We built a crazy creative set

Leader of the Lego Fort Mecha team

The LEGO Fort Mecha Team Leader can easily become the largest building I've done it on IGN. When the box arrived at the mail, I was really surprised at how big it was. The box is absolutely huge. The kit itself consists of 2,503 pieces and is distributed in 19 bags. This instruction booklet is equally heavy and feels like a 317-page graphic novel. The instructions and sticker set is even a premium envelope to protect it, and I appreciate it.

When I launch this version, I don't know what I'm doing. I built countless Lego bricks throughout the day, but there really is nothing on this scale. I built this in a day because I don't know how to relax because my kitchen tables and chairs are uncomfortable. Overall, I think it took about five to six hours. Every aspect of the mechanical body is very detailed, each with its own technology and unique attachment techniques. I had timed it and it took nearly an hour to have only one leg.

I didn't educate the knowledge behind the design of the Mecha team leader, but when I commented on how ridiculous (absurd) the set of scenarios, I thought I could speak for everyone. One leg consists of something that looks like ice cream, apple feet, and the other is a literal cheeseburger. I don't understand, I don't care; this rule. Building each body part is very satisfying and understanding the depth of attachment techniques. Except for the knees, each limb is movable and can accommodate and unfortunately does not bend. But you can still express the mechanical arms, hands and fingers, place them on the rack and as needed.

One of my favorite aspects of this version is the giant sword. It cleverly uses grey LEGO high-size blank head and ponytail hairstyle to simulate the fabric tassels at the end of the grip of the sword. You can insert the sword into the hands of any robot, so feel free to pose and do whatever you want, the sword will not fall.

The mechanical chest cavity can be opened to allow its miniature version to enter, which is also one of the first parts of the construction. You can build a pilot cockpit and come with detailed chairs and screens to investigate the battlefield, where most sticker elements come into play. The armored breastplate of the mecha itself is interesting, but I'm questioning some sequencing here. Once the upper breastplate is fully assembled to the rest of the body, it is difficult to connect it without destroying other debris in the process.

The teddy bear's head does put the whole together. This is the last point of the build and one of my favorite parts. I have always thanked the LEGO designers for the extremely detailed, incredible entertainment of how they brought ordinary bricks and mold into the minds we all know, and the head of the mecha team leader is no exception. Its eyes, ears and small tufts of hair sticking out are great little details.

Even if I don't play Fortnite, the Lego Mecha team leader is also one of my favorite builds, whether it's ING or myself. Once it's all said, it's nearly 18 inches tall. This is an impressive design and time-consuming build and I highly recommend you to space it across multiple sessions. Minifigure version of the machinery, the built-in sword and the LEGO plaque printed on “Fortnite” are all great additions to the already great set. I love Lego, and when it comes to designing large tech sets like this, I'm a huge nerd and I can't wait to see more of what they can cook.
