HAMISH: Previously on Lego Masters...
Apologies for the delay. I've just been to the future.
I saw who won the show.
Bit of a surprise. Not you think.
(LAUGHTER)
In a massive movie theme challenge,
we saw some of the most epic builds yet.
I think it's absolutely awesome.
That is the boldest thing you have done in Lego Masters to date
and I think it really paid off.
HAMISH: But Kale and Bilsy went just a little...
Um... a little too big.
The biggest issue that I have with the build:
its scale.
But it was Jimmy and Maddy who just came up short...
I love the fact that you challenged yourselves
but not quite up to Jimmy and Maddy standard.
..and were eliminated.
This whole experience has, like, been a highlight of my life.
I couldn't agree more.
(APPLAUSE) See you later!
Tonight, four teams remain.
HENRY: Being the pointy end of the competition,
I think everyone's got their game faces on.
I can tell right now, everyone wants to win.
Oh, yes! Oh, nice.
HAMISH: A trip through time...
Prehistoric, Mediaeval, The Wild West, and The Future.
..is all that stands between them and a spot in the finale.
Oh, boy. We want to be there.
We want to have that chance of that 100 grand.
That title of Lego Masters.
Ow.
HAMISH: There will be blood...
What's going on? What's going on?
Medic, Medic!
..sweat...
and just general panic.
This is the build that will get you in the grand final...
JORDAN: Have it all under control?
DAVID: I've got to get him out of this rut.
Alright.
..and a competition favourite will be sent home.
I'm going to be looking at you for potential elimination today.
(TENSE MUSIC)
It worked. Yeah.
Hello, gang.
Welcome back.
Alrighty, guys. Welcome.
This is the penultimate episode.
This is the episode before the grand final of Lego Masters.
You guys are the final four teams.
Congratulations on making it this far.
Today, one team will be leaving us.
Of those three teams,
one of those teams will become the first ever Lego Masters
and will pick up 100 grand as well as the snazzy trophy.
We are the young guys in the competition
and we're facing some really great, talented older builders,
and we've just got a hope that our youthful ways
are the way to go.
Brickman,
is it anyone's at the moment?
The good thing is about each build, it's a fresh start.
So, at the minute, the scores are level.
Do you guys want to know what you are building
to get through to the grand final?
Yep. Yep.
Alright. I can tell you this.
It's the biggest build of the series so far.
Biggest build?
I haven't hit those light fixtures yet.
Come on. Get me a step ladder here.
Come to the other room.
Oh, yes!
HAMISH: Here she is.
(TRAIN HORN TOOTS)
Yes!
Someone's excited.
This is awesome.
Does anyone reckon they know what this is?
I can see a bit of, like, maybe time travelling
with the warp tunnels.
Not 100% sure.
So, you reckon it's like a time train
that's going through four different eras?
Could be. Yeah, absolutely.
Way off. (LAUGHS)
Way off. What a ridiculous guess.
No, that's actually spot-on.
Um... (LAUGHTER)
That is spot on.
Welcome to Lego Time Train.
(TRAIN HORN BLOWS)
We have got four distinct periods through time.
Prehistoric, Mediaeval,
The Wild West, and The Future.
The time train is able to travel effortlessly
through these eras and that is what will connect all the builds.
Jordan and Miller, do you have a world you would prefer?
It's got to be the future.
We can play to our strengths, which is sci-fi.
A good day to play to your strengths.
David and G, do you have a preference?
The middle two, easily.
Middle two. Mediaeval, Wild West.
That's what G's into when we're building normally,
so he would love those two.
So, you don't want to do the future, G?
No.
Not into it? No.
Alright.
So, it will be a mini figure pick to see what era you get.
Jordan and Miller, you guys are first.
Show me the swan.
And you've got mediaeval.
Hey! Alright.
(APPLAUSE)
Feeling good with that?
There's a lot we can do with mediaeval
because, like, it's so cool.
G, you've just lost 50% of the two you were happy to get.
Alright, David and G, you guys are next.
And G, it will all come down to your hands.
You wanted Mediaeval and Wild West.
Congratulations, sir.
You have selected The Future.
(BLEEP) the future.
(LAUGHTER)
You seem ecstatic with that pick.
G?
The future is not bright.
I'll let you get to the line to celebrate amongst yourselves.
(LAUGHTER)
Henry and Cade. Swan it.
Wild West. Wild West.
Alright.
Celebratory pistols into the air.
Pew, pew! Happy with that?
Yeah. Kale and Bilsy.
A quick pick.
You're prehistoric cavewoman.
Happy with that? Yeah.
Good luck. Yep, thanks.
(APPLAUSE)
Brickman, what are you going to be looking for in these builds?
This is important.
Obviously, we have our three things.
Of course, technical skill, aesthetics, and storytelling.
But I want to hit you with a few little other ones today.
The first one is we're going to be working to one scale.
That's Lego minifigure scale.
They are our heroes and villains today.
Minifigure scale is basically a world that works
with the minifigures.
Such as their chairs, their seats, whatever else works in their world.
It needs to correspond to four and half bricks tall.
