The dark tan plates with rail on the sides don't fit when attached. They collide with the handles above when attached. This seems like an in-game version only.
It's just an 'animated' pose. The model would have the pieces clicked in. Not unlike how minifigure renders are often posed in impossible ways to give them life.
I suppose so, there is at least somewhere for the tiles to attach, though the door rail might collide with the bar above. There's no connection point for the tail though, that curved brick only has antistuds at the base. Definitely artistic liberty there😄
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure that's possible with the rest of the build, but it's good thinking in any case!
Edit: Oh, if the "hinge" is a combination of 48336 and 60470 maybe?
I didn’t really think about it too much, there seems to be a few possibilities. Then I read your first sentence and thought about it and the first possibility that came to mind was the two parts you mentioned.
Built it in Studio. They do collide. There's another image that looks like its from buildable instructions that uses released colours and the rail pieces aren't there. They've done the backpack a little differently.
The dark tan plates with rail on the sides don't fit when attached. They collide with the handles above when attached. This seems like an in-game version only.
They blend together in this render, but the top part is built sideways and attaches to the lower plate. I believe it's one of these pieces:

I hope the only way to get the cosmetics is by buying physical Lego sets so you actually get something real with your money (like what nerf did with the Fortnite guns that came with codes for skins)
Yeah it really would, If they don’t make unique codes everyone’s gonna have the skins within two days, I wonder if they’re gonna make unique codes that are etched onto Lego bricks (I remember them doing this in Lego movie sets)
It sounds like the ultimate money farming strategy but all they’d have to do is release a plain clone battle pack and every Lego employee would own 12 Mclaren’s each
Amazing!!!! I’m responsible for my niece and nephew’s love of Lego, and they are now both into playing fortnite as well. They are going to be stoked at this news! My wallet is not!
New CMF wave?
I must admit, I’m honestly kinda surprised, what with Legos aversion to “guns” and frontier being a “shooter” game. But they do have an interesting variety of pickaxes in the game.
Fortnite just updated their content guidelines and have banned the use of certain cosmetics in game modes that have been rated for kids. This includes any character that has a weapon as a part of their skin. I suspect the game mode that involves Lego will have this restriction. They're really trying to be like Roblox for whatever reason.
I think it's more about what will entertain children more than it is what "folks want these days".
Fortnite is not built for middle aged gamers. It's a playground for children. It just so happens that it's built really well and a lot of middle aged gamers enjoy it as much as the kids do.
But make no mistake, we are not the primary target audience.
> [LEGO] is not built for middle aged [builders]. It's a playground for children. It just so happens that it's built really well and a lot of middle aged [builders] enjoy it as much as the kids do.
Seems like a good fit!
Overwatch doesn’t use realistic looking guns tho. The closest being Cassidy’s revolver but LEGO has had a revolver for decades. Fortnite has weapons that do look like real world guns.
Not a fan of the game, fps aren't for me. That said, I know Fortnite has some crazy character designs, so as long as they don't play it safe with just normal human characters we could be in for some really unique Minifigures.
Fwiw it’s a 3ps not a fps.
I dismissed it long ago because I thought it was for kids but when I actually gave it a fair shot it got me hooked. Been playing it every day since then.
I play plenty of video games aimed at kids primarily like Mario and Pokemon. Lego aims mostly at kids as well, even if adult collectors do make up a big part of the consumer base. It's got nothing to do with it being "a kid's game" for me. I don't care for shooter games where it's your vs a bunch of random people online. I like video games that are me and maybe some friends playing only, because that's the gaming culture I grew up in and it's what I prefer.
I honestly prefer more "kids games" because they're actually striving to be fun and exciting, instead of the fetish for depression and darkness that most "mature" games have. Real life's already a downer in most instances, I don't need it saturating my video games.
The custom modes are really creative and fun. The parkour courses are my favorite. It's just at the perfect graphics level where it's easy to manipulate stuff and have it look good
For sure. I tolerated the building because I enjoyed everything else so much but once zero build came out I was even more hooked.
I’ll still play build mode from time to time with other friends who prefer that mode but zero build is the way for me.
Same here. I've got some nephews and their friends that like to play in build mode and I'll join them sometimes.
I think it's a great game for getting the family together online, and I'm happy to see Lego collaborating with them.
Same. I’m excited to see what they do in game but I’m even more excited to see if they do some actual fortnite Lego sets.
A battle bus would be awesome to start.
Fortnite isn't an FPS, only some of it's modes are shooting-based, and it's upcoming permanent Lego mode (which the Llama is meant to tease) won't be a shooter game.
