(SIREN WAILS) You've got one hour!
Nervous? Oh, my god.
You should be.
There is so much to do. Think, Jordy, think.
(CONTESTANTS SQUEAL)
CONTESTANTS: Oh!
Are you ready? Are you ready... Are you ready...
Lego - a global phenomenon
played with by millions
and used to create everything,
from artistic masterpieces to technical show-stoppers.
But in the world of Lego, what does it take to become a master?
In a new type of competition designed to push the limits of imagination...
we've assembled the nation's best Lego builders
to compete for $100,000 and the Lego Masters title.
The pressure's really on. We want to be the team to beat.
We can bring any concept to life.
Our secret weapon is our teamwork.
I'm gonna throw something in here that no-one's probably seen.
Everybody has a super-skill. This one's mine.
Of course, there will be an amazing host to lend a hand.
Do your best to break this.
Hosts don't break the Lego and everything's cool.
And judging -
one of the world's top Lego experts with a superhero-style name.
Ahhhhh!
I think we are fan-girling a little bit.
Wow. Brickman.
You need to bring your best game.
Time to get serious.
WOMAN: Faster, faster, faster.
We are going to push the boundaries.
Oh!
(MEN IMITATE ANIMALS BUZZING AND GUNFIRE)
Pew, pew, pew, pew! Holy crud nuggets.
I beg your pardon! (LAUGHS)
Literally, a world of wonder awaits, so forget what you know about Lego.
I'm freaking out. Yes. Whoa...
Wow.
This is the search for Australia's first Lego Masters.
If you can dream it, you can build it.
The only limit is your imagination.
MAN: OK. Rolling up.
Alright. This is it.
Good luck, Hamish. Let's have fun.
Alright, here we go, gentlemen.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(LAUGHS)
(WOMAN SQUEALS)
Oh, man! Dude!
Welcome.
(WOMAN LAUGHS)
Totally amazing!
Oh, my god.
Look at the light!
Dude!
Wow!
G'day, guys. Come on in.
Assemble in a good herd. (LAUGHS)
Welcome to Lego Masters.
(ALL CHEER AND APPLAUD)
Welcome to Australia's number one Lego-building show.
We did it. We've already got the ranking.
(OTHERS LAUGH) I'm Hamish.
I will be your host for the series.
And I am pumped. I'm so excited to be here.
I'm so excited to see what you guys do.
I'm excited because it's Lego. Yeah.
I loved Lego as a kid.
Now I'm a dad, so I'm back building a lot of Lego. I love it.
I love what this show's about
and I love the fact that we're gonna get to see you guys,
who can really build, build some incredible stuff.
Now, I'm the host but I'm not qualified to be the judge.
But the man standing next to me can.
I know a lot of you guys know who he is but I will introduce him anyway
just in case some people don't know who he is.
There are 14 Lego certified professional builders in the world.
There's only one in the Southern Hemisphere.
That one is standing next to me,
responsible for some of the greatest builds of all time.
It's Brickman. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you.
WOMAN: We love Brickman.
WOMAN: His builds are absolutely amazing.
We are fan-girling a little bit. Yeah. (LAUGHS)
Alright, Brickman, you're like our Lego black belt.
Like, what are you looking for in this contest?
I'm looking for creativity, for stories,
for your personality to come out in those Lego builds,
as well, of course, as your technical abilities.
Alright, now, look, it's obviously not just gonna be
a few weeks of playing with Lego.
At the end of this season,
one of the teams in here will be Australia's first Lego Masters.
You get a very snazzy Lego trophy. You also get $100,000 in cash.
(CONTESTANTS APPLAUD) WOMAN: It's amazing.
That's a lot of Lego you can buy.
We're uni students. I mean, I could pay for dinner tonight.
Really, all I'm thinking about is that 100 grand,
'cause I have been...
I've been taking bits and pieces from the vending machine.
I mean, ultimately, you're playing for 100 grand
but today you're also playing for something big
and it is coming through the door behind you.
Take a look.
(CONTESTANTS MURMUR AND LAUGH)
(FORKLIFT BEEPS)
MAN: Wow. (LAUGHS)
Right, so, you're playing for this.
(WOMAN LAUGHS)
(WOMAN GASPS)
Whoa! What is that?
What's in there?
Yes. Whoa.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Oooh.
(CONTESTANTS LAUGH)
(WHISPERS) What is it?
WOMAN: Oh, man.
Are you ready?
CONTESTANTS: Yes.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM AND LAUGH)
It's more beautiful than I remember.
(LAUGHTER) WOMAN: What is it?
MAN: It's, like...
It's, like, glowing and it's just, like, a full 'Pulp Fiction' moment.
(LAUGHS) Like, it's glowing.
I did say you were playing for something big.
(GASPS)
Teams, if you win today's build, you will win...
the Golden Brick! (GASPS)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Behold this sacred brick!
You're right to ooh and ah.
Now, this brick, I mean, I know it looks impressive
but it's even more impressive when you find out what it does.
This brick will keep you safe at an elimination.
Kind of like a cool idea that we've come up with just on this show
that no other shows do.
Kind of like an immunity brick. But it's the Golden Brick.
Now, I feel like you guys are probably just, like,
"Great, $100,000. Get it."
Do you want to see your first build? CONTESTANTS: Yes.
Alright. Come on. It's through here. WOMAN: Oh, my god.
WOMAN: What?
MAN: Oh, man, that's awesome.
Here we go. MAN: Oh, yeah.
MAN: Dude.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)
How about it? Have a look. Get in there. Check it out.
WOMAN: Look at that.
MAN: Oh, wow. WOMAN: Wow.
This is insane.
Look how high it is. Yeah.
MAN: Oh, it's so cool.
This is the evil villain's lair just here.
WOMAN: It's incredible.
I can see a few vacant blocks.
Yeah, right.
Why is there nothing here? Don't know.
Oh, this is for us. Oh, my god. It is too.
Alright. This is build number one.
(MAN EXHALES)
We've got 16 city blocks here in this unfinished city.
Eight of these blocks need to be developed.
We have eight teams - the maths is perfect.
(LAUGHS)
You take your city block and you build whatever your heart desires
to complete this city.
You can do whatever you want, alright?
Let your imagination run free.
But, Brickman, what are you looking for?
So, I'm looking for you to tell a story with Lego bricks.
I want to see your creativity, your passion
and, of course, your technical skills.
OK. Alright.
That's what it's gonna take. I was gonna say the same thing.
(LAUGHTER)
But again, I have no official judging power.
However, I do get to hold the Golden Brick.
Don't forget, that is what you're playing for.
If you win this build, that is what you will receive.
Guys, behind that door, that is the brick pit
and in there, there are 2.5 million bits of Lego
for you guys to play with.
You've got 15 hours to complete your city block.
MAN: Wow. Yeah.
I feel like you want to play with Lego.
Do you want to play with Lego? CONTESTANTS: Yes!
Alright. Go, go, go, go, go. Get it.
14:59:58, 14:59:57, 14:5...
You've wasted three seconds! Oh!
14:59:55... (LAUGHS)
You can't spend the whole challenge walking!
No, you've got pretty much... You've got a lot of time.
Or do you? No.
MAN: Let's go.
Go, go.
Alrighty.
Go, go, go.
MAN: Open the door. Open the door.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)
WOMAN: Oh, my god!
That is awesome!
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM AND LAUGH)
MAN: Oh, that's awesome.
Ohhhhhh!
Ohhhhh!
(BOTH LAUGH)
MAN: Whoa!
The colour is mind-blowing.
There's sky-high boxes of every colour brick,
size, shape that you can imagine.
And... Argh!
MAN: Oh, no way.
What? Dude! Oh, my god.
(GASPS, SQUEALS) (LAUGHS)
Argh!
Oh, man, look at this. Far out.
Treasure-trove.
Oooh, hello.