The next point I'm looking for
is there is only one thing travelling through time.
That's the train.
Got Wild West, for example's sake, Wild West related.
Stick inside your allocated theme.
Alrighty. Wise Lego words from Brickman
and you've got 16 hours to build your world.
Your time starts now.
Good luck, everybody.
That's my plan, too. Let's just...
Do you want to go and have a look at the plan, Cade?
Yeah, man. Let's go.
G: I have no idea...
how to pull this thing off.
OK. So...
We've already done the dragon attacking the castle,
so why don't we do...
The castle attacking the dragon. ..the castle attacking the dragon?
Today, we've got mediaeval.
So, our plan is to build a giant castle.
Within the castle, it will have the King
and all his knights and they're about to go slay a dragon.
Miller and I, we do know a lot about mediaeval stuff,
so we've got King Jordy building a castle
and King Miller building a dragon and it's going to be wicked.
I can do a castle, no problems.
Just build fast. Yeah?
Yeah. Obviously.
In the past, we've had a little bit of a rocky relationship with time.
She's a cruel mistress. (LAUGHS)
Jordy, I reckon have a schedule each.
Yeah. So, break the 16 hours down each.
Yeah? Yeah.
But this is the build that we are going to beat time.
We have our little schedules, we've got everything drawn out.
How much do you want for the castle?
At least eight.
We're going to finish the build with a couple of minutes left,
we're going to sit back, relax have our table clean.
It's all going to be beautiful.
This is the one.
Let's dragon.
What we got here, mate?
I don't know.
I'm so disappointed.
I pick the future.
What are you seeing when you see this?
I see nothing.
And I was a bit like a stubborn child.
I wanted that Wild West.
Let's think about P maybe a bit of the future.
Future ships, build some cool, like, cool-looking ships.
What do you reckon?
I don't watch a lot of sci-fi movies,
so when we talk space, I can't see anything.
What does a future ship look like?
Anything you want, mate.
Stop thinking negative and think you've got creative freedom.
You can go full positive.
G doesn't like sci-fi,
so I could just see he's upset
and I've got to get him out of this rut.
This is water splashing up.
When we've looked at the baseplate,
I was seeing water
and I started thinking what I've seen in the past
and I just pictured this giant oil rig.
Build a giant rig there.
Yeah.
So, the big ship, I'm thinking in that strip there,
'cause that's pretty bare.
I'm thinking in the future, the water level's risen,
so the earth's flooded and this giant oil rig
is the safe haven for everyone to live in.
Our job is we build drill rigs, so it's using that oil rig
but it's the centrepiece of the build
and then we'll build a story around that.
Right.
I'm building the four, like, pylons for the rig
but I'm not sure I'm going to pull off David's idea.
To dream up a thing that I don't know what to dream up,
I'm blank.
It's just nothing.
This guy looks like a weird cowboy.
Oh, absolutely. (LAUGHS)
Take P that's got G's hair almost.
(LAUGHS)
Henry and I, we're going to the Wild West.
There's always a bad guy in westerns
who's, like, running the town kind of thing.
So, when I think Wild West,
I'm thinking bandits, shootouts,
like, the whole shebang.
I think this is going to be a lot of fun.
I was thinking the town, you could have, like, a saloon,
you've got a bank. Yeah.
Um, I think what we're going to do
is we're going to build up some of this terrain,
have some rocky peaks.
We'll actually build in, like, a bit of a cliff
and our bad guy will be, like, riding down on a stampede of horses
trying to rob the train.
I'll do the buildings
and Cade will be doing canyon.
I've never been to the Wild West
but Henry's grown up in the wild west of Sydney.
You can call the villain Henry, how about that?
Stereotype me.
Good stuff.
I'm super excited that we got Wild West.
I'm a big Wild West fan.
I love 'True Grit'.
Oh, yeah. Classic. One of my favourite movies.
Yeah, that's awesome. '3:10 to Yuma', 'Magnificent Seven'.
Yeah. Yeah.
We've got prehistoric as our time era.
So, we obviously need a caveman habitat town somewhere.
OK.
So, this is what I'm seeing.
We use here to create a big volcano to about here.
And here...
we have one foot, two foot.
Big T Rex to here.
You know? Foot, foot, head here.
You know, tail.
Brickman is looking for technical ability
but the main thing he wants today
is for us to build in minifigure scale.
I don't know how big dinosaurs get but I imagine they were pretty big.
So, we go pretty big.
I don't think you can do prehistoric without using dinosaurs,
so the wow-factor we're going for in this build
will really be focused around a really large T Rex dinosaur
and a rising volcano.
There is a real problem with going minifigure scale in this brief.
Grab a tray.
Dinosaurs are meant to be big.
This will very soon be the T Rex head.
Um, starting to take shape, bit by bit.
There's that moment in 'Jurassic Park'
where the T Rex is chasing the four-wheel-drive
and you get that really big sense of "Roar!"
I don't know. That's probably not a great dinosaur roar.
"Roar!"
So, yeah, it needs to be big.
Definitely needs to be big.
Don't worry, Kale. I'm going Kale scale too.
