I suspect that any and all of the characters who are NPCs in the LEGO Fortnite mode will be at the top of the list. Cuddle Team Leader and Brite Bomber, the two starting NPCs, are already confirmed. The full list is here; https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/LEGO_Fortnite:Characters Personally I’m hoping for Skye or Jules most. Lynx, Sparkplug and Crystal are probably highly likely because they’re the only ones who wouldn’t require a new head/hat/helmet mould. (Lynx in particular; you can’t do Meowscles without Lynx, they were literally married.) Also wouldn’t surprise me if they immediately reuse Adventure Peely for regular Peely or Polar Peely.

Okay, huh. I really hope the Loot Llama has minifigures and some kind of interior space or something because only two sets with minifigures would be almost as baffling as LEGO’s weird recent obsession with buildable characters. Like . . who even asked for buildable megafig Peely Bone? Definitely getting the Battle Bus and . . dare I hope that’s some kind of Fortnite battle pack?

Hey all! I’ve decided I’m sick of having all my spaceships (SW and otherwise - the ‘otherwise’ includes some MODs of Ninjago sets, Marvel’s GotG stuff, the XL-15 from Lightyear and even a few TLM2 ships, mostly arranged into factions based on colour scheme) on tables and shelves and landing pads. I’ve got a big empty wall in my LEGO room so I’m working on hanging at least some of them up and making a big, vertical fleet battle scene. Has anyone else done something similar or can point me to people who have? I’m looking for inspiration and design notes for how to arrange everything so that it really looks dynamic. Please advise! EDIT: Have updated the title of this thread since I haven’t gotten any suggestions but want to keep sharing my progress.

Honestly, I would really love for the next big Titan Mech to be for Arin. Nya’s Samurai X Mech is functionally a Titan in every way except colour scheme, and Kai’s Climber Mech is recent enough that I really can’t get excited about another big Kai mech. But imagine something in that mix of yellowish orange and white, with dark blue or dark green highlights. It could be so gorgeous. Especially since Arin’s whole thing is ‘Object Spinjitzu’; imagine if his big hero moment in Season 3 is making a mech do Spinjitzu. Oh, completely same. I can’t believe it’s still going and still awesome. ^^

That set looks like a great parts pack to get on clearance, and I can probably find something fun to do with a giant rainbow pillar or use those clouds to decorate my buildings. And that many fleshie minifig heads in different colours will be great for my city. . . Pharrell Williams? Meh. If they’d made literally a playset of Atlantis Apartments, something I could put in my city like the BTS Dynamite set, I’d be hyped for that, but . . who thought this was a good idea?

No? We got set numbers (and a couple of names) for a line of five Fortnite sets coming towards the end of this year, in October-ish IIRC? I gotta say I really didn’t expect a game like this, but it looks fun so I’m hardly opposed. And if it means we get more giant Kaiju machine sets, I’m 100% up for it. The Tallneck was amazing and I need a Thunderjaw or Tremortusk or something along those lines.

. . Y’now, I just had a crazy thought. What if the Venomverse is Earth-42, the world without a Spider-Man, and they’ll tie it to Spider-Verse? . . Nah, that’d be way too big brain for Sony.

I mean, we have this part; https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=33863&idColor=95#T=C&C=95 It already looks pretty much perfect, assuming they’re willing to bring the mould back after five/six years.

Just saw a discussion on BrickFanatics Instagram about the design notes of the Space CMF figures. The robot butler stood out to me; “We could have given him an evil agenda, but no, his agenda is just to whip cream the best way possible,” So now I’m picturing a scene in which someone’s defending a spaceship from pirates and; “Cream-O-Tron! Whip his cream!” “I WILL NOW WHIP YOUR CREAM,” “AAAAAAAAAAARGH!”

I love that one of them is clean-shaven and the other has stubble. I am now torn between; either using the Jungle Explorer as ‘in the city’ and the new one as ‘roughing it in the field’ . . ooooooor the dramatic reveal that the Johnny Thunder of minor celebrity in my city has been an impostor and the real Jonny appears to call him out!

The fact that the new season showed almost none of the builds from the new Wave 3 sets really makes me think the show and the sets were developed concurrently and separately with only minor input from each other. Add that to the fact that a couple of the episodes were mostly filler, which makes me more suspicious. It’s also weird and random that they changed Mateo’s look but not any of the other characters’? Anyway, full thoughts on the season below.

Do we know what the threshold will be for AUD?

Considering the ‘Space subtheme’ they’ve done across multiple themes this year, I could absolutely see them doing something similar with Castle. The Ninjago ‘villain hideout of the year’ could double as a medieval castle (and honestly almost any Ninjago brick-built dragon would need very little tweaking to fit a Castle setting), we could get a souped-up trebuchet or siege tower or something in DREAMZzz, a forest ranger watchtower in Friends, a medieval museum in City? If they really wanted to put in effort, we could see something akin to the airlock system where there are ‘castle components’ across multiple themes that can all be combined into a cross-theme hodgepodge fortress. There are plenty of possibilities. But we all know LEGO loves their formulas, so we can’t be too optimistic about them doing something so interesting. . . damnit, why did I have to picture the cross-theme combination fortress, now I really want something like that . .

