Not long ago, The Pokémon Company officially announced that it would cooperate with the Lego Company to launch a series of official Lego sets based on the “Pokémon” series. Although these new products have caused some controversy over pricing, they have already attracted many fans on major platforms rushing to buy them. But in the meantime, some very creative LEGO players have managed to come up with an alternative.
In response to the expensive price set by the official Lego set for “Pokémon”, a highly skilled Lego builder willsbuilds28 successfully used the bricks in another more affordable set “Sea Animals: Beautiful Rescue” (No. 31385) to create four Pokémon that have not yet been officially made into Lego – Ammonite, Reshiram, Rockshell Crab and Ink Seahorse, and attachedAssembly instructions, allowing fans to try it themselves.
The set is currently priced at $49.99 on Lego’s official website, which is $5 cheaper than the cheapest “Eevee” in the Lego Pokémon series, not to mention those high-end luxury sets of Blastoise, Charizard and Bulbasaur that cost up to $650. But the only small drawback is that if you want to collect these four Pokémon at the same time, you have to buy four 31385 sets, otherwise you have to dismantle and rebuild them.
This means that you only need to spend $50 to assemble these four Pokémon freely, but at the same time, you can also assemble three different ocean-themed finished products according to the original official instructions of the 31385 set.
Over the years, many LEGO players have gone beyond the instructions and created a variety of completely different finished products. One of the most famous examples is the use of building blocks from various sets to build a Lego version of the classic “Star Wars” spaceship “Millennium Falcon”. After all, the official version is also a classic set that is too expensive to deter many people.