Everyone should.
This could be the Kale scale build.
Interesting way of doing it.
It's going everywhere, dude.
Our minifigure is the king,
which means that we have the mediaeval land
in our train's journey
and you're currently seeing the birth of a dragon.
So, this dragon is going to be really big.
As you can tell by the actual size of its head,
it's going to be a big boy.
Miller's off having fun doing a dragon...
Rah!
..and yeah, I know a lot about castles.
I get to build a giant castle.
So, I'm hoping that all comes together
and pays off in this build
because we are so close to that grand final.
Boys.
Hey, Hamish.
Man, that is a fast dragon head.
Thank you.
You've not wasted any time getting that made.
No, time management has always been a bit of a problem for us.
We're always building up to those last couple of seconds
and we're just trying not to do that this time.
We have planned it all out.
We've got our schedule again.
Yes. We have individual schedules.
Yes. Eight hours for the castle.
Then you've got a bullet point and nothing.
Right, we're two hours into those eight hours.
Wow.
Yeah, OK.
Yeah. This is going to be interesting.
So, if we were aiming to be a quarter built, I would say...
We're a little bit off schedule.
Keep it up, fellas. Good luck. There is a lot to do.
Thanks very much, Hamish. Thank you.
Good luck.
We're running a little bit behind schedule.
So, I'm starting to feel a little bit worried.
16 hours seems long but it really isn't.
I'm going to go get some clear things.
Alrighty, guys.
You are three hours down.
(WHISTLES)
Let's keep the same hustle up all the way through.
These are going to be epic.
HENRY: Cade's really underway with his canyon...
Good.
..which will be the centrepiece of the build.
It's a massive job but if Cade pulls that off,
it could get us into the finals.
So, I'm building frantically.
This canyon is taking a long time.
I'm just digging through bricks.
I'm getting as many on as I possibly can
and I look down and I realise...
You've cut yourself.
I cut my hand.
Cade's cut himself.
(TENSE MUSIC)
What's going on? What's going on?
Medic! Medic!
Everyone back, back, back, back.
Don't film this, you pigs.
You OK?
My sweet boy.
You're going to be OK.
Shh, shh, shh.
My beautiful boy.
Oh, boy. Alright.
I'm going to put another 40 hours on the clock.
No, I'm not.
And we'll be back after this.
CADE: Today's build is the Time Train.
Each team has to build a different time period.
HENRY: And we got Wild West but we've hit a bit of a roadblock.
Cade has cut his hand open.
It's, you know, horrible.
CADE: I hope I haven't lost too much blood.
There's a lot to go in this build
but thankfully, Hamish is there to save me.
Do you want out of the competition?
No one would think any less of you.
If you backed out now, I mean,
you're one elimination from the grand final,
possibly $100,000.
I think I should be right, Hamish.
I think I can soldier on.
HAMISH: Music swell, music swell, music well.
He's going to battle on!
Cade is battling on.
Huge moment.
Huge moment on the floor.
Whoo.
Even though Cade is injured, he pushes on.
Keep going, buddy. You can do it.
It's a tough Lego life.
Having fun?
I am.
Dude, this is what I do on my day off to relax.
Today, we each get an era that we need to build
and we've got prehistoric.
This is my first time creating a T Rex.
She was easy.
I don't know, I don't know.
I have a knack, I guess. I have a knack.
How tall is it going?
No, we're going all the way, man.
I mean, light fixtures, I haven't hit those.
You're really aiming for them, aren't you?
So, the only thing more scary than a Tyrannosaurus Rex
is a Kale scale Tyrannosaurus Rex
and right now, I'm a little bit scared.
The other teams have been briefing me about Kale scale,
which is just going big.
G: I'm just scared to go out there
'cause there's a one-to-one scale T Rex in there.
I am kind of concerned that we've gone too big.
Dinosaurs are meant to be big.
I fundamentally disagree. Not that big though.
It's always go big or go home.
I've never done anything by halves and I'm not starting now.
Not here in a semifinal.
Something about...
Something like that.
Come on, Jordy.
You can run faster than that.
The dragon is coming along.
I'm going to be building it in, like, coming out of a cave.
So, today, we need to build mediaeval.
You can't have mediaeval without a dragon,
so it's the castle, attack dragon.
It's all going to be great.
I feel like we are seriously running out of time
but all we can do is build, so that's what we're doing.
We're having a little bit of trouble keeping to that schedule.
Must be the pressure.
I don't want just no mediocre castle.
I want something that really roars, "I'm the king."
On my schedule, I wrote eight hours for the castle.
That schedule is on the floor right now
because the castle's not even, like, half done
and I've been building walls for, like, a very long time
and I'm just sick of it.
It's really hard and emotionally draining
because the stress of being so close to grand final,
it really packs on a punch.
Jordy...
This is good.
I like that you're doing this instead of this.
Because you're obviously hating this...
Mmm.
..and we're here to have fun.
There's no point in building Lego if it's not to have fun.
Yeah? Yeah.
So, just keep switching up,
whenever you get bored, just keep switching up, alright?
Look at me.
You're an awesome builder.