Pretty much yeah. That and it has been a while since we had these collectibles, so I was kind of thinking we were done with them permanently. But yeah, it’s just strange that, since you have to buy the Pagoda to get the yellow one anyway, and that comes with all five of them, what’s the point in putting the other four in different sets? Oh, another thing I noticed; the heroes seem to be wearing sports jerseys or something now? I thought it was some kind of monk uniform at first glance, but no, they’re all different - and, annoyingly, MK has #1, Mei has #2, Tang has $4, Pigsy has $5 and Sandy has #6. These are all in the Pagoda and are fine. But Monkey King has #3 and is only in the Nine-Headed Beast. . . I wouldn’t even mind if these sets were distributed normally like every other theme, but they’re only available from Shop@Home in Australia and therefore never get discounts so I end up trying to make the most out of as few sets as possible and it strains my budget. -,-

Looking at some of the extra pictures, the five ‘collectible rocks’ of this wave . . purple comes in the Fire Ring Mech, blue and red in the Nine-Headed Beast, and green in the Truck, but all five are in the Pagoda, including the exclusive yellow one. So given you have to buy the Pagoda to get the yellow one, what’s even the point of having them in the other sets? It seems silly. It’s been a while since LEGO did a collectible gimmick like this - the only one in recent memory was those weird crystals in the last wave of Hidden Side, and that seemed really half-hearted. Besides that, I don’t think we’ve had a collectibles gimmick since the Dragon Armour in the Hunted wave of Ninjago. (I mean, I guess there was also the ‘dragon amulets’ in The Island and Seabound, but those came in literally every set, and maybe the Dragon Energy Cores? They kind of weren’t really a thing, at least not how the show presented it.

I only just now found out about the No Limits Crew through reading this thread. But wow, now I want all of them. I was already going to get the Harbour and at least considering Robot World and the Bus, but is Mech Max not in any of the sets this year? I’ve only seen her in the Custom Car Garage, and that one’s already all but vanished from Australian shelves (read; prices have gone up too high for me to stomach and probably won’t go back down). It’s annoying, there’s a wheelchair girl in the Tram, that could have been Max?

I just noticed something really interesting in the Dragon Maleficent set; there’s a stand with armour for Prince John inside the castle, with what looks like a new golden shoulder armour piece designed to fit minidolls? Does that exist elsewhere? It seems like such a random thing to just toss in like that but I’m totally up for it.

So, do we know when the Diner GWP is going to be available?

If no one else is going to talk about the new sets, then I will because I am hyped. Monkie Kid’s dump truck? Meh. Another junky vehicle. Centipede side build is cute but that’s all. The Nine-Headed Beast is exciting and looks good, I love villain builds and this is a great one. The Heavenly Pagoda is so tall, like wow. I don’t know where I would even put it in my city, but am eagerly awaiting more details about that one. But Nezha’s Fire Ring Mech might be my favourite LEGO mech ever, the details and styling is so incredibly gorgeous. I want it, I need it.

Am I crazy, or does it look like the red panda in the Jungle sets is actually the old orange, while the one in DREAMZzz is the new reddish orange?

Well, I’m hyped. The Source Dragon looks absolutely incredible. The Temple City is gorgeous, though I’ll admit I don’t see at a glance how the Battle Arena is supposed to combine with it? Can’t wait for review shots. Also love that it looks like we get every figure in this wave except Pilot Cole by getting just the City and Battle Arena? Not that I intend to pass up the Source Dragon (assuming I can find somewhere to put all this. :P) Zane’s Bike . . wow. Trash. Doesn’t even have an enemy to redeem it? Who decided that? I’m baffled. Easy skip for me, same for the Combo Vehicle. The rest are at the least maybes, depending on budget and display space. (Kinda surprised Jay doesn’t get a ‘purified’ Tournament suit?)

So, to my shame I am not a big enough nerd to recognise off the top of my head which Iron Man variants are in the new sets and if they’re new ones that I need for my Hall of Armour. Sets look gorgeous! Not really a fan of the dioramas, but this is definitely the best one to date. Looking forward to the Iron Legion for army building, and definitely picking up Surtur.

I . . I’m so confused. The Master Emerald Shrine doesn’t have the Master Emerald, but looks like it has a place for the Master Emerald stand from the Knuckles Mech to attach to it? So this set is worthless if you don’t also buy the Knuckles Mech? I usually like it when sets can be combined, but this feels sleazy . . Egg Drillster looks . . worthwhile enough? Honestly, gonna buy for Super Sonic annd the Egg Pawn, and that’ll be that. Tails’ boat is also weird, but I appreciate that they gave him a launcher at least? I do like the inclusion of the Egg Pawns, those are great. Don’t think I can justify buying the Shrine just for that though . . I was only holding off on getting Knuckles’ Mech because I had a feeling Rouge would be in one of these sets, probably the boat, but apparently not. (Just Sonic and Tails makes the boat feel kinda bad value . .) Guess I’d better start watching its price.

This is the second time I’ve been impressed by DREAMZzz introducing a new part and immediately making it in lots of colours. Just like the ‘flames’ part from last year, this new 3x3 tube seems to be available in purple, the new reddish orange, actual orange, trans green and blue. (I’m not completely certain that the C-Rex doesn’t have the same reddish orange as is in Izzie’s Dream Animals but it does look like actual orange.)

Actually, the larger Raven set shows it with small Technic wheels filling those gaps, not female ratchet joints. So it seems to be hollow on the inside and capable of having stuff built within it, somehow. So I’m very curious to find out how that part works. Maybe it’s actually two half cauldrons?
