Lego just dropped new Fortnite sets, and this one will let you build the best event of Chapter 1 at home

Lego has four new Fortnite sets coming soon
The Mecha Team Leader set lands on August 1
There are three smaller Fortnite sets dropping on June 1
Lego is continuing its gaming collabs with four brand-new Fortnite sets – with the clear best of the bunch being a 2,503-piece recreation of the Mecha Team Leader.
Long-time Fortnite fans will recognise this Power Rangers Megazord-esque titan from arguably the best live event of Chapter 1, The Final Showdown, which saw the Mecha Team leader face off against the monster of Polar Peak. And now you can recreate that clash yourself in real life (though you'll need to provide your own stand-in for the thawed monster).
The set does sit on the pricier end of things – it'll cost $249.99 / £209.99 from Lego.com when it releases on August 1, 2025 – but once complete, the finished design will stand just over 45cm / 17.5-inches tall.

You'll also get a minifigure version of the Mecha Team Leader (complete with a sign showing support for its mech), as well as digital bonus items: 2 Mecha Team Leader and 2 Mecha Team Shadow Outfits, which are redeemable in Fortnite and Lego Fortnite .
Just remember to be a bit more careful than its monstrous foe when removing your creation's left arm if you try to recreate the robot's iconic No Sweat emote. Where we buildin' boys?

The $22.99 / £17.99 Peely & Sparkplug's Camp is just 250 pieces, but includes some essential Fortnite elements – including a Peely minifig, and a minifig scale Supply Llama. You'll also get a Sparkplug minifigure alongside a redeemable code for a Sparkplug Outfit for the Lego Fortnite game.

Next is the Durrr Burger Restaurant – a familiar in-game location that you can build IRL with this 546-piece set for $64.99 / £54.99.
Alongside the restaurant's storefront and some decoration, you'll get a few minifigs, including the Beach Bomber and Beef Boss, as well as a redeemable code to get a bonus Beef Boss Outfit in Lego Fortnite .

Lastly, you've got a set that might appeal to non-Fontite players in the $109.99 / £89.99, 1,084-piece Klombo set.
I say that it might have more general appeal because Klombo's design is that of a terrifying yet cute dinosaur-like beast that your minifigures can ride around. You'll also get the awesome-looking Oro minifigure for a duo that would be right at home in a bunch of different non- Fortnite Lego worlds.
Though Fortnite fans will still appreciate this build. Not only for the Klombo and Oro figures, but also the Island Adventure Peely minifig that they can also unlock in the Lego Fortnite game using a code.
All three of these sets are available on Lego.com starting June 1 and could make the perfect gift for any Fortnite and LEGO fans you know. You might also like

Midlothian man quit school after making £10k a month managing Fortnite players from bedroom

A young Midlothian man quit school after earning £10,000 a month managing some of the world's biggest online gamers from his bedroom. Ross McLaren, 22, was born with a rare form of muscular dystrophy which left him wheelchair bound. He dreamed of becoming a professional Fortnite player but instead built a six-figure business at the age of 17 while living at home with his parents, Lesley and Craig. Now Ross manages a team of ten and oversees the daily operations of some of the biggest names in online gaming including megastar Fortnite players Clix and Sentinel, reports The Daily Record. READ MORE: Eager Edinburgh customers in huge queue stretching up road as new cafe opens READ MORE: Australian 'fiasco' ferry leaves Edinburgh after months docked in the capital He told the Record: "I really wanted to be a pro-Fortnite player but I realised I wasn't good enough. "I got into video editing for professional Fornite players and started working with small gaming streamers for free when I was in school. "By summer 2021 I was making £10,000 per month and I told my parents I didn't want to sit my Advanced Highers. "They had their doubts and asked me to go back to school - but I quit after one day." Ross explained how his disability enabled him to get into the gaming world and hone his craft. He said: "Having muscular dystrophy was somewhat of an advantage for me as it meant I spent a lot more time on a computer when I was younger as I couldn't go out and play sports like other kids." The then-schoolboy began offering his video editing services to small streamers for fun. Just as he was about to give up, Ross struck gold. "I was working with a streamer called Bugha who only had about 20,000 subscribers," he said. "Bugha played in the Fortnite World Cup in 2018 and won $3million. Overnight, his subscriber count hit one million.' Bugha– now with 4.7million YouTube subscribers – stuck with Ross, and business 'spiralled from there'. Ross then caught the eye of another famous Fornite player called Clix who had 3.5 million YouTube subscribers. Following pressure from his parents, Ross went back to George Heriot's School for one day before quitting - and landed one of the biggest opportunities of his career. He was asked to run a gaming channel fronted by UK YouTube icon KSI who boasts more than 22 million subscribers. He now works as a freelancer, and manages content for professionals like Clix and top E-Sports organisation Sentinels, based in Los Angeles. Top Fortnite streamers like Clix earn around £100,000 per month and Ross collects a lucrative commission for producing content. The young entrepreneur now has his sights on relocating to the US to be closer to his star clients. He added: "It's crazy how things have turned out. "My job didn't exist a few years ago - now business is thriving. "I hope to move to Dallas. With Fortnite, the servers are based there and many of the players are. "I'm planning on taking the leap to move to be closer to my clients." Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages.