Hey, Henry! Henry!
Technic, man. This is Technic.
It's pretty organised. Yep.
I wish my kids were here. (LAUGHS) Yeah.
They would totally destroy it. (LAUGHS)
Henry, I got a whole heap. Yeah?
Let's go back. Let's go plan.
I don't wanna waste too much more time.
15 hours to me seems like a pretty long time.
Let's go. Let's go.
I mean, there's not many other shows
that give you 15 hours to do a challenge,
apart from 'The Block', which gives you 15 weeks.
But, you know, is it a long time?
It's actually not. It's really not.
So, one of these cities that we've built here, for example, say,
that's over 20 hours for one of those, right?
This is 20 hours on one block? Yeah.
But that's one person.
They've got two of them, right,
so they've got a little bit of time up their sleeves.
Let's go... Let's aim between here.
But by the same token, factoring in story and anaesthetics
and that kind of stuff,
these guys need to be nailing it right from the word go.
Will we get taller buildings than this?
I think we've got to see height.
And to be honest with you, unless it's something really special,
you know, with detail and that kind of stuff,
if they don't get over these levels,
there will probably be questions asked.
Rightio. Let's do some planning, G.
Pen and paper.
Let's start off with building number one.
It's a normal building. It will have, like, a centre axle.
Yep.
OK.
So, it's a megacity challenge today.
It's about filling our own vacant lot of the megacity.
How's your unicorn going? Good.
What's her name? Persephone.
Mmm.
I'm sure we're up against some pretty stiff competition,
people that have been making Lego for years.
But we are most definitely the Lego love story.
We went on our first date to 'The Lego Movie',
our wedding was Lego-themed.
We had Lego on all of the tables, our invites were Lego-themed.
We love Lego big-time.
Now it's time to become a Lego Master. (EXCLAIMS)
So, got the kind of portal happening.
Every great monster needs a portal entrance.
We really want our block to be in the middle of the action.
It looks like it's coming alive.
So, we're gonna have two buildings being attacked by a giant monster.
So that, like... That's the start of the tentacles coming out.
And they're all, like, kind of... (EXCLAIMS)
What's it like?
(EXCLAIMS) Yeah. (LAUGHS)
So I'm thinking, like, the concept will be like an oasis in the city.
Yep. Basically a massive cubbyhouse, treehouse on steroids.
Yeah. Pretty much. That's what I'm thinking.
We just thought, like, what's the craziest structure
that we could build and sort of make people go, "Oooh."
Yeah. "That's different."
Yeah. It was a treehouse.
My name's Henry. I'm a dad of three.
Do you like making Lego with Dad? Yes.
Yeah, it's pretty fun, isn't it?
I'm Cade. I'm a father of a two-and-a-half-year-old son.
Lego provides so much nostalgia for me.
Like, whenever I see a Lego set,
I'm just, like, totally transported back to my childhood.
As an adult, it's just been such a creative outlet,
being able to, like, come up with crazy things,
but then actually being able to physically make them.
We're here to prove to Australia that we are the best Lego builders.
Like, how wide is this trunk? I'm just blocking stuff out.
This is just drawing with Lego, right?
We're conceptualising a treehouse-inspired modern building.
We're gonna have houses in it.
We're gonna have some little child swings
kind of hanging down, little rope ladders.
How big's this trunk? Bigger than that?
Bigger. Bigger, bigger, bigger, bigger.
We want that brick. We want that 100 grand.
We want to be Lego Masters.
We want it to be, like, the grandest tree you've ever seen.
Go big or go home.
OK. Almost finished this orange.
G'day, guys. How's it going? Hi.
How are you?
I'm just doing the rounds, getting to know everyone a little bit.
Now, it says here you guys work on an oil rig.
So, that must be dirty work.
(BOTH LAUGH)
What do you guys do? BOTH: We're designers.
But you don't design oil rigs? No.
Alright, who do we have here?
According to my notes,
two vivacious young women with a keen eye for design, who...
Nah. MAN: Wrong.
No. No. Not vibin' that.
Read the... Read the shirts.
Guys... Hi-vis. You're our oil workers.
G'day, guys. Sorry to interrupt.
I just thought I'd come and say hi
and get to know you guys a little bit.
Now, it says here that you guys had a Lego-themed...wedding.
That would've been awesome.
A Lego-themed...? I'm so sorry... I've just found...
I found a card I think that's more appropriate for you guys.
Grandma and grandson? That sounds better.
Sorry, there's no photos on here, so...
And there's no names,
but I'm doing my best to try and match everyone to their backstory.
So this is my mamah, Lyn.
And my grandson, Matt.
Nearly there. Yeah.
He's a bit knock-kneed, but that might help him.
Lego's always run through this family since you gave the...
What set was it that you gave to my dad?
It was a bus. A bus.
And I've been playing with Lego ever since I can remember.
So, we did this rewards chart, so every time he went to the toilet,
he got a star
but at the end of the day, if there's no accidents,
he got the Lego piece.
I was a child health nurse for over 40 years.
As a child health nurse, one of the things that you do
is you use reward charts for a number of things.
Toilet training is one of those.
And this actually is the set that I was toilet-trained on.
I have vivid memories of, like, building the set on the...
well, not in the loo but just outside, you know.
What corner do you want? Want that corner?
Well, I thought that was the corner. Alright.
And I'll start mapping out the other stuff.
This being the first build of the competition,
I definitely want to be able to show off what we can do,
what I think we can do and I wanna be able to prove we can do it.
It's gonna be an ordinary city on an ordinary day.
It's just gonna happen to be a stormy day,
so there's gonna be a massive storm going on across the entire city.
We've got clouds and lightning...
So I'm working on our big high-rise block of apartments.
And I've got Mamah building her playground.
It was her idea in the planning process.
And we've got a whole bunch of little stories, don't we, Mamah?
What sort of little stories are you telling?
I thought...
I'm not sure.
I don't have any thoughts.
How are you feeling?
I don't really know what I'm doing, if I'm honest.
My biggest worry is that I don't let Matt down.
Matt really likes his Lego.
What are you gonna do to your park?
And I think I will have
some sense of responsibility if things go wrong.
I'm... I'm not sure that I'm meant to be here.
I feel like Mamah's getting overwhelmed.
I'm really worried.
As an artist, sometimes you do get those lightbulb moments
where you just know that you're onto a genius idea.
Start locking in. That side, that side.
I'm Kale Frost.
I'm a brick artist and toy photographer.
This is where I make art.
I'm pretty well recognised in the Lego community.
I get featured regularly on The Brothers Brick,
the premier Lego website.
You'll find me on Instagram - I've got 15,000 followers there.
Yeah, yeah, I've certainly got eyeballed
being the cute dad in the room more than once.
Yeah, people have said DILF, yes. (LAUGHS)
For today's megacities challenge,
I'm envisioning kind of a classic old-school Art Deco piece
with a forecourt out the front with a UFO crashing into the forecourt.
It's the first challenge. I think we're being safe.
He says... Honestly.
He says safe. I think it's the opposite.
I think it's right up there.
You know, I love his confidence. I love his confidence.
My name is Bilsy.
When it comes to the average Lego fan,
I'm definitely against the grain.
I like to push Lego to the next level.
I love turning real-world objects into Lego.
Like, are we still gonna have some sort of statue here?
Uh, maybe a fountain.
Yeah, no, but, like, if we have a fountain,
I want, like, a big, big sculp... something, like, really big here.
Yeah, but I'm thinking sculpture...
No, I want it in the front. Yeah, but that blocks the view.
I'm getting the sense immediately
that I'm gonna have to take lead of this build.
This is actually gonna have to be in my hands.
Get creative, get creative.
Creativity doesn't come from one source.
It comes from a thousand.
We're going with a large kind of Art Deco-style building.
Ideas are easy.
We'll have basic structure in by the end of the first hour.
