Legos Pokémon Pikachu and Poké Ball set just got a rare $40 discount — but you need to hurry

Lego's first-ever Pokémon sets have arrived, featuring the beloved Electric-type mouse Pikachu. The 2,050-piece Pikachu and Poké Ball set costs $199.99, making it one of the priciest Lego Pokémon builds available. However, shoppers can now save $40 on this set as part of Best Buy's Drop for Thursday, August 13, reducing the price to $159.99.

Historical pricing data shows that this Lego set has never been on sale on Amazon before, and it has only seen minor markdowns at Walmart this summer. The Best Buy Drops program offers limited-time deals and restocks of viral products exclusively through their app, with new drops going live almost daily at 11 a.m. ET.