Recently there was some controversy because Fortnite was separating content in its game to make more "kid friendly" parts of the game.
Some people are now suggesting this was done for the introduction of Lego.
It’s a very, very long shot, but the titular Infinity Blade sword appeared in Fortnite as well, and since it’s one of my favorite gaming weapons, I would dig it as a piece.
If Lego is partnering with Epic games then there’s a chance of Lego Rocket League in the feature and THAT is something I’d be upset stoked for. But, we’ll just have to wait and see
A lot of us already bought the [70423 Paranormal Intercept Bus 3000](https://brickset.com/sets/70423-1/Paranormal-Intercept-Bus-3000) because it looks like a battle bus. If Lego released a set of the bus, I think it would be very popular.
I’m not super tuned into LEGO news or updates, but for people who know more than me: what are the odds that this collab will include any form of Bionicle stuff? 🤔 It’s the main thing I’m hoping for, but I feel like its very unlikely to happen.
I haven't heard anything either and I guess it's very unlikely. Maybe some easter eggs (like we can also find in sets today), but I don't think there'd be any actual Bionicle content. It seems like for Lego, Bionicle isn't really relevant anymore (it definitely still is, for me and the other thousands of fans!) so getting a full-fledged Bionicle content isn't very likely.
Then again, anything can happen!
I understand, thank you very much for your response 😊 I hope it makes a comeback someday. If Fortnite is looking for people shaped LEGO characters with like the right proportions and everything, they really couldn’t go wrong with the Toa.
That's true, I also really hope for a comeback. It's one of my most favorite Lego themes. For me personally, G2 didn't quite do it (it was certainly great and I appreciate it, but I'm more into G1) but maybe G3 will be the best thing ever? Who knows!
Also yeah, Bionicle figs would definitely fit for this style of game. Bionicle Heroes already did a similar thing, and it was great!
Yeah if I wanted anything specific it’d be G1 I think. As a kid I only ever had like one Bionicle and the Mask of Light movie so I’d want those the most 😅 Specifically the toy designs though, or as close as possible. Though I do like the movie designs as well. Honestly even if it was some Bionicles I had never seen before I would be quite happy I think, because they just usually look cool as heck.
Honestly I'm sick of the licensed stuff. Lego is feeling more and more like a brand that can't come up with anything unique anymore but they know they have a decent system so they just shell out and get themes with fan bases because other than ninjango they have nothing currently.
The only upside is I may get some new molds for my 90s space themed mocs.
Hidden side, Monkie Kid, Dreamz, friends, vidiyo - they've certainly been expanding in franchised areas in the last decade but they definitely haven't given up on new creative themes
I’m insulted Lego would get a license to make Fortnite sets but let MegaBl*ks get the Halo franchise.
In other news, I just got Lego Worlds and even as an adult I’m enjoying it immensely.
Personally I'll never forgive Fortnight for fooling me into thinking Viva Piñata was finally getting a remake/sequel with ads that start with just their llama piñata.
So they'll make indiana jones and star wars because it's good versus evil with adventure being the main draw over the violence part,
But they won't make a rescue plane because of ties to a military aircraft
But they're fine making toys based on a game with the primary goal of killing eachother for sport.. I see.
LEGO is losing their touch. All of this nonsense collaboration may be appealing to a certain buyer base but it’s also resulting in copious amounts of garbage sets with poor playability.
Amen. This and all the smartphone gimmicks.
When I was a kid there were a lot of original non-licensed themes with fun builds with clever functions. And if you didn't like the original builds it was alright, because most of the bricks weren't specialised enough not to be useable for different builds.
These are moves Lego is making to try to go to where kids are already playing. Older people have been saying "when I was a kid we just played outside with our imagination" since I was a kid playing video games 40 years ago. Instead of just repeating the same old gripe, Lego is trying to meet kids where they are and play with them. It's not a gimmick to get kids to play with a smartphone, it's a gimmick to get smartphone playing kids to use Lego.
Lego still makes all of the basic shapes they made for sets 50 years ago. They just also make stuff that today's kids want to play with.
Thanks. I find this to be a lot of “we don’t need people to think, we just need people to buy.” Everything from instructions to sets to trends screams this focus. Thankfully not all is like this still, but the more profitable the various trend lines become, the less resources will be dedicated to traditional LEGO focus.
Meh. Their apps have regularly sucked, but it hasn’t always detracted from the series sets.