Look, there's, what, 14 hours on the clock now.
Yeah, plenty of time, plenty of time.
This is the shallow end of the wading pool.
It is the easiest challenge we will probably get all competition.
I've got this in the bag. Easy.
Coming up...
Jordy, run! Ah!
Love it when a plan comes together.
..Australia's most amazing Lego builders dig deep...
MAN: Put some effort in. Put some effort in, people.
(WOMAN LAUGHS) You're lazy.
MATT: Look at that. Yeah, Mamah.
..for the Golden Brick.
(EXHALES) There it is.
Dude, goose bumps.
Some will rise.
It's beginning to... It is rising.
She's rising. Rising. It's like a cake.
I do feel like we're on a cooking show now.
Some will fall.
Argh.
Matty's just literally lost half his building.
MAN: That looks awesome.
And some will have us amazed.
Unbelievable!
BRICKMAN: I think that's fantastic.
The fact that you've gone high, I love.
You really pushed yourself to complete it,
used a lot of crazy different elements.
That's an amazing building.
Yep. Bam!
(PANTS)
(LAUGHS)
Where'd that go?
The brick pit, it's just so wicked.
There's any bit you would ever want.
It was so amazing in there. Oh...
It's so nice.
Dude, Lego Masters is an absolute dream.
We're in the big leagues now.
We're going to have to huck it on this build.
100%. Dude, this is crazy.
Today's challenge is to build a megacity.
We've got this amazing big city
and we have to build not just one building, an entire block.
Look at that. Lovely.
Damn, I'm good. G'day, Jordan. How are you?
Miller. How's it going?
Excellent. Welcome to Lego Masters.
So, what's the grand plan? What have we got going on here?
(LAUGHS) We'll get rid of all this.
Oh, there we go.
The idea is that we're going to have some sort of, like, park
in the middle here, with a town hall over here.
And then we'll have some shops here with a cafe opening onto the park.
First off, your town hall, I think that's a great idea.
What sort of vertical space are you planning on using?
How big? Not a huge amount of vertical space.
I'm going for something probably two or three storeys.
Probably two. Cool.
From my perspective, I'd probably challenge you
and say that the brief isn't mega-Yarra Valley.
The brief is megacities. Yeah.
So we'll get you to think about that. Yep.
Good luck, boys. Thank you very much. Thank you.
(BOTH LAUGH)
Brickman's just kind of just, like,
said our buildings are a little bit too little.
But I mean, like, every city has a town hall
and not every building in the city is a skyscraper.
(LAUGHS AWKWARDLY)
Hey, guys, sorry, I don't wanna interrupt the building
but a little bit of a career highlight for me here.
I've never got to do this on TV before.
12 hours to go!
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM) Yes! Quick! Build! Build!
Jordy, run!
Oh, look, I've got a lot of heroes when it comes to time calls.
Your Scottie Cams, the Columbaries and I know I'm not at that level
but I think I accurately communicated to the contestants
how much time was left.
Keep building, keep building.
Don't stop, G. Don't stop, man.
We're building a church in 15 hours, man. This is a record.
Don't frighten me.
Today, we're building an epic church.
Where did I put my window? Here.
Oh, you got it?
There's only a few things that can happen in a church,
funeral or a wedding, and we went to the more happy one.
Oh, very good. Very good.
Look at that. Look at you go.
She's coming in the front door, he's going out the rear window.
Now I understand why 15 hours is good, 'cause if this was it...
WOMAN: Faster, faster, faster, faster.
How are they going?
Is anyone, on a Lego level, impressing you now?
Yeah, there's a couple which are certainly next level Lego-wise.
I really like what the guys are doing with the tree.
Yeah. There is nothing like this.
There's nothing like this. It's looking good, bro.
It's looking good.
Love the church as well.
Yeah, looking for something to go there.
I think the church is fantastic.
They're really going hard with the detail.
Maddy and Jimmy?
Yeah, look, what I really like about the way they're going
is they've started off with a story.
It's about the monster and, you know, how it's coming up
and straight into the story.
What's that? Is that the Hulk? Does he have a six-pack?
Maybe. (LAUGHS)
Kaitlyn and Marielle?
Yeah, it looks like
a former East German intelligence service headquarters, right?
There's nothing happening with it, right?
They need to turn that white building into something special.
If it stays white, doesn't show off any pizzazz, they're probably sunk.
Gayan and Dinushi?
Look, there's a fair bit of indecision.
They're not really sure. They're really not confident.
OK, after this, what are we doing? After this, we're going up.
You want to go more up? Yeah.
I think we should stop here and do some detail on top.
Yeah? OK.
Lyn and Matthew?
This is a tricky one.
Mamah, how are you going?
I'm still working on my park.
They've got amazing build skills, right, they really do.
They're just not applying it.
It's like they've all of a sudden walked in here,
confidence has been zapped out of them.
Hopefully they can find their mojo.
Oh, dear. Now I can't even find...
What you looking for?
I know where Matt's got them in his thing.
It's phenomenal building with Matt.
It's lovely to be here with him.
But there is a lot of pressure
because we're here with other people who've been chosen as experts.
Hi, Lyn. How you going?
Oh, struggling.
I can't find what I'm looking for. What are you after?
I'm looking for the one that I reckon looks like an iron.
I know what you're talking about. Yeah, OK.
I'll track one of those down.
But come out to the table and we'll have a gasbag.
Right. OK. Don't worry.
You do need to know that I don't really know what I'm doing,
if I'm honest.
Oh, no, I think you're much better than that.
Don't sell yourself short.
Here you go. After you.
I think you're selling yourself way too short.
She always does this.
You know what, Lyn,
you've been chosen for this Lego competition for a reason.
This is not Lego Average. This is Lego Masters.
I've seen what you build.
Now, I believe in you, everybody else here believes in you.
You've got the skills. You've got the talent.
Keep it going. Thank you very much.
They're building a treehouse, man.
Hey, you could be really funny right now
and go in and take all the leaves.
Yeah. Their treehouse would be naked.
Is it a treehouse or is it an anthill?
No, it's a treehouse, not an anthill.
You're very funny.
(LAUGHS)
It looked like an anthill.
KALE: I think we're on track.
We're still just kind of seeing how the idea kind of forms, I guess.
You know, just throwing together...
Throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks.
That's what this phase usually is.
Kale's going head-first into his Art Deco building
and I'm focusing on building a UFO.
I wanted to contribute more,
but there's no doubt about it, Kale's taking the lead.
Gentlemen. Bilsy. Kale. How you doing, dude?
Good. How are we going here?
Bilsy is focusing on a UFO at the moment.
And I'm just kind of locking in the building, I guess.
Still haven't really decided what it's gonna look like.
Just kind of throwing a few things down
and kind of seeing what it feels like, really.
Really? OK. Alright.
I mean, from my perspective, looking at it here, you know,
you're both playing it pretty safe, right?
You know, things like vertical space,
you really need to think about using the vertical space
and challenge yourself in that way.
So, go hard. There you go. Thank you.
No worries.
(LAUGHS)
So, the Brickman said megacities.
He wants tall.
And so, maybe it's time to just go a little crazy
and pull out a few of those stops.
So, we're, like, "OK, let's deliver tall."
We can do tall.
Need anything from the room? No.
It's fine. OK.
Go.
Oh, Jordy, Jordy, Jordy, Jordy.
Lots of these. Lots of these. OK.
Thanks.
Run!
Jordy... Oh! Credit to him. That kid has not stopped running.
You could power a small town off his energy.
Jordy, how's your day been? Hectic.
Fair. How about you?
Hectic.
Boys, boys, boys. G'day.
Second level, going for a third.
I've already got all the bits ready for the third...
Oh, you've done a lot of pre-building?
Yep. Yeah, good stuff, Jordo.
Now, this is like the cultural quarter of the city.
