The multiplayer online game Fortnite has been gathering players on and off since 2017, with the LEGO Group entering the fray earlier this year with the introduction of a Digital Brick-based sandbox platform, as well as the ability to have playable characters within the game appearing as LEGO Minifigures of characters from various franchises.

Today, the pendulum swings the other way, with four LEGO sets based on the game revealed. Fortnite is probably a little outside my normal wheelhouse, and I have a lot to learn about it, if I want to catch up!

In conclusion

A lot of what is going on here is over my head! I don’t really recognise any of these characters, but I have to admit I love the artwork on the minifigures. There is a certain level of craziness to the designs, and I am sure that fans of the game will love them.

As someone with no knowledge of the game, the anatomical cross section of Peely is a little confronting, but it looks like a really interesting build.

Overall, the sets seem reasonably priced, but what should we make of the BattleBus and PeelyBone being the same price in all markets except for Australia, where there is a $20 price difference?

Sets are available to preorder now, and will be a LEGO Store exclusive at this point.
