You thought that 2026 was the Year of the Fire Horse, but it's actually the year of the LEGO Pokémon. This morning, I wrote an article about how Amazon UK have accidentally leaked an image of the Arcanine LEGO set that's set to ship on August 1st, 2026. But that's not the only LEGO leak news that we've had in the last 24 hours.

Collector 'Nortier' has shared on X a list of the alleged LEGO sets that are coming in the LEGO 2026 Summer Wave. Take a look at the list below:

Just check out these sets: Mewtwo Lab, Charmander's Wild Encounter with Geodude, Cubone vs Gengar, Eevee's Evolutions. There is so much nostalgia in these upcoming sets, and if they're all correct, I'm going to find my wallet getting much lighter at an alarming rate.

Pikachu's Training House comes with a Smart Brick that can react to sets and other Pokémon. According to Nortier's list, all of the Summer sets are compatible with the Smart Brick, which could make for some interesting gameplay.

The fact that modern 'mon like Scorbunny are part of the list is a cool touch too. Cinderace would make a great figurine; everyone knows that Fire-types are the best. I'm also really intrigued by Jolteon vs Charizard - that's going to be an interesting set to build!

As always, leaks need to be taken with a pinch of salt, but you can rest assured that I'll be following up with these leaks as the weeks go by and giving you more information when I get some more concrete facts!
