Official Lego Fortnite Sets Revealed, Launching In October

Feel like I should get this for my bf. We play together a couple times a week and both love Lego.

Did Lego start this whole multiverse crossover craze/nightmare we are living through today? Or are they just one in the crowd

@Olliemar28

All four LEGO Fortnite sets are now officially revealed by LEGO with more photos and are also available for preorder.

I've never played Fortnite, but these sets do look nice.

@ScalenePowers
Yes basically, they even made that whole Lego Dimensions game that played into it but it wasn’t that successful for them. As far as gaming goes the biggest example before Fortnite would be have to be Little Big Planet, those games had a mammoth amount of costumes and level packs from games/tv/movies/etc.

The children are doomed

When is Pokemon coming I think they can build it way better, back to Gen 1 bits and all! 🧱 It's fun!

The battle bus is interesting, but Fortnite has a very niche, specific style, and those minifigures show that

I just started fortnite not long ago so this is really cool!
Im still getting that zelda lego tho

@ScalenePowers Outside of comics? You could argue Smash bros did it much earlier, and you had things like Disney Infinity and Nickelodeon and Sanrio racing games and such before Lego Dimensions. But they did all stick to the general theme of all being things made by the same studios, so they never really felt that egregious like these things do now.

You could blame Lego for Dimensions, but ultimately I think WB are the ones truly behind it all, they just work with Lego a lot and Lego does have that inherent "mix all the toys in the box" built into it's core so it didn't feel out of place with Dimensions or the movies. Now we've got Space Jam sequels featuring Clockwork Orange characters and Multi-versus where Aria Stark can face off against Jake the Dog... and the only real connection is WB payed lots of money to own rights to them and want to mash them into a big money making, pop-culture blob. Fortnite at least evolved into the pop-culture blob it is now, it wasn't manufactured to be that.

The Lego sets themselves are pretty standalone. Obvious being Lego you can mix them but they're not designed and sold as a "finally Fortnite joins Mario and Marvel superheroes in the world of the Lego multiverse" kind of thing.

Just waiting for Splatoon or Pikmin sets

@PokemonDMG there are Nanoblock Pokémon sets FYI

I'll start panicking when there are Funko Pop Lego sets.

Oh Lego, how far you've fallen.

@PokemonDMG I'm also hoping that Nintendo pushes Pokemon Co to make the switch to LEGO as their official partner. Just imagine little mini Pokemon blind poly bags! Or large Bowser-sized models of Charizard/Mewtwo/etc 🤯

@NFrealinkling im guessing that splatoon is more likely but id love a good pikmin set

@Mana_Knight I don't want to live in a universe where that happens.

@Mana_Knight Look up "Lego BrickHeadz".

@Deltarogue Oh, no. I am not sure I want to!

@Mana_Knight Oh, but the curiosity urges you to do so...

@Fangleman32 Why do you say that? Do you enjoy every other Lego set ever made? Was every set released before nothing but masterpieces? What's your beef with Fortnite? 🤷🏻

@Ulysses Unfortunately Pokémon is in MegaBlocks pocket. Lego will always be superior though. I have a nanoblock Bulbasaur though who's pretty cool.

@HXLXIII We don't know the details. It's possible Pokemon ironed out a contract for a certain number of years with Megablocks before Nintendo ever began developing a business relationship with LEGO. Now that Nintendo is doing so well with LEGO, I think Pokemon will be more eager to allow the Megablocks contract to expire without renewing.

@HXLXIII I say it because I did. Wish I could, but with the prices of Lego, I'd have to be a trillionaire just to afford every other set.

No, not everything before was the best, but I'd put something like Bioncle alone above every licensed property that came after.

Not every idea that came out of Lego was a smash hit. This is true for every company. Nowadays however, Lego can rely on the popularity and brand of others to float by which has led to varying degrees of quality.

Now about the word masterpiece. No Lego set was a masterpiece. The masterpiece was never in the sets, it was within you. The whole idea of Lego is to encourage your imagination. To let you be the storyteller. The masterpieces are things you able to construct from your mind.

This remains true even for sets based on licensed property such as Fortnite.

Check out "Ekow Nimako" when you have some time to see why I wouldn't call any Lego set a masterpiece. Rather what you do with those bricks I would call a masterpiece.

Lasty, I have no beef with Fornite. Beef is food, and im a part time vegetarian. My comment was a joke not to be taken seriously.
