LEGO SMART Play Berry Bash with Bulbasaur (72155): Pieces and MSRP (2026)
By Dexhaul Team · October 29, 2026 · 5 min read
LEGO Pokémon SMART Play Berry Bash with Bulbasaur (set 72155) contains 240 pieces, carries a $19.99 MSRP as listed on LEGO's official site, and launched August 1, 2026 as part of the SMART Play wave. It is a Compatible set, meaning it builds and plays standalone but can pair with a SMART Brick (sold separately) for interactive lights and sounds.
Two Pokémon appear in the set. Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon and original Kanto Grass starter, comes as a buildable figure with its signature bulb on its back.
Bidoof, the Plump Mouse Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, joins as a smaller accompanying build. Together they interact with a berry bush that forms the set's main play feature.
This page covers everything in the box, how the price per piece stacks up against other SMART Play sets, and who this set is best suited for.

What's inside set 72155
The set's full official name is SMART Play: Berry Bash with Bulbasaur and Bidoof. Here is what the box contains.
| Component | Detail |
|---|---|
| Total pieces | 240 |
| Pokémon figures | Bulbasaur (buildable), Bidoof (buildable) |
| Main build | Berry bush with play mechanics (berry-dropping feature) |
| SMART Brick | Not included. Compatible sets accept a SMART Brick but do not ship with one. |
| SMART Tags | Not included |
| SMART Charger | Not included |
| Age rating | 7+ |
| MSRP | $19.99 (LEGO official, August 2026) |
| Release date | August 1, 2026 |
| Set type | SMART Play Compatible (not All-in-One) |
The berry bush features a lever or drop mechanism that lets kids feed berries to the Pokémon, a play pattern LEGO describes across the Compatible wave. Everything in that mechanic runs without electronics. The SMART Brick, when added separately, extends the experience by adding motion-reactive sounds and lights to the buildable figures.
MSRP and price per piece
At $19.99 for 240 pieces, set 72155 works out to roughly $0.083 per piece. That is the lowest cost per piece among the SMART Play Compatible sets released in the August 2026 wave, calculated from official LEGO MSRPs and piece counts.
| Set | Pokémon | Pieces | MSRP | Per piece |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 72155 Berry Bash | Bulbasaur, Bidoof | 240 | $19.99 | $0.083 |
| 72157 Cavern Clash | Charmander, Geodude | 198 | $19.99 | $0.101 |
| 72156 Buggy Adventure | Squirtle, Trainer | 320 | $29.99 | $0.094 |
| 72164 Training House | Pikachu, Trainer | 400 | $69.99 | $0.175 |
The per-piece figure is a mechanical input only: it reflects raw plastic volume, not play value or build complexity. The Training House (72164) costs more per piece in part because it is an All-in-One set that includes two SMART Bricks, a SMART Charger, and four SMART Tags, none of which are counted in the piece total. The Compatible sets at $19.99 are priced for gift-giving without the electronics premium.
How set 72155 compares to the other $19.99 Compatible set
Berry Bash (72155) and Cavern Clash (72157) share an MSRP, so the choice between them comes down to Pokémon preference and build type. Bulbasaur fans get a garden-theme berry-feeding scene; Charmander fans get a cave encounter with Geodude and a disc-shooter play mechanic. Both are SMART Play Compatible and neither includes a SMART Brick.
| 72155 Berry Bash | 72157 Cavern Clash | |
|---|---|---|
| MSRP | $19.99 | $19.99 |
| Pieces | 240 | 198 |
| Pokémon | Bulbasaur, Bidoof | Charmander, Geodude |
| Play theme | Berry feeding, garden scene | Cave exploration, projectile mechanic |
| SMART Brick | Not included | Not included |
| Age | 7+ | 6+ |
The Charmander set is rated for 6+, one year younger, making it marginally better for a younger child. Bulbasaur set has 42 more pieces and an outdoor scene that some builders prefer for display. Both link into the full LEGO Pokémon lineup guide if you want to compare the wider range.
Release timeline
| Date | Event | Source |
|---|---|---|
| August 1, 2026 | LEGO Pokémon SMART Play wave launches, including set 72155 | LEGO official product page |
| October 2026 | In stock at independent retailers; observed prices $19.99 to $38.00 | DexHaul catalogue, October 29, 2026 |
The wave launched alongside the broader LEGO Pokémon SMART Play line. Observe that the Iconic Trainer Moments Poké Ball (72154) released October 1, 2026 and targets a different adult collector audience at $299.99. Set 72155 is aimed squarely at kids 7 and up at $19.99.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Set 72155 suits three types of buyers. First, parents or gift-givers looking for a ~$20 Pokémon building toy for a child aged 7 and up: it falls naturally into a stocking stuffer or birthday slot, and the Q4 timing means it is readily available now.
Second, kids who already own a SMART Brick from a previous All-in-One set and want to add more Compatible builds to their collection. Third, Bulbasaur fans who want a display-friendly garden scene at a lower price point than the larger adult sets.
Skip it in these cases. If you want the full interactive SMART Play experience right out of the box, you need an All-in-One set that includes the SMART Brick. The Training House with Pikachu (72164) includes the Brick, a SMART Charger, and four SMART Tags for $69.99, giving you everything to start.
Alternatively, if the primary purpose is display rather than play, the adult LEGO Pokémon sets such as Arcanine (72160) or Rayquaza (72168) offer larger, more detailed static builds.
