LEGO Pokémon 40892 Kanto Region Badge Collection GWP – Officially Revealed & Comparing LEGO’s New $200 Pikachu vs. Mega Bloks/Mega Construx Versions

LEGO has officially announced the 40892 Kanto Region Badge Collection as a Gift With Purchase (GWP) tied to its big Pokémon release wave launching on 27 February 2026. 

  • Piece count: 312 pieces

  • Theme: All 8 Kanto Gym Badges — Boulder, Cascade, Thunder, Rainbow, Soul, Marsh, Volcano, and Earth — recreated in LEGO form. 

  • Display Case: The badges come in a buildable box that opens and closes with a Poké Ball-inspired latch and has transparent plates so you can see the badges inside. 

  • Size: Roughly 3 cm tall × 19 cm wide × 10 cm deep — small but detailed. 

  • It’s exclusive as a GWP with purchases of the 72153 Venusaur, Charizard and Blastoise set (LEGO’s most expensive Pokémon set). Available from Feb 27 until early March (stock limits apply). Some early pre-orders already include it, though it’s expected to be limited and potentially sell out quickly. 

Comparing LEGO’s New $200 Pikachu vs. Mega Bloks/Mega Construx Versions

With LEGO entering the Pokémon building toy arena, one of the big talking points is how its new Pikachu set stacks up against existing non-LEGO Pokémon construction toys.

LEGO Pokémon Pikachu (72152)

  • Price: Around $199.99 (~₹16,000+ depending on region). 

  • Piece Count: ~2,050 pieces.

  • Design: LEGO’s Pikachu builds a large, detailed display figure with articulated limbs and ears, a brick-built Poké Ball, a display stand with lightning effects, and even Pikachu’s Pokédex number 25 worked into the design. 

  • Audience: Aimed at adult collectors and fans — large and detailed, meant more as a display piece than a toy for kids. 

Mega Bloks / Mega Construx Pikachu

  • Price Range: Typically $40–$60 USD for the larger jumbo buildable Pikachu toy.

  • Piece Count: Varies by version — jumbo sets have ~800 pieces, smaller figures around 200-300 pieces. 

  • Design: Mega versions are poseable, brick-built Pikachu figures and usually emphasize playability over display detailing at a much lower price.

Graham Greene : A Literary Master of Moral Complexity Introduction GRAHAM GREENE Few authors of the 20th century combined storytelling, moral inquiry, and political awareness as powerfully as Graham Greene . An English novelist, short story writer, journalist, critic, and screenwriter, Greene created works that transcended genres, blurring the boundaries between popular fiction and literary art. He wrote thrillers infused with suspense, but unlike typical detective novels, Greene’s stories grappled with profound issues of faith, doubt, betrayal, and human frailty . Over a career spanning six decades, Greene produced more than 25 novels, as well as plays, short stories, memoirs, and essays. His works ranged from Catholic-themed explorations of sin and redemption—dubbed his “Catholic novels”—to politically charged thrillers that dissected espionage, imperialism, and corruption. Novels such as The Power and the Glory , The Heart of the Matter , The End of the Affair , and Our Man in Ha...