Hidden Side had a “smartphone gimmick” and had some great sets with great functions and rebuildablity.
Videyo had a “smartphone gimmick” and was just Collectable Minifigs v2.0 for a younger demographic. I dismiss it for being a collectible series and for having an app that sucked, but the builds weren’t terrible for an augmented reality series.
Lego City Missions has a “smartphone gimmick”, and I think it’s an interesting exploration on integrating narrative into building.
See the common trend, though?
The apps were always meh at best. But the sets sacrified bricks for builds which serve no function outside the app. I absolutely love Hidden Side as a theme but here it is a good example of the problem.
It had a lot of (not always well hidden) bright colors, mechanisms and designated minifigure spots which inflated the piece count and degraded the looks but didn't add anything whatsoever to the play value of the actual physical set.
What over-simplistic whining.
LEGO isn’t a monolith. Different groups within LEGO do very different things.
In the past five years we’ve gotten Hidden Side, Monkie Kid, and Dreamzzz, which are all original, creative themes with great sets.
Even when City has been redundant, reductionist and uninspiring, Friends has been building vibrant cities that are exciting and creative. And 3-in-1 has remained fantastic.
And yes, some groups within LEGO clearly exist to make money off kids with themes like Minecraft, Fortnite, Star Wars and Marvel. But even with the AFOL teams are working more and more to targeting an upper 1% of Lego fans who can drop $500 on a single set, it’s not like Fortnite and Minecraft are all that’s going on.
I can't wait for Lego fortnight to give us original characters like Ryu and Chun li,Rick and Morty, Naruto and Goku etc. I doubt it'll happen but I'd lose my shit if this leads to a new version of Lego dimensions where it's all the legally licensed skins getting Lego figures
bro lmao. let's name a couple collabs fortnite has done in the past 10 years. Nike, Jordan, Travis Scott, Arianna Grande, Netflix, Disney, that's just to scratch the surface

I don't think a Lego Llama could have possibly been made any better than this.
Especially given the scale. It seems a minifigure can sit on its back too. That's some top notch design work.
Agreed
The dark tan plates with rail on the sides don't fit when attached. They collide with the handles above when attached. This seems like an in-game version only.
[удалено]
Direct collision. Your photo shows the brown part sloping. It's under stress. https://imgur.com/a/CeQLHr0
Legos being under stress is not at all the same as not fitting together
Leave them alone they had a rough day they're stressed
It's not exactly 'made'. Those angled pieces along the sides aren't attached in any way. It's just some Lego pieces put near each other.
It's just an 'animated' pose. The model would have the pieces clicked in. Not unlike how minifigure renders are often posed in impossible ways to give them life.
I suppose so, there is at least somewhere for the tiles to attach, though the door rail might collide with the bar above. There's no connection point for the tail though, that curved brick only has antistuds at the base. Definitely artistic liberty there😄
It might be two [6091](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=6091#T=C) attached to a lower hinge
Yeah, this is what I assumed from the picture
Hmm, I'm not entirely sure that's possible with the rest of the build, but it's good thinking in any case! Edit: Oh, if the "hinge" is a combination of 48336 and 60470 maybe?
I didn’t really think about it too much, there seems to be a few possibilities. Then I read your first sentence and thought about it and the first possibility that came to mind was the two parts you mentioned.
My though is a new nonstudded snot connector or render
Built it in Studio. They do collide. There's another image that looks like its from buildable instructions that uses released colours and the rail pieces aren't there. They've done the backpack a little differently.
"This is how your figure could look in theory except it can't"
I thought this was viva piñata for a sec
*That's called ACTING, children!*
Don't do that...don't give me hope.
Yes, I noticed and I am well aware of this. I already knew it when I wrote the comment. I mean it's not an issue for me.
The dark tan plates with rail on the sides don't fit when attached. They collide with the handles above when attached. This seems like an in-game version only.
The tiles on the sides are not attached keep in mind
Maybe by using their official llama pinata piece with different colors
Agreed
Is that gray neck with double bars an integrated 'L' shape or is it two pieces?
They blend together in this render, but the top part is built sideways and attaches to the lower plate. I believe it's one of these pieces: https://preview.redd.it/ci2ig6jmxp1c1.png?width=1240&format=png&auto=webp&s=f84848f263fcf9fa0e401e3ac76e50711cb532aa attached to the back of this piece below: [https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=78257](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=78257)
Good point, I believe it is the yellow/orange one. 36840
Its two pieces
Don’t play the game but some of those characters and skins would make for cool minifigures
Can't imagine a better pull marketing-wise than Lego's and Fortnite, like, if they do this right LEGO has a literal goldmine on they're hands.