Come on, Jordy.
Push.
It's a little bit stressful but, you know,
we have to be happy about it and, you know, move forward.
She'll be right.
That mentality usually works for us.
We can win this.
Ow.
People often go, "Oh, that's a long time building."
"Are you always there?"
Yes, I am. 100%.
You have to be. That's the job.
It's not as easy as it looks.
And if you do duck out,
there are ways around it.
Guys, can I get your attention, please?
Got a message from Hamish.
Alright, guys. Sorry I can't be there at the moment.
Just ducked out to get a coffee.
(LAUGHS)
Nine hours to go!
Nine hours!
Alright, that's seven hours down! Let's keep it up, everyone!
Good job! Whoo!
Whoo!
See you in a bit!
White with two!
We've got nine hours on the clock. Yeah.
I can get this done.
I can totally get this done.
Who am I kidding?
I am on fire today.
Kale and Bilsy, hello.
Brickman.
I'm a little scared.
Is that a giant dinosaur I see in front of me? Or...
You nailed it. It's a very friendly dinosaur.
The brief was, you know, to make this Lego minifigure scale.
Are you happy with the scale?
What's your P what's your current thinking?
No, no, look... I did want something
that definitely made a definite impact.
So, I am actually happy with the scale.
OK, alright. Um...
Bilsy? Yes?
You're happy with its size and scale?
It's definitely a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be,
for sure. Yeah.
OK. I'll just P I'll tell you what.
I'll just stick that there just for scale and comparison size.
Alright. Well, good luck. Hope you get there.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Can you go smaller or is it too much waste of time?
Ah...
I don't wanna...
Just 'cause you know we'll get bitten on the arse
for scale again, that's all.
It's P dinosaurs are meant to be big
and where is the fun if we can't go big?
You know?
Yeah, it's big.
But hopefully it makes it more impressive.
I'm going to prove them wrong.
Yeah, let's do it.
What are you doing, G? Get back to work.
Gee, do I get your seal of approval?
(GROANS)
Yeah, it's good. (LAUGHS)
It is so good. I want to take them.
The church, the town and that thing, I want to take home, mate.
Thanks, bro. That's the biggest complement.
I finished the church.
I've built a windmill, a water tower.
I'm aiming to build a saloon.
Do you like that?
It's alright, I guess.
Every western town has a saloon.
The saloon is looking pretty good.
I'm really embracing this Wild West theme.
But what period of the Wild West was that?
HENRY: Just not as much as G.
Windmills was only very later in the Wild West.
G's over, just ogling at the Wild West scene.
Do black here.
Oh, like it's broken, eh?
Burned. Yeah, burned.
G, over here.
I don't need them having three people and me having ones.
I want to take that home.
Well, if you win Lego Masters,
you can buy enough Lego to build it, G.
So, get cracking.
So, today, G picked the future.
This is the last oil rig.
It's post-apocalyptic kind of war.
The water's risen.
There's no resources left.
This is it.
We're starting to think about the story.
This floating platform can be, like, habitable,
so I'm building this shantytown on the rig.
Lots of mini stories going on in the world,
not just the big pieces in the middle.
You have to have washing.
Everyone has washing hanging out.
So, throw that in there as well.
A bit tied together with, like, 'Mad Max' meets 'Waterworld'
meets Lego meets the future.
When I saw the oil rig,
then I start seeing the start of the story
and from there on, the ideas start coming
'cause you have something now to work off.
It's a dronish-looking helicopter dragging a car out of the water.
You need to try and get all the details.
That's your speciality.
Yeah. Yes.
I love detailing up to a T.
I'll build up a couple of steps... No, no. Just leave it like that.
I could see G.
I knew he was getting excited.
This is, you know, the best part.
Yes, I'm starting to enjoy the build.
Do I see a happy G?
Happier.
G major chord?
Yeah. Now, it's good.
He's happy. So, is the vision...
It's obviously coming together.
You like the washing on the line?
I love the washing on the line.
Having been around oil rigs and understanding, like,
all the OH and S that exists in the oil drilling world...
Yeah?
..how heavily penalised would someone be
in the current situation
if they built a shantytown on an oil rig?
It's definitely something you wouldn't want to do
but we've got fire extinguishers, colour-coded,
we've got safety signs,
so the functioning area's still safe.
So, you do still have OH and S? Absolutely.
We've got the handrails, we've got the safety.
(LAUGHS) I love that it's post-apocalyptic.
Like, the ocean's risen, Earth is almost finished.
But having a highly visible handrail and a nonslip surface never hurts.
Alright, Brickman.
Well past halfway now. We are.
And this is the biggest build of Lego Masters.
Do you think we're on track to see the best thing we've seen so far?
Oh, by far. What we've got out on the floor here
is totally epic.
I think it's still anyone's game to win.
Give me your bottom two.
Jordan and Miller, there seems to be a whole issue
around time management for those guys.
You shock them when the clock comes up.
They're like, "Where did that come from?"
Oh, you know.
Just build a giant castle and a dragon
and all of this type of stuff in 16 hours.
It's stressful.
Kale and Bilsy.
