The Cheapest Ticket Into the New Wave

LEGO’s five-set Pokémon reveal on 7th July 2026 has a Legendary and a 2,000-piece showstopper — and then it has Munchlax (72150), the 757-piece, 69.99 EUR entry point that most families will actually buy. The perpetually hungry Normal-type comes posable, over 18 cm tall, and parked on a tree stump surrounded by the evidence of its last meal.

🔴 This story is part of our LEGO Pokémon hub – every set from LEGO’s long-awaited Pokémon line, built and graded by a dad.

Why It Matters for Dads

Every reveal wave needs a set that doesn’t require a budget meeting, and Munchlax is it. At 757 pieces this is a relaxed two-evening build — or one shared weekend-afternoon build with a Pokémon-obsessed kid, which is where the real value sits. The 18+ badge on the box is about the display-piece positioning, not the difficulty; like the Pikachu and Poké Ball (72152) from the first wave, this is family-proof LEGO in adult packaging.

The design leans into the joke properly: the round teal body, the cream belly, the mouth permanently ready for the next bite — and a base that is not a pedestal but a picnic aftermath, with an apple still whole and two cores already dealt with. Posable arms, legs and a rotatable head mean the kids can adjust the snacking pose without dismantling anything. If the cuter corner of this line is your thing, the Eevee (72151) remains our benchmark for charm per brick.

What’s Next

Pre-orders are live on LEGO.com, the set ships from 1st August 2026, and there is no Amazon listing yet — we will link one as soon as it exists. We will build it when it lands; the review question for a 69.99 EUR figure is simply whether it feels like 757 pieces of value or a small build with a big license fee. The rest of the wave, including the headline Rayquaza (72168), is covered in our LEGO Pokémon hub.

The Dadnology Take

Munchlax is the smart on-ramp of this wave: cheap enough to say yes to, charming enough to earn shelf space, and simple enough to build with a kid instead of after their bedtime. Whether 69.99 EUR is fair for 757 pieces is the question we will answer brick by brick — but as a first LEGO Pokémon set for a family, this looks like the one.

When does the LEGO Pokémon Munchlax (72150) release?

Pre-orders opened on 7th July 2026 via LEGO.com, and the set launches on 1st August 2026 on LEGO.com, in LEGO Stores and at selected retailers.

How much does the LEGO Munchlax (72150) cost?

69.99 EUR / 69.99 USD / 59.99 GBP for 757 pieces — the entry price of the July 2026 reveal wave. No Amazon listing was live at the time of writing.

What accessories come with the LEGO Munchlax?

A tree stump base for Munchlax to sit on, plus an apple and two apple cores — the aftermath of a snack, which is exactly right for this Pokémon. The figure itself has movable arms and legs and a rotatable head.