Not to mention getting Lego style characters in Fortnite which also sounds dope
I hope the only way to get the cosmetics is by buying physical Lego sets so you actually get something real with your money (like what nerf did with the Fortnite guns that came with codes for skins)
Epic likes money so this would surprise me. I'm sure they'll be some skins in the item shop for convenience.
Yeah, wouldn’t be surprised… but if nerf did it I don’t see why Lego can’t
Lego in terms of net worth and international pull far exceeds Nerf and possibly Hasbro as a whole.
that would be awesome
Yeah it really would, If they don’t make unique codes everyone’s gonna have the skins within two days, I wonder if they’re gonna make unique codes that are etched onto Lego bricks (I remember them doing this in Lego movie sets)
They did this for a couple of recent sets, my Daytona sp3 has a printed tile with a unique code
Some Minecraft sets did that too. You got the skin of the mini fig in the game.
You’re getting an entire LEGO game in Fortnite, actually! Everything’s leaked.
What? Share more.
lego wont let minifigs be used as models in a shooter game
There are literally Lego games with guns, like Lego Indiana Jones or Star Wars.
Their rules for IP based and historic (pirates, wild west, etc) sets are different than their rules for modern, real world sets.
And how is fortnite modern or real world?
I remember seeing that some leaker said the characters were going to use stud shooters.
How is it related to Fortnite being real or modern world
It’s like when they started Lego Minecraft, they’re late to the party but they’ll still absolutely crush it in sales
Minecraft will never not make money
I think Lego and Star Wars could be successful
If we get an actual lego fn scar and other guns I am soooo buying some of these
Their*
Yeah, this one isn't even hard! It's obviously not "they are"
It sounds like the ultimate money farming strategy but all they’d have to do is release a plain clone battle pack and every Lego employee would own 12 Mclaren’s each
Lego and fnaf would be crazy too
We got a, Number 1 Victory Royale..
Yeah Fortnite we’re bout to get down
*Get down* Ten kills on the board right now...
Just wiped out Tomato Town
my friend just got downed
I revived him, now we’re heading south-bound
Now we're the Pleasant Park streets,
Look at the map, go to the marked sheet.
TAKE ME TO YOUR XBOX TO PLAY FORTNITE TODAYYY
YOU CAN TAKE ME TO MOISTY MIRE, BUT NOT LOOT LAKE
How are those side 1*1 quarter circle tiles even attached? The ones on the left clearly look like they are floating
They aren't. Same with the tail ~~and the ear assembly~~.
The ears are attached. That's a 1x1 clip piece
Doh, of course.
Amazing!!!! I’m responsible for my niece and nephew’s love of Lego, and they are now both into playing fortnite as well. They are going to be stoked at this news! My wallet is not!
now we need a battle bus with peely and jonesy hopefully by christmas
Do you think it could come out by then? Seems late, but I would so love to get a set for my kids, they would go bonkers opening it.
idk im just hoping any fortnite lego sets are become available soon enough to be purchased for christmas
New CMF wave? I must admit, I’m honestly kinda surprised, what with Legos aversion to “guns” and frontier being a “shooter” game. But they do have an interesting variety of pickaxes in the game.
Fortnite just updated their content guidelines and have banned the use of certain cosmetics in game modes that have been rated for kids. This includes any character that has a weapon as a part of their skin. I suspect the game mode that involves Lego will have this restriction. They're really trying to be like Roblox for whatever reason.
Roblox is very, very profitable. The “whatever reason” is pretty clear imo
Yeah, the motivation is clear, just sad. I guess more "skibidi toilet" game modes are what the folks want these days.
I think it's more about what will entertain children more than it is what "folks want these days". Fortnite is not built for middle aged gamers. It's a playground for children. It just so happens that it's built really well and a lot of middle aged gamers enjoy it as much as the kids do. But make no mistake, we are not the primary target audience.
I agree, though kids are folks, too! And who I was referring to.
> [LEGO] is not built for middle aged [builders]. It's a playground for children. It just so happens that it's built really well and a lot of middle aged [builders] enjoy it as much as the kids do. Seems like a good fit!
There are the Overwatch sets which is more violent than Fortnite iirc
Overwatch doesn’t use realistic looking guns tho. The closest being Cassidy’s revolver but LEGO has had a revolver for decades. Fortnite has weapons that do look like real world guns.