I'm afraid that dinosaur...
(RATTLING BRICKS)
..it's not to scale.
Yeah, we'll get this guy into place as quick as we can
and go from there.
You could have five people sitting comfortably between the T Rex's eyes.
It's like Godzilla.
As the judge, does that scale bother Brickman?
The scale bothers Brickman a lot.
OK. We'll see how they go.
Rexy here is looking good.
I'm happy.
These will be the bottom of his feet,
so he'll be as tall as the volcano.
Yes, it's amazingly technically complicated and difficult
but anybody who can make it to the final should find this easy,
so I've got no problem with it.
The T Rex body, it's not light
but the pillars definitely look like they're strong enough
to basically get this thing up in the air.
It's time to find out.
Back up, please.
That's enough room, that's fine.
That bloody dinosaur is huge.
Bilsy and Cale have built this awesome,
like, dinosaur and it's really big.
I'm not sure it's going to hold itself up.
Rexy is a beast.
Wowie.
Slowly roll.
Bits will want to drop.
That thing's going to fall.
(TENSE MUSIC)
Bring him back.
Up, up, up.
Up, lift.
Has it fallen over?
Oh, shit.
(LOUD EXHALE)
That's a pretty big split.
I don't know if this can be salvaged.
I don't know if this can be saved.
It's delaminating something chronic.
He's not going to finish that.
KALE: Up, up.
Up, lift.
(LOUD EXHALE)
His head's heavy. That's a pretty big split.
Has it fallen over?
Oh, boy.
G: I think it's going to fall.
Bow.
BILSY: The T Rex is kind of broken.
Kale's trying to repair it.
White plates. Lots and lots of white plates.
These but longer in white with five holes.
So, I was kind of like on brick-pick-run duty.
If this dinosaur doesn't stand up,
it's going to be a big hit on our whole design.
We need this to work no matter what.
Kale and Bilsy, hello.
Hey. How you doing?
How're we travelling?
Oh, a minor disaster.
Minor disaster? Is there such a thing?
(LAUGHS) Um, yeah, well...
Right. I tell you what I'm going to do.
You guys can ask me a question.
OK. Alright?
Of which I will give a direct, honest answer.
Yeah, my question's obvious though. What is it?
From this point, is it solvable?
It is solvable.
From my perspective, this is not solvable. No.
Good luck, guys. Thanks.
Brickman thinks this can't be done.
But I can do a whole bunch of stuff to solve it.
Brickman's given a lot of advice over the course of the competition.
He's the smartest man in the room.
But I'm not giving up.
I want him to stand up.
We say we're going to do it, we're going to do it.
The semifinals was never the time to play it safe.
I can maybe still save that.
And I can make it work possibly.
It's just kind of his baby, you know.
He needs to repair it, he needs to fix it,
so I was adding small dinosaur stories, small minifigure stories.
We don't need to win.
We just need to not come last.
Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe.
Clock's ticking, clock's ticking.
Alrighty, guys!
It is two hours to go before we find out who is making the granny.
It's looking good, eh?
Two hours, G.
JORDAN: Dude, there's no way they'll get it done.
They are going to be pushed to get...
anything done.
MILLER: Today's build is a Time Train.
These different base plates are actually, like,
different periods of time.
We're building a medieval scene.
I feel bad for Kale and Bilsy but I'm so worried about our build.
We've got so much to do.
Like, Jordy's still working on the castle
and I'm still building my dragon.
Ah, that's annoying.
It's practically do-or-die at this point.
Like, we don't want to go home
and, like, this is the make-it-or-break-it moment,
so we're really just trying to work hard.
CADE: Henry and I, we're going to the Wild West.
So, this is the Sheriff's office I'm working on at the moment.
The bad guys have escaped
and it's going to be, like, a blown-up sheriff's office.
So, it'll be just another story element that we're adding.
That looks good, dude.
Yeah? Yeah.
Looks really good but we're going to have to move on from it soon.
I've finished the canyon.
This thing is crazy. It's taken the entire build to get finished.
And now I can help Henry out on the rest of the town.
Boys.
Hey, Hamish. How are you?
Do you know, just walking over, I was, like,
"I didn't know we had a piece in the brick pit"
"that's, like, a perfect covering of a wagon." But...
Henry's handiwork.
..I've since learned to realise with you guys,
you are very good at Lego.
Man, it looks amazing.
Thanks, Hamish.
Even, like, the shape of the roofs and stuff,
you're like, "Yes. That is P that looks like it's from the Wild West."
This would be a terrible time for me to go,
"Oh, no. Sorry, guys. When you got the sand..."
"It's Egypt." "Egyptian."
"You've gone completely the wrong thing."
It's great. Can't wait to see when it's done.
Thank you, Hamish. Thank you.
We've got a really good streetscape.
Cade's just adding the final touches
and I'm going to build one last building.
I'm going to build, like, a station.
I know we're a bit rushed to get it done
and it's probably a bit ambitious at this point.
We've got to move on this station, alright?
Yeah, go.
But only three of us are going to go into the grand final,
so we're going to put everything we can into this build.
It's just gonna be right at the last minute.
