Lego Fortnite Sets Leaked: Battle Bus, Loot Llama, and More!
The crossover between Lego and Fortnite continues to grow, with the latest news suggesting real-life Lego Fortnite sets could be launching as early as October. Leaked images and details from Instagram user Fateful_Lego show supposed box art and pricing for four sets:
Battle Bus with minifigures ($100): A classic Fortnite vehicle with minifigure versions of popular characters.
Loot Llama ($40): A full-size replica of the iconic loot container from the game, potentially appealing to both kids and adult collectors.
Peely Bone Character Skin ($100): A detailed build of the popular Fortnite character Peely, in his skeletal form.
Durrr Burger ($15): A smaller set featuring the recognizable Durrr Burger mascot, possibly targeted towards younger builders.
The inclusion of full-size sets, rather than minifigure-sized ones, has sparked discussion among fans and Lego enthusiasts. Some wonder if Lego is aiming to capture a broader audience, including adults who might be drawn to the nostalgic appeal of these iconic Fortnite items.
These potential Lego Fortnite sets follow the successful collaboration between Lego and Epic Games, which began in April 2022. This partnership aimed to develop family-friendly creative experiences in the Metaverse, although details of those projects are still pending.
Lego has consistently expanded its video game-themed sets, from direct adaptations like the Legend of Zelda's 2-in-1 Great Deku Tree to more creative creations like the NES console and Super Mario Maker. The recent announcement of Lego Horizon Adventures, a video game based on the Horizon series, also paved the way for real-life sets featuring Aloy and the robot creatures.
While neither Lego nor Epic Games has officially commented on these leaked sets, the potential launch in October could bring a wave of excitement for fans of both brands. This move signals a continued commitment to merging the worlds of video games and physical toys, offering a unique and engaging experience for both children and adults.