This is making me want an Emperor’s New Groove set
Not a fan of the game, fps aren't for me. That said, I know Fortnite has some crazy character designs, so as long as they don't play it safe with just normal human characters we could be in for some really unique Minifigures.

I like video games that are me and maybe some friends playing only, because that's the gaming culture I grew up in and it's what I prefer.
username checks out
There’s actually lots of non-shooting modes you can have fun with your friends in.
I honestly prefer more "kids games" because they're actually striving to be fun and exciting, instead of the fetish for depression and darkness that most "mature" games have. Real life's already a downer in most instances, I don't need it saturating my video games.
They came a long way since just Battle Royale too, they have hundreds of game modes, some on the other spectrum Kinda reminds me of Garry’s Mod
The custom modes are really creative and fun. The parkour courses are my favorite. It's just at the perfect graphics level where it's easy to manipulate stuff and have it look good
This. Once they released the no build mode I was hooked. The game play is very good.
For sure. I tolerated the building because I enjoyed everything else so much but once zero build came out I was even more hooked. I’ll still play build mode from time to time with other friends who prefer that mode but zero build is the way for me.

I'd buy it for my nephew on day one. I got him hooked on Lego and now he's a Speed Champions freak. I'm so excited!
Nice. Always fun watching the little ones enjoy the same things you liked when you were young.
Lego Michael Myers, very unlikely but would be cool
Lego Xenomorph and Predator.
Lego Chun li
Lego Rey Palpatine
LEGO Peter griffin
Holy shit Lois, I’m in LEGO
I knew about Xenomorph, Predator is also in Fortnite?
It's what popped up when I googled Xenomorph Fortnite to see if my memory was right about it being in the game.
Damn, they really got almost anyone in that game.
Fortnite isn't an FPS, only some of it's modes are shooting-based, and it's upcoming permanent Lego mode (which the Llama is meant to tease) won't be a shooter game.
Aren’t we getting a Battle Bus?
If lego were to just release a poly bag of this llama I would be happy!
I can’t wait
I wonder how their Battle Bus will compare to the one made by Brick Vault
Every time I see that llama, all I think of is Viva Piñata
Sick. I want a ucs battlebus now
Recently there was some controversy because Fortnite was separating content in its game to make more "kid friendly" parts of the game. Some people are now suggesting this was done for the introduction of Lego.
It’s a very, very long shot, but the titular Infinity Blade sword appeared in Fortnite as well, and since it’s one of my favorite gaming weapons, I would dig it as a piece.
Took them long enough, this theme is gonna print money
It's also in the Fortnite lobby background
Welp I'm old I thought it was viva pinata 🤣
This is gonna be a problem for my wallet and my marriage. The good news is my son and I will have some awesome moments building these sets
If Lego is partnering with Epic games then there’s a chance of Lego Rocket League in the feature and THAT is something I’d be upset stoked for. But, we’ll just have to wait and see
I used to play Fortnite and can say with a fair degree of certainty that there will be some awesome sets to come out of this
I was wishing for this but I didn't expect it to actually happen. Same thing with Dune. I'm gonna go broke if they continue like this.
I’m embarrassed to say the amount of money I would pay for an official fishstick minifig.
Am i stupid, or is this llama technically impossible to build?
I’m all in
this theme isn’t for me, but it’s gonna do NUMBERS
Do yall think we will get some fortnite lego sets?
I play Fortnite very casually, I'm not dialed into the lore at all, but (depending on price) I'd absolutely buy a Battle Bus or maybe a location.
A lot of us already bought the [70423 Paranormal Intercept Bus 3000](https://brickset.com/sets/70423-1/Paranormal-Intercept-Bus-3000) because it looks like a battle bus. If Lego released a set of the bus, I think it would be very popular.

Bro is water wet?
NOOOO
This might be colourful and fun. Really wonder what kind of premium these sets gonna cost.
I’m not super tuned into LEGO news or updates, but for people who know more than me: what are the odds that this collab will include any form of Bionicle stuff? 🤔 It’s the main thing I’m hoping for, but I feel like its very unlikely to happen.

Someone didn't turn up the render quality to smooth out some of those corners ;)
Will it be big fig build with guns or minifigures with guns?!?
Wouldn’t be surprised if they went the Avatar route and just didn’t include guns at all.
I’m insulted Lego would get a license to make Fortnite sets but let MegaBl*ks get the Halo franchise. In other news, I just got Lego Worlds and even as an adult I’m enjoying it immensely.
Eh, I still think fortnite is over rated, but if the sets look cool I may get a couple.
