Lego Masters Australia is back with new contestants, new builds, and a lot more Lego. The show returns for its third season Monday, April 19 at 7.30pm on Nine and 9Now.
With it comes some of the country’s most skilled builders battling it out in the quest to be crowned the Lego Masters champion for 2021.
This comes with new challenges, such as the race where the teams must create a Lego vehicle that can run on a purpose-built track, with a difference – there are no wheels in the Brick Pit. There is also a Marvel challenge where teams are asked to build a moment of impact set within the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And the teams create castles only to see them destroyed by a hurling bowling ball.
Plus, the introduction of two new bricks into the mix, both with special powers. The Platinum Brick will help teams gain an advantage and comes with its own twist, and the freshly minted Brick of Doom will come with a curse to send a shudder through the competition.
Eight teams in pairs will put all their construction skills to the competitive test. These teams will compete in different challenges in each episode as they show off their skillsets to surprise and impress host, Hamish Blake, and the judge, Ryan “Brickman” McNaught. Along the way, they will face elimination as they compete for the chance to win $100,000.
The eight teams comprise a diverse cast of contestants, all with different skills, ideas, and personalities, including a young couple, best mates, and a hilarious pair of mothers.
In each round, the teams will be out to earn acclaim for their models from Hamish and Ryan as they strive to qualify for the Grand Final. That’s where the last three surviving pairs will work on a final build, with a room full of Lego fans choosing the winning team.
This year in the Brick Pit there are 3.2 million bricks for the teams to rip apart in making their builds. There is a brick, plate, tile, and Minifigure for every challenge.
Lego Masters proved to be a hit with families around Australia for its first two seasons and this season aims for the same. Fans of the show will love the new builds the teams create and the challenges ahead of them.
Lego Masters comes from producers Endemol Shine Australia. The series is adapted from an original UK format from Tuesday’s Child Productions and The Lego Group.
