Why we called it
Both Smyths and The Entertainer ran a free LEGO Pokémon build on the same Saturday morning, across all UK stores, one per customer. The build is an acorn training target with a Poké Ball included as part of it. Two retailers running simultaneously meant two pickups in a single trip.
The value case rests on comparable giveaways rather than this exact set, and that was stated plainly. The closest anchor is the Smyths FIFA Trophy — same shop, same all-store giveaway — which cleared £10 and up. LEGO F1 cars ran £11.72, the Van Gogh Sunflowers build £15.32–17.02.
The edge
What members knew before everyone else worked it out.
- Free, one per customer, at every UK Smyths and Entertainer — two pickups in one morning.
- Around £9–15 based on 150+ comparable free-build sales, with the Smyths FIFA Trophy as the closest anchor.
- Ask to take it unbuilt — unbuilt comps run higher and preserve resale value.
- Put "Smyths" in the listing title; the retailer name carries weight on these.
- Stacks with the Pokémon in-store runs and the Spider-Man cinema drops on the same trip.

Smyths from 9am, The Entertainer from store opening, while stocks last.
The takeaway
No resale exists for this exact build, and every UK store handed them out, so supply is heavy — that was said up front. It is a tenner for a walk-in, which is exactly the point for members building capital from nothing.
