LEGO and Fortnite officially began their collaboration back in December 2023 with the in-game LEGO Fortnite event. But around 10 months later we'll finally be getting official brick-built LEGO sets based on one of the best-selling games of all time. In fact, the physical collaboration between Epic Games and LEGO will be a fully-fledged theme consisting of four brand new sets once they launch on the 1st of October 2024.
Different characters and certain smaller builds have already appeared in LEGO form in the game but the four rumoured sets and what they include will most likely remain a mystery until the official release in possibly a few weeks time. The set numbers of the four sets are 77070, 77071, 77073 and 77074 with the latter of these being the most expensive at $119.99. 77073 will also be our first 18+ LEGO Fortnite set as it's another brick-built character to add to the growing collection across a range of LEGO themes.
77070 Burger Battleground
The cheapest set of the wave will be the Burger Battleground. For $14.99, we expect a simple playset of the burger restaurant with a couple of burgers and other accessories also being included. One to two Minifigures are also expected to be included for a reasonably priced licensed model in 2024.
Set Name - Burger Battleground
Set Number - 77070
Age Range - 9+
Piece Count - 193
Price - $14.99 / €14.99 / £TBC
Release Date - 1st October 2024
77071 Loot Llama
Our first of two brick-built characters releasing in this first wave of Lego Fortnite sets is 77071 Loot Llama. We've already seen pictures and renders of a brick-built LEGO Loot Lama before but this will be much bigger than those first glimpses. The lama will include a total of 691 pieces for a decent retail price of $39.99. As it's a 12+ build, we expect more play than detail but it will still be very displayable with plenty of bright colours for the crazy llama.
Set Name - Loot Llama
Set Number - 77071
Age Range - 12+
Piece Count - 691
Price - $39.99 / €39.99 / £TBC
Release Date - 1st October 2024
77073 Peely Bone
Immediately after our brick-built Loot Llama, we have a brick-built version of Peely Bone. This is the single 18+ set of the wave which captures one of the most iconic characters in brick-built form. For $99.99 and 1,414 pieces we expect it to be similar to the larger brick-built Minifigures we've seen in the past. It'll be interesting to see how the LEGO designers create this half-skeleton half-banana character.
Set Name - Peely Bone
Set Number - 77073
Age Range - 18+
Piece Count - 1,414
Price - $99.99 / €99.99 / £TBC
Release Date - 1st October 2024
77074 Battle Bus
Save best until last as that's right the most iconic element from the Fortnite franchise will be coming to brick built LEGO form for $119.99 with 954 pieces included. The Battle Bus will be complete with the main blue bus and interior along with the balloon keeping it afloat in the air. Current rumours suggest four Minifigures are included but a couple more are also likely to be available in the final version of the set. The Minifigures rumoured so far are Cuddle Team Leader, Meowsicles, Adventure Peely and Bright Bomber.
Set Name - Battle Bus
Set Number - 77074
Age Range - 12+
Piece Count - 954
Price - $119.99 / €119.99 / £TBC
Release Date - 1st October 2024