Like, I'll be putting the roof on with one second to go, I reckon.
Alright, guys, you all knew this was coming.
You've been building for 15 hours.
We've got one hour, one hour to go.
Make or break time, everybody, make or break, let's do it.
Don't break. Don't break.
I broke. You broke.
What did I just say? What did I just say?
You said "don't break".
And what did you do? I broke.
I think, like, this is as good as this is gonna get.
I need help in here.
I've finally finished my giant castle.
We've spent way too much time on this castle,
it's too big, so we've just got too much gaps.
I'm doing a jousting scene at the moment,
so I'm just smashing out some mini figs for that.
We need something to take up some space here.
I'm gonna build army. Cool.
We don't have the time to do it, but we just have to,
so we're just gonna go, "Huck it, huck it, huck it."
Boys, boys, boys. Hello, Hamish.
You know how we joked 15 hours ago about,
"Oh, you know, at the end of the build,
"it always gets a bit intense, and we're gonna avoid that this time"?
Has it accidentally got intense again?
Definitely.
We're not letting the panic get to us.
I'm working on just getting some trees and stuff in here,
and getting the army in place.
Good luck. Thanks, Hame.
(SIGHS)
Yeah, there's a lot of things going through my head right now.
Time for plan B.
As much as I'd love for it to be hanging there, I'm gonna have to
make some significant compromises 'cause we just don't have time.
Plan B is he lies down.
Very disappointed, very, very disappointed, indeed.
Yeah.
We ran out of time.
If it'd worked, this would've been
head and shoulders above everybody else.
Plan B, we're just gonna lay him down, we're gonna hide him
up the back, and then we're gonna focus on the details up front.
He's not gonna finish that, not even close.
Nup.
The thing is, he's an awesome brick builder,
but he's gotta pick and choose his battles to do it.
Yep.
I'm bummed, man.
Kale's scale just didn't work this time round, but we need to finish.
It is a semifinal.
We're in trouble.
Alrighty, guys, let's be honest,
this is obviously the most important build so far.
You have got ten minutes.
Ten minutes to go.
What do you need? I need these in brown.
The bulk is basically done.
It's just now to round it off
and get the story 100% with the mini figs.
Alright, G, we need to get this blimp on.
The blimp is just...it's looking good, but it's heavy.
It's very precarious to balance something like that.
If this thing comes toppling down, it could
destroy the whole scene that we've already finished building, so...
There we go.
Just have a look. Yeah.
Oh, look at that.
And I'm looking at it, going, that is pretty cool.
So pleased that we could pull something out of the hat.
We've done a lot of work,
but we can always do more, and we can always push harder.
I'll be right back. Go, man, go. Run.
Alright, guys, this is the build
that will get you in the grand final.
You've got one minute to go.
Last minute. Only got one run in you left.
Or seven if you're Jordan.
How you going for cleanliness?
I've pretty much cleaned everything up.
Cool.
Here we go, ten seconds to go.
Ah, fudge. Eight.
Seven. Six.
Five. Four.
Three, two, one, that is it.
That was awesome.
Guys, unreal.
Well done.
Great job. Great job.
Boom. Drop the mic.
Far out, that was good.
That was a hard build.
We've got the canyon, we've just got the sweep.
We've got our story's in place.
I'm so happy.
We really, really hope we've done enough to get Brickman's vote.
I'm disappointed.
That was far too many hours on the volcano for not enough payoff.
I'm pretty happy. I'm pretty happy.
Let me...let me bring this to you with a metaphor.
So, we have the dragon.
This dragon doesn't need much,
whereas this king over here really needs to go big,
you know, needs to build epic,
and to make you wonder what the king is trying to make up for.
That was good, that one.
It looks wicked. Oh, fu...
We left loose bricks down the bottom of the castle, and it just sucks.
I'm actually devo about that. Yeah, same.
I really went ham,
tried to make sure I got everything off, but we ran out of time.
At this stage in the competition, loose bricks could send us home.
Alrighty, guys, 16 hours to build your slice of history, your era.
This is an elimination.
Which three teams
are making it through to the grand final of LEGO Masters?
Which team, sadly, will be leaving us today?
All our eras are connected by time-travelling tunnels.
Brickman, you have got the remote to start the time-travelling train.
Activate it.
(EPIC MUSIC)
Alrighty, guys,
it is time to find out exactly what you have put in here.
David and G, would you like to take us to the future first?
Come on up, boys.
(APPLAUSE)
David and G, you guys drew the future.
You were so excited to get it.
Let's take the train through the future, Brickman.
(EPIC MUSIC)
We went with this giant oil rig idea because we're thinking,
well, it's the end of the world, and the earth's flooded.
It's this floating platform,
just a safe haven for everyone to live in.
So, we're going that, like, post-apocalyptic, oil's running out.
It's like, people are gonna fight over resources.
The boss has been travelling around,
looking for bits and pieces to sell, which...
Everything is flooded.
You can see little boats popping out.
It's a good story,
it's just whether Brickman's gonna think that is a good story, as well.
Guys, you have given us
a very creative and slightly depressing view of the future here.