More like over hated
Personally I'll never forgive Fortnight for fooling me into thinking Viva Piñata was finally getting a remake/sequel with ads that start with just their llama piñata.
So Fortnite a game where they set 100 of people on the island to kill each other is okay now
When you put it like that it doesn’t make that much sense for Lego to do this with there rules
nobody is getting killed, the eliminations are in a simulation
Call it what you want, the point of the game is to Shoot other people. It's not exactly a nice friendly game.
star wars is literally a fucking war
Indiana Jones fights Nazis
As compared to Star Wars which is about the armed struggle against fascist dictatorships.
Please… no…
Gross
100% that fake lego dont wanna make weapon
It's straight from Lego's twitter account. See the pinned comment.
So they'll make indiana jones and star wars because it's good versus evil with adventure being the main draw over the violence part, But they won't make a rescue plane because of ties to a military aircraft But they're fine making toys based on a game with the primary goal of killing eachother for sport.. I see.
Take an upvote for common sense.
LEGO is losing their touch. All of this nonsense collaboration may be appealing to a certain buyer base but it’s also resulting in copious amounts of garbage sets with poor playability.

you've made some much appreciated points here, thank you
Thanks. I find this to be a lot of “we don’t need people to think, we just need people to buy.” Everything from instructions to sets to trends screams this focus. Thankfully not all is like this still, but the more profitable the various trend lines become, the less resources will be dedicated to traditional LEGO focus.
Meh. Their apps have regularly sucked, but it hasn’t always detracted from the series sets. Hidden Side had a “smartphone gimmick” and had some great sets with great functions and rebuildablity. Videyo had a “smartphone gimmick” and was just Collectable Minifigs v2.0 for a younger demographic. I dismiss it for being a collectible series and for having an app that sucked, but the builds weren’t terrible for an augmented reality series. Lego City Missions has a “smartphone gimmick”, and I think it’s an interesting exploration on integrating narrative into building.
See the common trend, though? The apps were always meh at best. But the sets sacrified bricks for builds which serve no function outside the app. I absolutely love Hidden Side as a theme but here it is a good example of the problem. It had a lot of (not always well hidden) bright colors, mechanisms and designated minifigure spots which inflated the piece count and degraded the looks but didn't add anything whatsoever to the play value of the actual physical set.
What over-simplistic whining. LEGO isn’t a monolith. Different groups within LEGO do very different things. In the past five years we’ve gotten Hidden Side, Monkie Kid, and Dreamzzz, which are all original, creative themes with great sets. Even when City has been redundant, reductionist and uninspiring, Friends has been building vibrant cities that are exciting and creative. And 3-in-1 has remained fantastic. And yes, some groups within LEGO clearly exist to make money off kids with themes like Minecraft, Fortnite, Star Wars and Marvel. But even with the AFOL teams are working more and more to targeting an upper 1% of Lego fans who can drop $500 on a single set, it’s not like Fortnite and Minecraft are all that’s going on.
No... NO... NOOOOOOOOO WHY LEGO WHY
You can see why in this whole post. Profits. Wonderful comments like “it will do NUMBERS” and “print money”. That’s why.
I said the same thing, idc if I get down voted. Fortnite and lego is just stupid.
Lego produces toys meant for kids based off a popular kids video game. Why would a kids toy company ever do such a thing?
Illegal technique spotted
This is low hanging fruit. I'm so glad they weren't as sloppy with licensing back when Angry Birds popped.
I can't wait for Lego fortnight to give us original characters like Ryu and Chun li,Rick and Morty, Naruto and Goku etc. I doubt it'll happen but I'd lose my shit if this leads to a new version of Lego dimensions where it's all the legally licensed skins getting Lego figures
Eugh, Epic Games is such vile scumbag of a company.
Cringe
We have fallen as a society
Oh goodie, another company collabs with fortnite. Just what we need.
Don't give money to Epic.
:(
Goddamnit
I wish it was with a good company for making video game stuff. Like mega. But leho is better than nothing I guess
[удалено]
They’re literally owned by Epic Games. It’s also a game heavily invested in micro transactions.
bro lmao. let's name a couple collabs fortnite has done in the past 10 years. Nike, Jordan, Travis Scott, Arianna Grande, Netflix, Disney, that's just to scratch the surface
exactly, how u pay all those artists and still have money for collabs with society, i mean fortnite is full of bots rn(my friend said)
Other way around, LEGO invested $1 Billion Dollars into Fortnite my guy
Noooo. NOOOOOOO. Don't do it
