Fortnite-themed LEGO Kits Revealed, Featuring an £89 Iconic Combat Coach

Images displaying the first selection of official Fortnite Lego construction sets have emerged online, showing a $99/€120 (approximately £76) Battle Bus construction set that comes with a variety of popular figures represented as Lego characters.

Expectations for tangible Fortnite Lego products have been high since last year's debut of Lego's Fortnite mode, forming the core of the collaboration between the two companies. Fortnite now includes multiple Lego-themed mini-games created by the community and Lego itself. The partnership further extends to the in-game representation of nearly every character outfit as a virtual Lego character.

According to reports, four Lego construction sets are scheduled to release on the 1st of October this year. In addition to the highlighted Battle Bus, large-scale models representing a Supply Llama ($39/€39, around £30), the Durr Burger ($15/€15, around £12), and the Halloween-oriented Peely character in skeletal design ($99/€99, approximately £76) are also launching.

These sets have been subject to leakage information before, but this is the occasion we're getting a glimpse at them through photographs. Leaks of Lego sets are common due to the lengthy production and promotional pipeline, which requires beginning production years in advance of a set's release (the recently confirmed Legend of Zelda Deku Tree set serves as another example).

Eurogamer had previously inquired with Epic Games concerning the potential for physical Fortnite Lego products - and they seemed highly plausible. "There's definitely a demand," said Julia Goldin, Lego's chief product and marketing officer, last December. "Everything is possible. We set up our product range for the forthcoming years - and this is just the start."
UPDATE: The set of four leaked Lego Fortnite sets from last evening are now available for pre-order.

In addition to the previously disclosed prices for the USA and Europe, Lego has now listed the UK prices for the Battle Bus (£90), Peely in skeletal form (£90), Supply Llama (£35), and Durr Burger (£13) construction sets.

Among the characters coming with the Battle Bus set are Jonesy (Battalion Brawler), Brite Bomber, Adventure Peely, and other well-liked characters such as Drift, Raven, Cuddle Team Leader, and the muscular feline Meowscles. Even more obscure figures from the Fortnite narrative are included, like the malevolent Cube Assassin and Trespasser Elite. (Is Fishstick absent? It seems Lego might be holding off on his figure for the next release.)
