LEGO Set V Source: Fortnite Peely Bone
It’s time for another look at how the LEGO® Fortnite sets compare to their in-game counterparts. Today it’s the turn of LEGO Fortnite’s adult-focused 18+ set, Peely Bone. One of the key components of Fortnite is the masses of characters it contains. There’s a healthy mix of original characters and ones from well-known franchises. Peely is an original character who was introduced to the game during Season 8. The...
LEGO Set V Source: Star Wars Skeleton Crew
It’s not very often a new Star Wars ship is important enough to inspire a LEGO® set. Nor have we seen one revealed so far in advance of the material which has inspired it. But that is the case with the Onyx Cinder, which features in the latest Star Wars Disney+ series, Skeleton Crew. This new Star Wars story blends classic 80s Amblin-type adventures with the galaxy far, far away, think Goonies in space. The latest episode hits...
LEGO Set V Source: Fortnite Durrr Burger
Continuing the comparison between the newly released LEGO® Fortnite sets and their in-game inspiration is a look at the Durrr Burger. This fast food-themed set is the smallest of the LEGO Fortnite releases and is inspired by the game’s fictional restaurant from the beginning. Like certain real fast food chains, Durrr Burger has its own mascot which transforms a tasty burger into a comical head. This forms part of Durr Burger’s...
LEGO Set V Source: Fortnite Supply Llama
Instead of doing the usual review of a set, for the Fortnite range, I will see how the physical builds compare to the in-game inspiration. Kicking things off is the Supply Llama. In-game the Supply Llama is featured as a Llama-shaped pinata, filled with items. It has become an unofficial mascot for Fortnite, with its unique appearance being an instant marker for the popular live service game. Making The Supply Llama the ideal subject...
LEGO Set V Source: The Office Minifigures
As I mentioned in my review of the upcoming LEGO® Ideas set inspired by the US version of The Office, one of its most impressive features has to be the minifigures. In fact, it includes the most minifigures ever in a LEGO Ideas set. The much-loved show is mostly known for its cast of wacky characters and the set includes 15 of them. Most of them appear across the show’s 9 seasons and are also key to many of the iconic moments....
LEGO Set V Source: Super Mario 64
Pac-man, Tetris, Donkey Kong, GoldenEye 007, Pokémon, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Fortnite, are just a handful of games that have helped to change the face of gaming over the years. But in 1996 there was one game that made a massive impact on the games industry. Super Mario 64 defined the 3-D platform experience, which is why it’s no surprise it acted as inspiration for the insides of the new LEGO Super Mario 64...
Set V Source: LEGO Marvel Shang-Chi
It’s a well-known fact that some LEGO® sets based on various movies, sometimes take a few liberties with the source material. This can be for various reasons, such as working from concept art, early cuts of films or to deflect spoilers. After venturing to the cinema for the first time in over two years to see Shang-Chi and The Legend of the Ten Rings, I thought it would be nice to compare the two Shang-Chi LEGO sets with the...