Exactly. And every city needs one. Yep.
You know, look, I don't want to talk any smack in the first...
You can. That's alright. ..episode.
I mean, Brickman was saying that every...
He was saying that we need to build up higher
and all that sort of stuff.
So, Brickman was saying that? Yeah.
He said we're building a megacity, not a mega-Yarra Valley.
What's your response to that?
Like, it wouldn't be a very good city
if it didn't have an arts centre, if it didn't have a park.
Hang on, so you're talking smack against the judge?
Brickman said that we need to go big.
But I think...
at this point in time in the build, I would say we just ignore him.
That's not what we do.
What am I doing?
So that's just gonna go up and we're gonna go, like... We're gonna go up.
I'm just gonna build this rapid. I'm just going crazy now, OK?
Alright, guys. Time is up.
(LAUGHS)
In 7.5 hours. You're halfway.
Got it. That's the halfway mark.
But eventually time will be up.
Argh!
We need to get cracking. Yeah, let's go.
We need to go. Yep.
Today's challenge is megacity
and we have to build something amazing to get the Golden Brick,
so we're building, like, an office environment.
And I made a 'snot ball' to show our technical skills.
So, snot, S-N-O-T, stands for 'studs not on top'.
So it means we've got studs in all directions.
So that's a next-level build? Next, yeah...
Oh, right. So you want to see snotting.
I want to see lots of snot. Alright.
Lyn and Matt - snot town.
Yeah.
That is... That's a building made of snot.
He's building that all studs out. Is that exciting for you to see?
It is.
Are you rating that? Yeah.
Just adds a bit, doesn't it? That's right.
LYN: I do think I needed that encouragement from Brickman.
That just gave me more confidence
and I'm saying this is where I feel I fit,
where I'm just completing the task.
Perfect. What you're doing's really good.
G'day, guys. How's it going? Yeah. Alright.
Can I just say, this building looks...
Yeah. ..it looks awesome.
What are you in charge of at the moment, Lyn?
I'm in charge of surfacing. You know, like, every builder...
Yep. So now I'm rendering.
So, if you guys were like a wrestling team,
like, Matt gets them down and you're the finisher?
Exactly right. I haven't done wrestling.
No, that's the next reality show I think you should be on.
That's right. (LAUGHS)
So, this doesn't look like the building.
No. Where is it going? What is it?
At the moment, it looks a bit like a very weird roof.
Yep. But this is gonna be our big cloud.
It's gonna be a cloud? It's gonna be a cloud. That's right.
Over the garden? Absolutely.
Yeah, it's gonna get rained out.
So we're gonna do a big storm cloud enveloping the whole city.
Yeah, it is a little ambitious making a Lego build
that incorporates this cloud, this, like, element of weather.
Like, how do you represent such an obscure sort of thing?
But we have to prove ourselves.
We have to prove that even though I'm the youngest
and, you know, she's the... wisest in the competition,
that we can still stand up against the other teams.
I'm on this team with you for a reason.
(LAUGHS) That's it, isn't it?
Look at that. Yeah, Mamah.
Hey? Hey you. Look at that.
No doors in this one too, which means purely windows.
Height. Whatever gets us the most height.
I'm gonna begin on a crane to go really...
Keep on adding more and more height.
Alright. We're halfway in.
It's obviously Kale's Art Deco thing.
But we're definitely aiming high now.
Brickman let us know quite clearly he wanted it taller,
so we're going taller.
Mega taller. Mega taller.
Alright. I'm up to next level, man. Bang, we're going up again.
We're gonna have to start climbing to get to the top of this.
(LAUGHS) It's reached step-ladder level.
You need the stool, man.
Hey, um... Hey, mate.
..there's whispers that you want a stool.
Yes, please.
You may have to yell "Stool me, Hame," OK?
Alright. Not now.
Like, I'll go over there... I'll do it.
..and we'll make it look natural. (LAUGHS)
Like we're on TV.
You know, every show has those moments
where I think audiences sit at home and go, you know,
"Wow, this is going to the next level."
And for us, that is a literal thing. It's when someone wants a stool.
(LOUDLY) Stool me, Hame!
(LOUDLY) What's that, mate?
Stool me, Hame!
Oh, no worries!
Guys, we've officially got a team at stool height!
(CONTESTANTS CHEER)
That's it. A huge moment for television and the series.
Someone has built to stool height... MAN: Whoo!
..which is a thing we all say.
(LAUGHS) OK, here it comes.
Stools down.
There we go. That's mine. Made it up.
100% me. Yeah!
Not awkward and totally convenient to have that stool.
I thought that was gonna be me.
We have eight stools!
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
I'm gonna go out on a limb here
and say we probably won't even end up needing a stool.
Earlier on in the build, Brickman said that we need to go big
and I've kind of just realised that we forgot that
he was the judge
and that, you know, when he says build taller...
we really need to be building taller
if we want, you know, him to judge us well.
Focus on our main two buildings, taking them up as far as possible.
It's megacity, not mega-Yarra Valley.
We need to add that height. Go hard or go home.
Dude, goose bumps.
Oh, I don't like this.
I'm gonna get runnin'.
It's coming together. I'm so excited.
OK, this is supercity wall. Great.
Kaitlyn, Marielle, how you going? BOTH: Good.
How are you? It's beginning to...
It is rising. She's rising.
Yeah. It's rising.
Rising. It's like a cake.
I do feel like we're on a cooking show now.
Yeah, but hopefully doesn't collapse if it's a souffle.
There's gonna be icing on the cake.
Oh, so this is, like, a shell
and then something's gonna happen from here?
Yeah. It's not just white. (LAUGHS) Oh, the smug look...
(WOMEN LAUGH)
Just the old, "Listen, boy, we've built before."
At the moment, Hamish thinks
that this building is just gonna be white.
Like, oh, my god, that's so boring. It's all white.
Why would we build a white building?
I think he's in a bit of a shock...
when we reveal that there's going to be a splash of colour.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
I think we'll be underestimated because we're having fun...
Laughing all day. Laughing all day.
But I'm an industrial designer... And I'm a graphic designer.
..and we can bring any concept that we have to life.
It's really the same with Lego.
It's really just about how far your imagination goes.
I think we got some ideas now. Yeah.
We're super-excited to be competing in Lego Masters.
We're ready to kick everybody's...
(BOTH LAUGH)
We're ready to win. There we go. OK. And we're ready to win.
We're good. (LAUGHS) We are.
Oh, crud nuggets.
Three hours, dude. MILLER: Oooh.
Whoo!
So I might just do a little mound or something.
What do you reckon? That's fine.
Put some effort in. Put some effort in, people.
(WOMAN LAUGHS) You're lazy.
Tree count - one.
Oh, I really like that. Yeah.
Yeah, and then, like, extend that one.
You know, we want to stand out.
You know, Lego bricks are all about colours and rainbows.
We really want this building to be bold
and also show a bit of technical ability.
What we're hoping for...
Is it just gonna do that?
That's fine.
Something like that, if it will hold.
Yep. A paint can. That's it.
There's your colour. Oh... (BOTH LAUGH)
Oh...
Speechless if we did get the Golden Brick.
Yeah, you'll be matching with your gold outfit, so maybe that's a sign.
OK, so we want to take this down.
Oh!
Oh, my gosh. We need to fix it.
Feels like an ad break, doesn't it? (WOMEN LAUGH)
Definitely. It does to me. Please...
I know it's the first time I've done this,
but it's got that feel about it.
Oh...
Today's challenge is to build a megacity.
We're building a town centre
and we need to get some height on as fast as we can.
We're not really super 100% certain on where it's going.
Everybody's detailing.
I'm just going for as much height as possible
but leaving room for detail.
I need more flowers.
We need more flowers? Yeah.
I want to put more people as well. There's not enough.
I think this is just where we go cray-cray.
