Hey buddy—February 2026 LEGO news is here, and even though it’s lighter than January, there’s still a lot going on (and a little bit of chaos). I walk through what’s live and what’s coming later in the month, including Double VIP points (as of when I recorded) and the Valentine’s push on LEGO.com with new Botanicals and a themed GWP. The big headline is Pokémon finally landing in LEGO form. We’ve got Pikachu with the Poké Ball at $199.99, Eevee at $60, and that massive Venusaur/Charizard/Blastoise “diorama” set at $650. I talk price-per-piece, how LEGO tends to price new partnerships pretty decently at the start, and why I’m not buying into the $650 display monster (you’d need new furniture to show it off). I also break down the real FOMO: the Kanto badge GWP situation and why people are frustrated. I also cover the new golden retriever puppy (it’s a bit too blocky for me), the Penguins in Love GWP threshold, what’s still hanging around in retiring stock, and the BrickLink Designer Program Series 7 crowdfunding on Feb 16. This wave feels weaker overall, but I highlight the ones I’m most interested in—especially the Alchemist Shop and Sushi Restaurant—and why you’ll want to be ready at launch if you want any of them.
