I'm Going To Start Collecting MEGA Pokémon Thanks To These UK Deals

Charizard has always been one of the coolest Pokémon, and this build actually lets you make it move. It's got poseable wings, legs, arms, and a tail, plus a hand crank that makes it flap its wings. It's like seeing that classic Pokémon Red & Blue sprite come to life, or better yet, that moment in the anime where Charizard finally listened to Ash and started wrecking everyone.

The 1664 pieces make this a serious build, but seeing it in action is worth it. It's a real-life version of the Charizard EX card from Flashfire, with the insane flames and the "Stoke" move. If you've got the patience, this is one of the best sets to put together.

This one is straight nostalgia. It's the OG Pokédex, the one Professor Oak gives you before you realize you're about to get wrecked by Brock's Onix because you picked Charmander. The build itself is solid, but the real star is the light-up feature and the five lenticular cards featuring Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Eevee.

It reminds me of Pokédex trainer cards that let you peek at your deck. If you ever spent hours memorizing Pokédex entries for no reason (like learning that Magcargo is hotter than the sun), you'll get a kick out of this. Definitely a cool display piece.

Eevee is one of the most beloved Pokémon for a reason. It's got eight evolutions, each one cooler than the last. This set brings the classic version to life with moving legs, a wagging tail, and a head that actually tilts. It's like the perfect mid-run Eevee, ready to dodge an attack before it lands a Quick Attack or a Shadow Ball (if you're running Jolteon).

With 1366 pieces, it's a good challenge but not overwhelming. It has the same energy as the Eevee VMAX card from the Sword & Shield sets, with that huge dynamic pose making it a must-have. If you're an Eevee fan, this is an easy pick.

Pikachu's been a legend since day one, and this set lets you build your own and make it move. It's got a hand crank that makes its feet run and tail swing, so it looks just like it does when it's zipping around in the anime, dodging Hyper Beams and hitting opponents with a last-second Iron Tail.

The 1095 pieces mean you'll have a solid build session, but the result is peak nostalgia. It reminds me of the Pikachu Illustrator promo card. Rare, detailed, and just one of those things you want to own. If you grew up with Pokémon, this is a must-have.

If you don't want to commit to the big Charizard set, this smaller action figure version still delivers. It has poseable wings and a fire effect coming out of its mouth and tail, instantly making it cooler than most statues you can buy.

At 222 pieces, it's a much quicker build, but it reminds me of Charizard GX from Hidden Fates which is an absolute beast. If you're looking for a fast, fun build, this one's worth picking up.
