If you’ve been keeping up with Fortnite news this day, it’s more than likely that you have seen the excitement surrounding the new event “Fortnite made of LEGO bricks”. The announcement of this new subject celebration has been phenomenal and is already disrupted; it has now come to light that Fortnite will be getting a LEGO Ninjago pass as a Premium Reward! The excellent spinjitzu masters have been officially brought to the island, and the audience reaction? Let’s just say it’s a pleasant kind of chaos.
To put it differently, the news leaked from the standard sources revealing a reward track that looked like it was overflowing with NINJAGO. Skins, backblings, pickaxes, you name it, to be precise! But the most exciting part of it all is that these aren’t just ordinary skins—these are the ninjas in human disguise, totally fitting the Fortnite art style yet maintaining that retro touch. pouya☆.base.eth was right on the money when he said: “I love how the human version keeps the classic ninja vibe but makes it fit Fortnite perfectly. 10/10 design.” What’s more, it’s hard to argue against that. It’s an amazing combination of nostalgia and that new Fortnite luster.
After that comes the information that has everyone so excited. The previews suggest some special perks for the real hardcore fans. One of these is a tiny Garmadon helmet decoration that players call “peak.” Cheeselover mentioned it, saying “Garmadons old helmet being a little decoration is peak,” and you can’t help but agree, those little tributes really do hit differently. Then comes the Zane statue. People are going crazy about it, with Quinny Binny just screaming “THE ZANE STATUE,” and that’s so understandable. Another user, Luna, even questioned if it was real gold or just the lighting because, she said, quote, “it’s supposed to be titanium lmao.” The amount of detail is already starting to spark conversations!
And of course, the question asked the most is: how can one obtain this stuff? The pass has been stated as “Premium Rewards,” which suggests it might be a separate purchase or a high-tier reward track, maybe associated with the present LEGO Fortnite mode. A gamer Nipny, was already posing the right questions: “How can I get Kai’s pickaxe backbling and emote?” which, same dude, same. We all are waiting for the exact unlocking path confirmation from Epic. But the anticipation is so great that another player Odu, just proclaimed, “I’m locked in!” which practically expresses the general feeling.
Responses have been a thrilling and humorous mixture of different views. For instance, user bckdors with a humorous power scale wrote “if we can get skibidi toilet in the game we can get the ultimate spinjitzu master he’s too op” while sharing a meme. And DigitStak 🦝 has accurately characterized the spending mood with “we going nuts on the new shop” along with a GIF of a person going wild next to it. That’s the atmosphere.
Of course, players have already started to guess what NOT will be shown. Presto🌩️ pondered, “I wonder if they have spinjitsu emotes,” which, please Epic, you have to give us a spinjitzu emote, that is a must. Others are like Gui 🇱🇺 who would like to see more information and even go as far as saying “Someone needs to tell Epic that 98% of the audience wants to know what the other shop skins will look like.” The want for more previews is very strong.
Another cutting-edge wrinkle here is a very good sense of continuity. andyseal 🍉 remarked “the ninjago shelf is finally being released,” suggesting that this could have been a long-promised item or concept that is finally coming to life. For the little ones who have been around with LEGO NINJAGO, this collaboration is both a nostalgic journey and an interactive way to get to know the characters. It’s not just a skin drop; it feels like an event.
Wait, what was I saying? Ah, yes, the ultimate craziness. Some responses simply pour joy over the others, like KAENCOLE getting hyper about “THE REAL NANO FIGURES 😭😭” or another user saying “M9ve the ninjago” with one typo that makes it even more believable. It’s that raw, unfiltered hype that is only seen during these iconic crossovers.
Nevertheless, not everything is perfect. A few players pointed out the lack of emotes in the preview, with David just mentioning “no emotes 😑,” which is a quite valid point indeed. Let’s hope the full pass reveals some animated goodness. And not_alphonse_ acknowledged the Garmadon helmet decor, saying “even if i don’t play lego fortnite,” thus implying that the items might be appealing. The new emotes are always a big part of the fun. This kind of crossover event is a major release for PlayStation and Xbox players alike.
