The fandom overlap between Lego and Fortnite got a real treat in the cute and creative Lego-ified modes within the video game that launched back in December. But those fans may have something else to get excited about: real-life Lego Fortnite sets of building blocks, which could be coming as soon as October if leaks are to be believed.
Photos and details from leaker Fateful_Lego show supposed box art for four sets as well as prices: the iconic battle bus with minifigures ($100), a loot llama ($40), the peely bone character skin ($100) and the durrr burger ($15) mascot. Aside from the bus, the other three sets are full-size (e.g. not scaled for minifigures), which perplexed commenters on the LegoLeaks subreddit discussing the choice and wondering whether Lego would be skewing these sets to appeal to older buyers.

These sets come on the heels of free events Lego held last year where fans could come and build their own Fortnite loot llama (though these free mini-sets are much smaller than the larger loot llama set leaked).
Lego and Fortnite studio Epic Games formed a partnership in April 2022 with plans to team up on family-friendly creative experiences in the Metaverse, which we still haven’t seen come to fruition. Epic continues to broaden its range of in-game cameos, including Tesla’s Cybertruck.
Lego has been making sets based on video games for a few years now, from direct adaptations of Legend of Zelda’s 2-in-1 Great Deku Tree to more creative sets like the NES console and Super Mario Maker (with its Luigi add-on). Even more real-life sets like those depicting Aloy and the robo-creatures from the Horizon games have closed the loop after the video game Lego Horizon Adventures was announced in June.
Neither Lego nor Epic Games responded to comment by time of publication.
