LEGO Pokémon SMART Play 72156 Trainer’s Buggy Adventure with Squirtle

Model Overview

Trainer’s Buggy Adventure with Squirtle is a LEGO SMART Play compatible brick building set for fans of Pokémon. The model combines a playful buggy build with one Pokémon figure and interactive SMART Tag features, creating a hobby kit that blends hands-on building with action-led role play.

The set centres on a detailed articulated vehicle equipped for fast-moving scenes and imaginative play. Squirtle can ride along in the buggy while the trainer takes control of the adventure, making this a lively choice for builders who enjoy recognisable characters and interactive builds. SMART Tags in the buggy and Squirtle are designed to activate SMART Bricks, which are not included, unlocking sounds and lights when used with a compatible All-in-One set.

Construction Features

The buggy includes two water stud shooters and a water stud storage compartment, adding a practical play function to the build. According to the product information, the vehicle is articulated, so it is designed to move through play scenes with a sense of action and flexibility. The included Pokémon figure adds character to the build and helps bring the adventure theme to life.

With 320 pieces, the set offers a satisfying build for hobbyists and younger fans aged 7 and over. It is a brick building set rather than a static display model, so the focus is on assembling a playable scene that can be used straight away in imaginative adventures. For collectors and Pokémon fans, the combination of a licensed character, interactive features and a compact vehicle makes it an appealing addition to a brick-based collection.

Display & Collection

As a Pokémon themed build, this set has strong collector appeal alongside its play value. The recognisable Squirtle figure and the buggy format make it easy to display as part of a larger Pokémon or LEGO compatible collection, while the interactive elements give it added appeal for builders who prefer models with movement and features.

Whether built as a fun weekend project or added to an existing collection, Trainer’s Buggy Adventure with Squirtle offers a mix of character display and hands-on activity. It is a lively choice for anyone looking for a brick building set with a clear Pokémon identity and engaging SMART Play compatibility.