Awesome, baby.
Hey, Lyn, I know you're busy but the producers have just asked me,
just to create a bit of spice,
if you could go just next door to the table over here
and maybe just sort of shove Kale or something,
just to create a bit of tension.
I beg your pardon!
Just give him a push or see if you can physically ark him up.
Just to create a bit of, you know, TV tension.
We talked about this beforehand.
I'm joking, I'm joking. We're not gonna do it.
(LAUGHS) I'm joking, Lyn. You don't have to push Kale.
Just a joke. No, non-contact. You caught me.
There will be no 'Love Island' bikini snapping, pushing people in the pool.
You're totally safe. (BOTH LAUGH)
All I have to do now is work out, how can I get back at him?
Just got to work on that one.
Just fit.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
There we go.
Ah! Love it when a plan comes together.
Alright, guys, I just want everyone's attention.
I just want you to know we're not the kind of show
that, like, panics everyone when we're getting right to the end of it,
because I know you're, like, right at a delicate stage,
so just gently letting...
Actually, no, we are that kind of show. Sorry. You've got one hour!
Go, go, go! (ALARM BLARES)
One hour! Red lights! Panic!
But still keep building gently.
Look, the feeling in the room now is a bit like our scene.
I feel like the monster is approaching
and like one of these buildings, I am falling apart a little bit.
(PANTS)
Just trying to get as many leaves on as possible
so it actually feels like it's a full tree.
HENRY: Lego is one of the most recognised shapes on the planet.
But we love trying to break that mould -
going off stud, changing the different angles of each brick.
It's got to look like a tree.
Just trying to make it as best as it can be.
I like your tree.
Thanks, mate.
This is the type of thing that I will build at home...
Yeah? ..but run out of brown bricks.
Yeah? (LAUGHS) It is just...
It's magical. I love it.
Thanks, dude. Thanks, man.
(LAUGHS) Thanks, mate.
But it's still a tree.
(MEN LAUGH) I like it.
Thanks, mate. Thanks, mate.
KALE: We can do it. BILSY: Don't do it.
Oh... So...
It's become clear I'm not gonna really be able to get much higher
in terms of my Art Deco building, just 'cause I'm short,
so I'm looking there thinking, "What can I fix?"
And the UFO...
I don't believe in ever giving anything less than your best.
It's very important to never really settle.
That drive for perfection in everything you do...
My UFO wasn't up to Kale's standard.
No. Not at all.
Hello, guys. Welcome to red time.
How you doing? I'm excellent.
How are you doing, more importantly?
He's just changing the ship a little bit more again.
When you say changing the ship...
I mean, that looks like a complete rebuild to me.
There's a difference between changing and a complete rebuild.
What's the story?
Um...
Details that I thought maybe could be significantly improved...
was maybe the ship.
Have you built that ship? In process, yeah.
Yep. And you built this ship? Yeah.
How do you feel about that? Uh...
I mean, you know, he obviously had tastes...
He doesn't like my taste. OK.
Alright. Good luck. Thank you.
HAMISH: Guys, you've got ten minutes left...
MAN: Eh!
..which, off the top of my head,
is about 1.1% of the challenge, I think, to go.
I think my maths are right.
We're just gonna have to...
I don't think we're gonna be able to push any taller.
We can't go for height right now. Like...
We've just gotta focus on getting it all together, you know...
Yeah, just get as much done as possible.
Um... Yep.
Sorry.
Minutes to go. How much can still change?
A lot. (SMASH!)
Matt, I mean, he's just literally lost half his building.
That's how much can change.
I know how to do it. No, that's fine.
Oh, my god.
How's that?
That is the wobbliest thing I've ever seen.
No, that's gonna go, G.
You need to add some structural integrity there.
Alright, guys, you've got two minutes.
Well done. You've got two minutes to go.
This is great, but this is where it gets intense.
Let's go, G.
Just be careful.
I've never moved a giant city block on these but I'd get it there.
Oh, no... Oh, no.
You grab things that fall.
Look, it does have to be in there by the time that hits zero.
I don't know how this will work... You push, I'll build.
Seriously, give me the space.
Huh? Two steps back.
Nice and easy. Careful, careful.
You're gonna hit the thing.
BRICKMAN: How awesome. Great stuff.
How awesome.
That looks awesome.
You have one minute.
Careful, dude. Careful. Oh, dude...
It's alright, it's alright. Slow. Take it slow.
I would definitely be weighing up if I would slightly jog.
Look at it shake, man. Go the shake test.
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
We've gotta put this up at the top. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, got it? Hold on. Not yet, not yet.
Alright, go, go, go. You've got 30 seconds.
Slowly.
Slow, slow, slow.
Yeah, we did it.
Yeah!
Push, push, push, push, push, push, push.
Gentle.
Yes!
G and Dave, it's a race between you and the red world record line
right to the end.
You've got ten seconds.
Some people are high-fiving. Push it in.
I would love you guys to be in the bunch of people that are high-fiving.
Four, three, two...
One. That is it.
That's it. Oh, well done, boys.
Well done.
Well done, mate. Well done.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Alright, guys, you had 15 hours to do your part of this city block.
And I'm blown away. I am blown away by what you've made.
Well done. I'm sure Australia's blown away.
Give yourselves a round of applause. Unreal.
However, before the ceremony
of the Golden Brick handover can be completed,
obviously Brickman and I need to look at this.
He's gonna make up his mind. Why don't we start here?
David and G, let's go and have a look.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
It's the first build. A little bit of nervousness.
Today, Brickman is looking for a story...
Aesthetics. And technical skills.
I hope we've done what he wanted.
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
Can we look inside? Yes.
I mean, there's a lot inside. We can open it up for you.
You open it up. 'Cause you don't touch anyone's Lego, do you?
That's the rule.
There you go.
It's a lead glass window
with the sun shining through on the floor there.
Jeez, that's amazing.
So, the name of this one is 'Lego Sale and the Holy Fail'.
There's a Lego sale going on down the road
and the groom has decided he's leaving the wedding
and he's going to get that cheap Technic kit
and the bride's about to walk in the door.
That's why we have the angel above.
So, when the groom comes back, he's in a lot of trouble 'cause...
He would need her. That's right.
Are you happy with this?
We're both very happy, I think.
The detail's phenomenal. Like, there is no bride piece.
How long did you spend on wedding dresses, bride dresses all up?
About an hour. You spent an hour on dresses?
And bouquets.
Brickman, from a Lego perspective, what have we got?
So, one of the things I really like
is in the way that you've got these doors to open.
You snuck in a lot of Technic Lego
and to hide it the way you have,
I think you've ticked the technical box.
I'm really happy with the aesthetics too.
But the story, it's not obvious to an outsider.
They don't know that there's a Lego sale going on,
so you probably need to think a little bit
about how can you make the story a bit simpler to communicate that.
But overall, I think it's a fantastic model and well done, guys.
No worries. Thank you. Thank you.
Well done. Well done.
So, we're happy with what we've built.
We're just thinking, "Have we done enough?"
Well done. Nice work.
Henry and Cade, to the city.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
Man, we just worked 15 hours. I hope Brickman likes it.
Dude, epic build.
Good luck, mate.
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
The name of our build is called 'The Wolf of Neverland'.
Oooh.
Peter Pan, he comes to the big smoke with all his Lost Boys
after he defeats Captain Hook.
Great touch.
They've thrown away all their childhood toys...
All their bows and arrows.
..and they're living in their corporate treehouse.
He's on a pile of money. Yeah.
They're all about the green now.
And he's put Wendy up in the penthouse.
She's overseeing the corporation. (LAUGHS)
Yeah. Brickman, what's your take?
I think the story is amazing.
To a layperson, it looks great as a tree.
That's because you've nailed it.
These branches in different angles,
it's not easy to build what we call off-stud.
You're working at different angles. It's so unexpected.
Huge call to build a tree,
but massively paid off because it looks sensational.
We said this is not Lego Amateurs, this is Lego Masters
and you've really taken that concept, so I say well done.
Great job, lads. Thank you very much.
It's amazing. Well done. Thanks.
Yeah... He loves it, man.
He loves it. I know. We did it.
I can't believe the treehouse in a megacity
with Peter Pan being a corporate gangster...
Yeah, boy! Don't ever do that again.
OK. (LAUGHS)
Nice work. Thank you.
Good job. Thanks, guys.
I will now summon Miller and Jordan.
Seeing everybody else's builds,
they're going for size and maybe that is what Brickman's looking for.
We kind of just disregarded his comments,
so this is a very nerve-racking moment.
Miller and Jordan.
We really want to win this Golden Brick
because being safe from an elimination round,
that is so amazing.
And looking around the room, seeing everybody else's builds,
I feel like we're going to need that down the line.
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
The title is 'A Trip Through Time'.
Oh, OK. Excellent.
So, essentially, the story is,
down here, we've got, like, founders of the city.
As you go up each layer, it gets more and more modern.
We start ye olde, we go to bricks
and we go through the period where there are, like, pipes and valves.
Yep. And then we end up at spaceships.
At spaceships. Pretty much.
Exactly. I like.
We know you guys have got the technical skill -
I can see that in the building,
using little parts to make interesting things,
the air-conditioning ducts, that kind of stuff.
But you know what, it's two separate builds.
I'm seeing your build and I'm seeing your build.
I'm not seeing a cohesive unit, right?
Yep. Also, guys, way too small.
Megacity, not mega-Yarra Valley. Yep.
You've got the skills to do it.
You've got to back yourself, take them and run with it, alright?
Awesome, guys. Well done. Great build.
Thanks.
If we had have done this sort of thing at home,
it would've been awesome. Yeah.
But we're in a competition and it's just not good enough at this point.
Looks good. Kaitlyn and Marielle.
The name of the entire block is 'Defying Gravity Square'.
This gallery is Immersive Arts and this building is called Hotel Pop.
So, the paint,
it's got to be one of the coolest things thus far that we've seen.
If I saw this building somewhere, I'd go,
"That's an amazing building" and get a photo with it, right?
There you are. He's got more hair.
A young Brickman. (LAUGHTER)
Gayan and Dinushi. Good luck, guys.
DINUSHI: We're calling it 'Life After Work'.
After work, you meet up with friends,
have a drink, chill out at the park.
Take in the local sculpture, if one's available.
Go to the pool. Go to the pool. Have a swim.
It looks like a megacity but there's no real story to it.
Jimmy and Maddy.
MADDY: We have 'Showdown In Megatown'.
JIMMY: Jim Thewloo, an alternative version of myself,
started to attack Megatown.
Cue Maddy-a-tron... OK.
..which is me in Lego form... Uh-huh.
..come to save the day.
Love the story. However, let's look at the pose of the monster.
You know, monsters attack. Yeah.
They don't sit here and do... Right?
(LAUGHS) OK.
Kale and Bilsy to the city.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
KALE: We are absolutely the clear contender for the Golden Brick
and that is 100% why I'm here in this competition.
But that UFO, it's not good enough.
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
Guys, do you have a title of your build for Brickman?
'Hope'. 'Hope'?
Yeah. This is 'Hope'.
As they say, hope must have a crane at the top to build more hope.
Well, I'd really like to hear the story.
Everything in the build
is reflecting that idea of hope and helpfulness
that is at the core of the human spirit.
From here, we've got the businessman who's dropped his briefcase
and everybody's coming to help.
We've got the spaceships that crashed.
All the people from the Lego exhibition
rushing forward to help out...
So there's a Lego exhibition going on in the building?
Yep. Bam.
Overall, the story, that's hard to communicate to people
coming up and looking at it.
But from a technical perspective,
the fact that you've gone high, I love.
I wanted to go another metre taller.
Another metre. (LAUGHS)
And the biggest thing that's made me happy about this build
is we've gone with your spaceship.
Yep. Right?
So you guys had this whole thing
about you weren't happy with this spaceship.
I actually like your spaceship.
The use of colour on it is really good.
I'm glad you really backed yourself.
You've really gotta be confident and really go for it.
Great work. Thank you.
Nice, boys. Well done. Thank you.
Thanks, guys.
Looking back at that build, we did well.
We went high.
We ticked the boxes of what I thought they were looking for.
And we're out of time.
No, we do have time for one more. Matt, Lyn, please.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
MATT: I'm harbouring doubts,
especially looking around at what other people have done.
I would've wanted to do a little bit more.
My biggest worry is that I've let Matt down.
Matt, Lyn, please.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
Today, we have to build a megacity block.
But we may not have exactly nailed everything
that Brickman wanted us to do.
I think our building's a little boring.
I wanted to do a little bit more.
(BRIGHT MUSIC)
This is the 'Cumulo Square'.
The big story is obviously we have this big thundercloud.
Severely localised storm. Absolutely.
(WHIRRING) Is this thunder that we're hearing?
Thunder and rain, yeah.
We wanted to incorporate as many of the senses as we could.
Can you tell us how the thunder and rain is working?
You can see in there. It's like a baby's rattle.
Beautiful.
If I even hold my hand under here,
you can see the lights flicking, indicating lightning.
I think that's fantastic.
And the fact that this entire building is made of snot -
you've got studs going in every direction - that's really amazing.
So, a couple of things I'd think to improve on.
No cloud's ever got square edges like this, right?
Just round them off. Simple little things like that.
And perhaps a little bit of work on your story too.
Yep.
Overall, I think it's a fantastic build and well done.
Awesome. Well done, guys. Well done.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER)
LYN: I'm very proud.
There's confirmation that as a team we have a place in this competition.
We deserve to be here.
After 15 hours, you have built something truly phenomenal.
I can feel that you want to know who has finally earned the Golden Brick.
HENRY: We want to win the Golden Brick.
We want to be the team to beat.
Remember, if you win the sacred brick,
it could be the difference between 100 grand or not.
The significance obviously is huge. I want it.
I want it in my back pocket.
But people at home that have checked the TV guide would be aware
this is a 90-minute episode,
so obviously there is plenty of time left in the episode.
This is a reality show... and there is a twist.
(GASPS)
You are not finished building your city block.
You've got three hours to put your block under attack.
Oh...
Under attack from anything, whatever you imagine.
Except Jimmy and Maddy - I can see your faces.
You already did the twist. (LAUGHTER)
This was coming the whole way. You just sort of anticipated it.
For you guys, and you guys only,
you're defending against your giant green monster.
MADDY AND JIMMY: OK.
When I make a giant Lego model, I don't have the opportunity
to just stand by it the whole time and talk about it.
You're not gonna get a chance to explain your builds this time.
What?
You guys have to make sure it's the bricks doing the talking.
At the moment, I have two teams which are clear leaders.
Henry and Cade, your tree is awesome.
Kale and Bilsy, you really listened to my instructions about height.
I think it's fantastic.
And I would just like to state that when I told you guys about the twist,
I started the clock.
Oh! No, I didn't. No, I didn't.
But it does start now, so, go, go, go. Have at it.
Oh!
OK, wait, just take it up...
Three tiny hours. Oh, my god.
Go, go, go, go, go.
Oh, wow.
Side note, congratulations on sort of doing the twist.
JORDAN: We can still win this!
Just full steam.
Dude, obviously we have to go aliens.
Aliens? We need to lean on your strengths.
Yep. We know what we want to do. Yep.
We're gonna build a mech.
Build Captain Hook pirate mechs. Yeah, yeah.
If you make a Hook, he should have Tinkerbell in a cage
and we're trying to save Tinkerbell.
Yep. That'll be our story.
I'm not gonna let this Golden Brick fall through our fingers.
I'm really not. We're gonna get this done.
I'm sure they did this twist just to wind me up again.
No, it's good, man. It's good. I got this.
We're gonna build a new but massive... Massive.
Like an archangel. I was thinking the same thing.
And then you'll have big wings that kind of come out.
Psshhh...
Isn't this great? Isn't this great? (LAUGHS) No.
Isn't this a great twist? Yeah. She said yes. Yep.
(EXHALES)
Yeah, I'm, like, "Well, OK.
"Obviously the Golden Brick is not ours."
It's anybody's game right now. It's time to get serious.
We ain't done nothin' yet. (LAUGHS)
We've got to build something now coming in
and destroying what we had built before.
Attacking. Attacking, destroying. Yeah.
So, in my head, what I'm thinking right now
is having a little green alien crashing through a building.
And I've got a good plan for how we can logistically make this happen.
It's time to get higher. No.
A little green alien came through the building.
That only works if we put the extra floor in
to get a crater going through.
The building we had before was big. I want it to be bigger.
Let's go mad crazy.
Yep.
What? What did you say? Try and do it in a way...
Sorry, you keep going.
(EXCLAIMS)
Well, we spent 15 hours building it and now we get to take it apart.
That's it. Yep. Good.
You got that? Yep, yep, yep, yep.
Our idea is that the agents of darkness
are basically infecting our city block.
That's it. OK. That's it.
Alright. Good. Good.
Which is why we have to just take the building down.
Now we have nothing. (LAUGHS)
Do you have the brick?
Maybe build a complete ball. That's alright.
Alright. Alright, alright, alright, alright.
Our story is gonna be
the city's gonna be under attack from meteorites.
Perfect. That is actually really good.
(EXCLAIMS)
Alright, guys, I've got good news and bad news.
What?
The bad news is, an hour has already gone.
But the good news is, you have two left.
How did that happen?
Let's just really pump it up.
Two hours, my man. Where did the hour go now?
We're gonna do this, G, and it's gonna be delicious.
Weird, but I'm gonna keep going with it
'cause I reckon I can figure it out.
Come on.
How you going with it, Jordy?
Whoa!
Not so good, apparently. Nice.
I mean, we're both thinking the same thing.
BOTH: Sci-fi.
OK, so I'm building the aliens.
Miller's currently trying to build, like, some form of alien ship
that will be up here 'cause we need to get some height going.
Little green men.
Little green men and UFOs, abductions...
Dude, nice.
This is our time to 100% redeem ourselves
and just go all the way up.
Go on. There we go.
OK, well, we've got a winky alien.
Nice.
Winning.
Oh, god.
G doesn't want to break the church.
It's a good-looking church. It's a good-looking church.
But we had to. We had to. It is what it is.
Are we gonna go that way?
So we went for a military-coloured plane bombing the church.
Tell me our angel's still there. Is the angel still there?
No, the angel's gone. The dresses are intact?
They're gonna go. They're gonna go?
Yeah. You're gonna lose your dresses?
Nobody can survive what's gonna happen here.
Oh, it's that serious? It's all over.
The father-in-law found out that the groom's on his way out the door,
so he went home...take his Second World War bomber plane...
Jeez, he's moved fast. That's a hard-core father-in-law.
Now, nobody died.
The beautiful church is about to really...
It's coming to a close, Hamish.
It's coming to an end.
MAN: Lyn, what are you looking for there?
Looking for black things to make black things.
I'm trying to put together the wings for this big dragon
that we're gonna have on there.
What do you reckon, Mamah?
This is kind of the skeleton of the wing.
Right.
Does it need to be any bigger than that? No.
When they announced the twist, I love that.
That's such a great thing because this is a second chance.
Now we can build something a little more fantastical than a cloud
using Lego bricks in really, really interesting ways.
So we're gonna have this big yellow dragon,
the wing of which I'm building here
and it's gonna be attached to the side of this building here
and we're gonna have a big tail wrapping around the side.
I'm doing the little what he calls minions.
Or baby dragons flying around the outside.
Yes.
We want to create something that's super-impressive.
We want top two and that Golden Brick.
Alright, guys, I'm sure this is not what many people want to hear
but you have one hour till it's over.
(ALARM BLARES) There's the lights to back me up.
Thank you, lights. (SIGHS) That is not enough.
I'm shakin', man.
It's going on, man. There it is.
It is up there.
Look at it in its glory. Alright.
I like it, G. I like that.
The twist was to damage the building.
We've met the brief for sure but we didn't have to build on top of that.
Right now, Kale's building up higher
and I'm thinking, "If this thing falls over..."
Listen, listen, instead of worrying about going higher...
No, no.
..can we worry about detailing the monsters?
The decision to go higher...
Oh, shit.
..certainly that for me is the way
that we bring the building back into part of this.
Cut that down. Cut it down really quick.
No.
I'm gonna make that happen. Cut it down, Kale.
You've gotta cut it down. We don't have time to build a building.
We really don't. Just cut it. It's too late. We're committed.
Oh...
Do what you can to repair it, please.
Uh, yeah, that's not gonna happen in ten minutes. No way.
Do what you can to repair it, please.
Uh, yeah, that's not gonna happen.
You can rebuild that. Come on.
Fix it, then. Get something happening.
Get life happening.
Come on, we've got to work together, brother.
Yeah... You know we do. You know we do.
I'm a little worried we're not working well enough.
Just get that building up there, man.
Alright, guys, five minutes.
And 'cause I'm a super-nice TV host, I'm gonna sweep a path,
so when you're ready, hopefully you should have a Lego-free path
to move your builds back into the city.
So, five... Close to four and a half minutes.
Good luck. Oooh!
Do you want me to lift my feet up? OK.
Oh, my god. Thank you.
I'll give you guys a little sweep. Thanks so much, Hamish.
Cheers. I don't even know where to begin.
You two, oh, I'm gonna kick you out of the house.
Just ignore the help.
(LAUGHS)
Alright, Mamah. Almost finished on the second wing.
Have you got a head for him? Working on it, yeah.
Man, I'm worried. I am actually worried.
Looking around, I can see some massive changes.
Looking at our build, I wonder if we've played it a little bit safe.
We're in the top two. Brickman was loving what we were making.
I still think we can pull it out of the bag, mate.
We live on pressure. This is what we do.
We're gonna do it. Alrighty.
Good job, man. Good job with the mechs.
Hook's got a hook. Tinkerbell looks great in that cage too.
That was awesome.
Alright, that's lined up. JORDAN: Dude, that's wicked.
Dude, you're going ham with those aliens.
It's a full-on alien invasion right now.
MATT: Alright, here we go. Putting the big guy on.
I love it. I love it. I love it.
Alright. Head.
(LAUGHS)
We got this, Mamah.
(LAUGHS)
Next thing. We need to keep it moving.
Next thing, next thing, next thing. What's this off?
No time to slow down.
Under attack from little green alien.
Or big green alien.
Alright, guys. Alrighty, it is two minutes to go.
Bang on two minutes. You can start moving your models now.
I promise, this is it.
This is what the Golden Brick will be judged on.
WOMAN: Oh, my god. No more twists.
Just go slow. Yep.
Just be careful, just be careful. You go, you go.
Watch that bump. I'm gonna hold it.
Get around the other side, get around the other side.
I want you balancing that crane.
Slow and steady.
Oh, god... No, it's fine. It's fine.
It's fine, it's fine, it's fine. I'll keep moving.
Yep.
Can you put it back together? Yep, I can.
I can't put that back together, though.
Hang on.
Shit. Sorry, guys.
Come on, guys. Let's go.
Mill, you have a minute. Do you reckon you can do it?
OK, baby, we're doing really good.
Alright.
If I was a betting man,
I would say it looks 50/50 that everyone's gonna make it.
Gayan and Dinushi, not that I want to add any more pressure
onto what's already been a hectic day,
but you are last for the lock-in.
It looks good, Matt. Hey, we've done it.
13 seconds.
Go! 11 seconds. No pressure.
Except for all the pressure to get it in five, four...
Oh, my god, it's gonna be perfect. Two... One!
Unbelievable!
(WOMAN LAUGHS) (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Three hours ago, you were told to put your block under attack.
Everybody took things to a crazy 'nother level.
We're gonna take a closer look at them now.
Why don't we start with you guys? David and G.
(CONTESTANTS APPLAUD)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Since the bricks have to do the talking,
I'll have to try and figure out what's going on here.
It's obviously a wedding from hell.
There was an angel of forgiveness on the cloud originally
and now it seems to be unfortunately a plane dropping bombs on the city.
Not a great wedding. But that is a great plane.
What we do when we try and make a Lego model
is capture a moment in time and I reckon you've nailed that perfectly.
You could have it all smashed up on the ground
but to have it right midst fall, I think that's awesome.
Overall, love your work, guys. Well done.
No worries. Well done, fellas.
Henry and Cade. (CONTESTANTS APPLAUD)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Obviously we've got a construction gang
that is attacking the idyllic settings
of corporate Peter Pan world.
Tinkerbell's been captured. Is Captain Hook in this?
Yeah, Captain Hook's driving this robot at the front here.
But he has no hook? He's got a hook on his robot.
Gotcha.
The attention to detail really is amazing.
The fact that the workers are carrying crowbars
and construction gear and that kind of stuff...
However, you've really played it safe, haven't you?
I totally love the robot idea.
Instead of three little ones, why not make a giant one with a chainsaw
to chop the tree down, really take a bit of a risk?
Before the twist, you were in the top two.
The question would be, are you still there?
Miller and Jordan. Good luck, guys.
(CONTESTANTS APPLAUD) Good luck.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
It meets the brief. Your building is under attack.
UFO seems to have deployed a forward force of aliens or monsters.
A couple of real positives for me.
First thing is, you really listened
when I said I think you're struggling with height.
So, to fix that, you immediately said, "Let's make our UFO up high."
That's to be commended. Yes!
Second thing is, I love the story. I think you've turned it around.
Have you done enough to get up there? Let's see.
Jimmy and Maddy, you guys had to defend rather than attack.
Before, we had a small Super Maddy. She's been Maddified.
The story is amazeballs
but when you were putting Super Maddy up,
I could see you were really trying to get her to stay up on her own.
A couple of more advanced techniques will allow you to do that.
You really wouldn't need the clear bricks.
Gayan and Dinushi. Is it just a general fireball asteroid attack?
General asteroid attack.
I love your atlas ball
and you've got that great skill of showing how the ball goes.
And what you've basically done
is copied and replaced with your asteroids.
You've obviously got the ball skill. Try something different.
Kaitlyn, Marielle.
This was like a building that celebrated...
Powerful building. And what is the enemy of colour?
The darkness. Darkness.
We call them agents of darkness. Mm-hm.
From an aesthetic point of view,
the whole theme of your thing was colour -
the paint dripping, all of that kind of stuff.
To go to the negative of that and use the black and the darkness,
that's awesome.
BOTH: Thank you. Awesome, guys. Well done.
Alright, so let's take a closer look at Kale and Bilsy.
(CONTESTANTS APPLAUD)
KALE: We started the twist top two,
so obviously the Golden Brick is mine.
We've got this in the bag. Easy.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
I don't know where to start.
You've way overthought this.
Kale and Bilsy.
Awesome, guys. I'll take a high-ten. Yes. Well done.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
If I had to guess the story,
it seems like the aliens come out through that wall,
only 'cause I'm just using a bit of 'CSI' forensic evidence -
there's a little bit of green around that window.
I don't know where to start. You've way overthought this.
The brief was attack.
You guys spent a fair bit of time adding another couple of storeys.
You were already the tallest building.
You didn't need to go any higher.
And if I'm honest with you both,
I don't think you're working as a team.
And Kale, I think you've got to become a team player.
This is a one-way build and Bilsy's just a passenger.
I don't think that works.
If you've got any chance of winning the Golden Brick and going forward,
you have to work as a team.
If you don't, I don't think you'll make it.
You know, you're not gonna win without me,
I'm not gonna win without you.
That's what we've got to bear.
Let's just get it together, for the sake of the competition.
Yeah. That's what I'm trying to do.
Lyn and Matt, to the city.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
(ROUSING MUSIC)
Matt, Lyn, obviously, the dragon,
it's probably the most eye-catching thing in the whole city.
You know it's good, right? Yeah.
Yeah, it's awesome. I'm very proud of it.
It's OK. Just wanted to get that on the record.
So, I think this is the most technically advanced build
out of our entire megacity.
(CONTESTANTS APPLAUD)
I'm really pleased you've said that.
You really pushed yourself to complete it.
You used a lot of crazy different elements in here,
stuff that you would just never use.
Those lampposts... Are they lampposts?
Yeah.
And the contrast in colour, even, right?
You've gone for the orange versus the blue.
You know, Lego's dancing for you at the moment. I really love that.
Lyn, I like it how you sort of said,
"OK, he's obviously got this thing in his mind.
"I'll build a little baby dragon and I'll make 50 of them."
Really loved how you did that.
That's teamwork working, right?
The story is amazing. You've got it going on.
Well done, guys. Well done. Well done.
(CONTESTANTS APPLAUD) Alright.
OK, guys...
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM) ..this is what you have come for.
The Golden Brick will protect someone from an upcoming elimination.
Now, tradition dictates,
for the ceremony of the Golden Brick to be executed properly,
the two leading teams shall be called forth
to approach but not yet touch the Golden Brick.
(LAUGHTER) Brickman, who are our top two teams?
The first team...
Henry and Cade.
Well done, guys. (CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
Nice. Put it there, man.
And the other team that's really impressed me...
Matt and Lyn, please come forward.
So, Henry and Cade, your model was amazing.
That crazy tree with limbs growing everywhere.
Your technical skill was fantastic. Really great job.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Matt and Lyn, to take that risk
and put that dragon on the outside of the building, amazing stuff.
You had three things to tick off - technical skills,
a story that had to tell itself
and aesthetics to make it look beautiful.
So, only one team ticked all three boxes.
Congratulations, Matt and Lyn.
(CONTESTANTS CHEER AND APPLAUD)
Oh, Mamah.
Well done, guys.
Congratulations. Congratulations.
I told you. I told you.
Congratulations, man.
Great build.
We now stand by for the presentation of the Golden Brick.
(LAUGHS) It is yours.
Well done, guys. Well done.
We're the winner of this part of the competition.
What?
I mean, Matty and Lyn, it was the dragon that pushed it over the top.
You've got the Golden Brick in your hands.
Probably impossible to put it into words,
but if you could, how do you feel?
I'm glad and a little surprised.
All the builds were, like, exceptional.
There's tears of joy.
CONTESTANTS: Oh!
We've done it! Episode one!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(LAUGHS) We're flying!
This build's been a real rollercoaster,
the only difference being
that a rollercoaster starts low and ends low.
We started low but we're ending high.
Massive builds. I think you've earned a rest.
You're gonna love what we've got for you tomorrow
but for now, well done.
Awesome.
You can hit the showers. And it's real water.
It's not just little bits and pieces of blue Lego coming on you.
You can genuinely take a rest.
Next time, disaster strikes Lego Masters.
(CONTESTANTS SQUEAL)
But it is deliberate.
You are building things to destroy them in amazing ways.
WOMAN: Wow!
(WOMAN SQUEALS)
And with every team competing to make the most spectacular smash...
Oooh! We're gonna blow stuff up.
..their builds are so good, it's kind of a shame to destroy them.
Absolutely. Yep.
(CONTESTANTS LAUGH)