It's almost like a Where's Wally,
in terms of, like, the level of detail you've gone to.
Like, him salvaging floating planks of wood.
Floating oil barrels, some of which are rusted, some of which aren't.
These guys up here kind of, like, demolishing a building for scrap.
I do like the fact that we've caught a shark here, but missed a shark
in the water, who's heading for the guy that's in the rubber ducky.
It's one-all.
Brickman, what are your thoughts?
You almost had a bit of a false start, didn't you?
The first, sort of, couple of hours,
pardon the pun here, but you were totally at sea, weren't you?
Yes.
You were out of your comfort zone, and I think
the biggest pivotal point that you guys made was to turn it into water.
I think that was your total saviour.
If it had've gone on for maybe another half an hour or an hour,
you literally would've been sunk, it would've been game over.
Second thing I like from a technical perspective is the blimp, and that's
the kind of thing that really sets the tone for this dystopian future.
Yeah.
And to see it off-stud, on a bit of an angle, thank goodness for that.
Really happy to see that you're actually pushing yourself,
and not working on 90-degree angles.
I think that's really important,
particularly because we're getting near the final.
Great job. Great job.
The stakes are pretty high. You've put everything on the line.
You've put your life on hold,
and you really want to get through to that last build.
Well done, awesome.
Jordan and Miller.
Our time management has gone out the window again.
There's loose bricks in there
that we didn't notice when we were cleaning up.
If we fall before the final hurdle, we're not gonna make it
to that grand final, so I really hope he doesn't notice.
Alrighty, Jordan and Miller, you guys had mediaeval.
We will now take the train there.
(EPIC MUSIC)
It's the battle of the kings,
and all the knights and everything go out to fight the dragon.
The dragon is coming towards the castle.
It's taken, like, all the gold
'cause that's what dragons do, they collect gold and they hoard things.
Gonna have the king and his queen sitting up on their little platform
'cause they're higher and mightier than everybody else.
(CROWD JEERING)
You're gonna have more than just an army fighting a dragon this size.
You've really gotta fight it with everything you've got.
There are catapults and balusters.
Brickman, what are your LEGO thoughts?
Alright, first things first, one of our objectives was one clear story.
It's really obvious what's happening.
You've totally ticked that box.
We know the castle folks are fighting against the dragon.
So, I think the one clear story is really obvious,
so I'm really glad to see that.
The decision to go with happy faces on your figures
is a little bit perplexing.
It is.
Technical-wise, I'm gonna give you a tick for the dragon.
I think the dragon's really cool.
But my big downside to this build
is you guys, again, clearly ran out of time.
There are big, empty chunks.
It's really tough to build to a time limit, and it snuck up and got you.
If you had to give them a letter grade
out of, like, A to F for time management, what would you go for?
Probably a D-. Oh...
Well done. Love it, well done.
D. Minus.
That was just for time management, though.
Yeah.
Ooh, can I call them back?
Ooh, guys, Brickman wants to call you back for one thing.
Sorry, sorry, Nige.
I've just seen something. Uh-oh.
I'm gonna change the D- in time management down to an E.
(PENSIVE MUSIC)
Oh, can I call them back?
Ooh, guys, Brickman wants to call you back for one thing.
Sorry, sorry, Nige.
I've just seen something. Uh-oh.
I'm gonna change the D- in time management down to an E,
because I've found loose bricks that
you hadn't cleaned up afterwards just sitting around on your model.
To get into the final of LEGO Masters,
obvious little things
like presentation and loose pieces isn't cool.
Brickman's kind of pointed out all the loose bricks.
This is a big mistake.
We could go home for this.
E for every brick counts.
Thank you.
Nice, guys, well done. Thank you.
Alrighty, Henry and Cade.
Henry and I are really happy with this build,
but you just do not know how things will go.
We want to get through to that grand finale,
and, until Brickman gives us a tick of approval,
it could be anyone's game.
Guys, you drew the Wild West.
Let's take the train back into the late 1880s.
(EPIC MUSIC)
You know, the Grand Canyon took millions of years to be built.
We've got the vertical rock faces.
We've got the sweeping-up hill.
And we've got our quintessential cowboy up on the top of the canyon,
and he's fully pulling back his horse
and, you know, ready to save the day.
We've got horses coming down the mountain.
(TRAMPLING HOOVES)
We've got mini figs looking out over the town, waiting
for the train to come through, so they can signal to blow up tracks.
We've got a guy ready to push the plunger to set it all off.
It's all there, all the details, I'm so happy.
(PISTOL FIRES)
Guys, it's pretty awesome.
Do you feel like it's pretty awesome?
We're really happy with this build. We're really happy.
Great, just checking for false modesty.
Good to see there is none.
Brickman, from a LEGO perspective?
First off, let's start about the detail.
There's actually lots and lots of detail here.
Particularly in the village, if we look in the town,
things like your signage, using SNOT letters here on your saloon.
That's a great way to use LEGO pieces.
How does that work? Like, why is that hard?
You're taking normal LEGO bricks, turning them sideways,
and arranging using plates to form the letter shapes.
