f93a912\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">this 80-page PDF<\/a> which details all 312 bricks you&#8217;ll need, along with instructions on how to put it together.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, it&#8217;s not quite the same as buying and putting the set together that way, though it does save you the <strong>\u00a3600<\/strong>-ish you need to spend on the Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set. And you also can avoid scalpers on online auction sites this way, too.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s a great alternative, especially for a set that&#8217;s really fun. Perhaps some of the more creative builders can use this as a template to come up for badge sets for other regions?<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re hoping for more Pok\u00e9mon Lego, then you might be in luck, as rumours suggest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/news\/2026\/03\/rumour-minifigure-scale-pokemon-lego-appears-online-in-new-leak\">some minifigures will be coming out at some point in the future<\/a>.
