Bandai's Pokemon Nanoblock kits are sitting at some of their lowest prices right now, and if you've been eyeing a miniature Lucario or Mega Charizard Y for your desk, this is the window to grab one.
Best Buy is running a limited-time sale on Bandai's line of block-built Pokemon collectibles, with most figures dropping from $14 down to $6 each. That's a 57% discount across much of the catalog, sold and shipped directly by Best Buy rather than third-party sellers at inflated markups.

What's actually on sale and what's already gone
Here's the lowdown on the full lineup. The sale covers figures from both Series 1 and Series 2 of Bandai's Pokemon Nanoblock range:
No surprise that Charmander and Pikachu are already sold out. Those two are always the first to go in any Pokemon merch sale. The good news is Best Buy still has the discounted pricing listed on those pages, so a restock is possible if you keep checking back.
The standouts worth picking up
Mega Charizard Y is the best value here. At 200 pieces for $6, it's the largest kit in the discounted batch and has a wingspan that'll actually look good on a shelf. The Lucario kit at 160 pieces for the same price is a close second, standing nearly 3 inches tall once assembled.
For the completionists, Umbreon is a solid pickup at $6. The 140-piece dark-type build is one of the more visually distinct figures in the lineup, and it's the kind of piece that doesn't show up discounted often.
Eevee only dropped to $12 from $14, so the discount is modest compared to the rest. Gengar and Snorlax are sitting at full price, though both are still available if you want them.
How Nanoblocks compare to the competition
Bandai's Nanoblocks aren't the only block-built Pokemon option out there. Mega Bloks has been making brick-built Pokemon sets for years, and their Pikachu is arguably the better-designed figure of the two. Then there's Lego, which entered the Pokemon space this year with some genuinely well-crafted sets, including a Kanto Badges collection that's exclusive to certain buyers. The trade-off is the price premium that comes with the Lego brand.
At $6 a kit, Nanoblocks win on value. Full stop. You're not getting the same build complexity or piece quality as a Lego set, but for desk collectibles or a quick build session, they're hard to argue with at this price point.
The key here is that these are sold and shipped by Best Buy directly, so the discounts reflect the actual MSRP reduction. You can browse the full selection of available figures on the Best Buy Pokemon gifts page to see current stock before heading to checkout. Stock on the popular figures has already moved fast, so sooner is better than later on this one. Make sure to check out more:
