Other sets expected to sell out? You'll need to hurry if you're interested in Pikachu and Poké Ball (£179.99) and Eevee (£54.99).

But that's not all fans have their eye on.

At the time of writing, customers will receive the Kanto Region Badge Collection with every Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise purchase.

As with every popular LEGO set, the gift with purchase is the most sought after item, but fans are disappointed by the Pokémon price points.

"Great so the set we are all likely to want is GWP," another complained. "Typical."

But you'll need to hurry if you're keen, as the gift with purchase is only valid for the first 8,500 online pre-orders online, whilst stocks last.

If the Star Trek Enterprise and Stranger Things GWP are anything to go by, it's sure to be a sell-out.

To pre-order Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise, you'll need to sign up to LEGO Insiders here. Otherwise, you'll need to wait until the official launch date (February 27).
