The budget-friendly Pokemon Retro Sets by Mega Bloks are now even more affordable. Normally priced at $25, these charming brick-building kits are currently discounted to just $17.49 at Target, thanks to the retailer's Circle Week sale. This marks the first time these pixel art-inspired display models of Pikachu, Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and other Gen 1 Pokemon have seen any discount. Each set contains between 323 and 434 pieces, offering great value for money. For long-time Pokemon fans yearning for the nostalgia of battling static sprite-monsters on Game Boy, the Retro series is a must-see, especially while it's on sale until October 12. These sets also make excellent stocking stuffers for the holiday season.
The $17.49 price point is already attractive, but it gets even better if you purchase three or more sets. Target's toy promotion allows you to save $10 when you spend $40 and $20 when you spend $75. Buying three sets will reduce the price to $14.15 each, and you can get all six Pokemon Retro Sets for just $90.89, representing a substantial 40% savings compared to the combined retail price of $150. Note: To take advantage of these deals and other offers, you need to sign up for a free Target Circle rewards membership. Currently, Target is the only major retailer carrying the Retro Sets, so you won't find these deals at Amazon for Prime Big Deal Days. Additionally, Target is the exclusive retailer for the Xbox 360 Mega Showcase Building Set, a 1,342-piece brick-building model of Microsoft's iconic console, now on sale for $100 (originally $150) with Target Circle.
All Pokemon in the Retro Set series are from Generation 1. You can assemble sprites of the original starters from Pokemon Red and Blue for Game Boy: Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander. The series mascot and Pokemon Yellow starter, Pikachu, is naturally included. The most recent additions to the lineup, Mew and Eevee, were released in August. Each Pokemon comes with a shelf display stand, but you can also mount your pixel art Pokemon on the wall in your game room. Each figure stands approximately six inches tall and is officially licensed by The Pokemon Company.
As seen above, the pixel art designs of Mega's retro Pokemon figures would likely look fantastic on the shelf next to the new Super Mario World Lego set featuring pixel art depictions of Mario and Yoshi. Lego Super Mario World: Mario & Yoshi was released on October 1 and is in stock at Target, Amazon, and the Lego Store. While browsing these retro-themed brick-building sets at Target, don't miss out on the retailer's wider Lego deals. A variety of Lego sets are currently on sale for 30% off this week at Target.
