LEGO Pokémon set 72161, Drone Search for Mythical Mew, depicts a search for Mew using a drone within the Pokémon universe. Listed for 2026, it belongs to the Pokémon theme and contains 429 pieces.
Drone Search for Mythical Mew is part of the LEGO Pokémon theme and presents a scene built around locating Mew. The subject combines the mythical Pokémon with a drone, giving the model a search and exploration premise rather than a purely static display concept.
The set contains 429 pieces, and the source lists no minifigures. The French retail title refers to an interactive toy, Smart Tags and a Pokémon, but the exact operation is not documented here. A cautious description is therefore appropriate: the build is centred on the drone concept, the search activity and the inclusion of Mew as the target.
It can fit play, display or collection purposes within a LEGO Pokémon line-up. Compared with other sets in the same theme, its identity comes from a specific mission scenario, not simply from presenting a character on its own or recreating a generic Pokémon setting.
