New Lego Pokemon sets just got their first discount, this is not a drill
Save on Lego Munchlax and Arcanine in the UK
Uh, excuse me, but who gave permission for Amazon to slash the price of new Lego Pokemon sets? I mean, I'm not complaining, but still. Seeing as everyone's gone nuts for the newly-revealed kits and they're not even out yet, I wasn't expecting a discount so soon.
You can currently get a small but respectable saving on both Lego Arcanine and Munchlax in the UK, bringing them down to a record low (which isn't hard, seeing as these Lego Pokemon sets were only announced last week). Seeing as both take cues from Lego Eevee, AKA one of the best Lego sets, that's even more noteworthy.
Considering how feral fans went for these new Lego Pokemon, even a drop of £5 is big. Made up of just over 750 pieces, this Munchlax model is one of the smaller 18+ kits in the range but makes up for that with a bespoke display stand festooned with Lego apple-cores from the pocket monster's last snack.
Even though it's smaller than you might think at 6.5in (17cm), there's something magnificent about this Lego version of Arcanine. It's not due to launch until August 1, but has already dipped by £8 seemingly for no reason.
Unfortunately, none of the other newly-announced Lego sets (the Polly Pocket-style Poke Ball diorama, Rayquaza set, or Red Up-Scaled Minifigure) are on offer. This abrupt discount does mean I'll keep a much closer eye on them going forward, though.
Plus, I suspect most fans will be happier with these being given an early price cut anyway. They started out at a much more affordable level to begin with, and because one of the most consistent criticisms of Lego Pokemon thus far has been high costs, that's gonna turn heads.

I'd hoped for a discount on these kits at some point (perhaps in the autumn, around Black Friday time), but this soon? Phew.
What do you think? Will you be grabbing either of these new kits? What with the leaked Lego Donkey Kong set, Nintendo fans are eating good this week...

I've been writing about games in one form or another since 2012, but these days you'll find me managing GamesRadar+'s tabletop gaming and toy coverage (I spend my time here handling everything from board game reviews to the latest Lego news). I've also been obsessed with Warhammer since the 1990s, and love nothing more than running tabletop RPGs like D&D as a Dungeon Master.