And that's how you can get thin writing?
Correct.
It's a great way to get fine detail.
Yeah, I know how to do it. I was just...for people at home.
I will add one thing, Cade.
You've essentially built the Grand Canyon.
It's a bit of a masterpiece, this canyon.
Trust me, I'm not arguing how beautiful Blood Gulch looks.
You bled for this.
It actually drew your own blood, but it paid off.
I think the story is absolutely crystal-clear,
right down to the baddie with his plunger ready
to blow this train and steal all the gold and the mail and whatever else.
I think it's absolutely epic.
Probably the best Wild West build I've seen in a very long time.
Well done, guys. Awesome, guys.
Thank you so much.
Well done, man.
Thank you so much.
So good. So good.
Good job, guys.
Good job, man. Thank you.
Alright, Bilsy and Kale.
Alright, take us to your land before time.
I am nervous.
Have we gone too big for mini fig?
Careful, he bites.
I heard Brickman say mini-figure scale - this is important.
But do we think this T-Rex is mini-figure scale?
Yeah. Sure.
You know, we could be in a lot of hot water.
Alright, Bilsy and Kale. You had our prehistoric landscape.
(EPIC MUSIC)
So, the story all comes back to the idea of a cavegirl and her pet.
(DINOSAUR ROARS)
It's a T-Rex.
Rex is a very common dog name.
It just makes sense.
There's the volcano.
Then bringing in mini figures and supporting elements,
and a few other little details.
Beautiful.
This train driver must be like,
"Man, every time period I go to, a lot's goin' on."
Obviously, the dinosaur is our focal point.
I heard Brickman say, "Mini-figure scale - this is important."
But do we think this T-Rex is mini-figure scale?
Yeah. Sure.
T-Rexes were big, they have to be big,
and I did want that sense that it could swallow our train.
Yep.
I've never seen a dinosaur.
I'm just assuming they're bigger than me.
Brickman, you are the judge. What is your call?
A couple of things that I do like, detail-wise, loving the fire.
I think that's really quite cool, and the giant steak.
I kinda dig it.
And also the skeleton that's inside the volcano rock,
the dinosaur that was trapped in there.
The lava formed around it.
I think that's really quite cool. It's the planet's newest fossil.
Of course, even your giant volcano,
I'm OK with that, 'cause volcanoes can be absolutely massive.
You can go any size with that.
I think these little baby dinosaurs and Triceratops over here,
they're the right scale.
But what that also does do,
it makes this guy look absolutely ridiculous in scale.
It's not to mini-figure scale.
And it's actually a little bit unfair on the other teams,
who have all kept to that scale, and it's when you put the whole
thing together, like this, it really sticks out as not quite being right.
When you were going for that ginormous body on here,
there was all sorts of crazy, cool techniques.
Unfortunately, they ended up on the floor.
So, it makes it really tough to tick the technical box, as well.
Of course, the other part of our brief
was the only thing that could travel through time was our time machine.
I'm seeing lots of stuff on here
that doesn't belong in the time period.
Pizzas, milk bottles, guitar.
Guitar might have snuck in.
Yeah, that's a key part of our build, and one of the reasons why
I'm gonna be looking at you for potential elimination today.
We may have missed the scale a little bit.
I think your Rex's head was as big as your head.
Gah, I hope this doesn't cost us.
Alrighty, guys.
This is bittersweet.
We've got four teams in here.
Only three go through to the grand final.
One team, unfortunately, will leave us today.
Feelin'...?
Brickman, let's start from the top.
Who is guaranteed safe, the first person into the grand final?
So, the first team through to the grand final
showed an amazing technical skill,
absolutely astounding aesthetics and one very clear story.
So, the first team through to the grand final...
..is Henry and Cade.
Nice. Hey, man?
Well done, fellas.
You guys did a beautiful job today.
As a young boy, did you dream of making the LEGO Masters grand final?
In some respects, yeah.
Playing with LEGO heaps as a kid,
like, that's what you want to do when you grow up.
The dream continues for you boys.
You can jump over here. You guys are safe.
Well done. Thank you.
Well done, boys.
Boys.
Alrighty, Brickman, second team going through to the grand final.
So, the second team through to our grand final...
..is David and G.
Good stuff, boys.
DAVID: At the start of this build, I thought we were probably going
on a plane home, but I'm so happy to be through to the grand final.
G, is this what you dreamed about as a little boy?
No, not really, but...
It's so good.
It's awesome? Yeah, it's awesome, yeah.
Alrighty, two teams left.
One team will be joining the rest of the guys in the grand final,
and, unfortunately, one team will be leaving us here.
Brickman, over to you.
Jordan and Miller, you really did spend quite a bit of time
on that castle and dragon, and some other things suffered because of it.
I even found loose bricks at the end.
Kale and Bilsy.
You tried to go too big,
and, of course, that really hit you, time-wise.
So, today, one team showed a clear story,
and excellent technical ability, so, going through to the final...
(HEART PUMPING)
..Jordan and Miller, congratulations.
(TRIUMPHANT THEME MUSIC)
Well done, boys.
Kale and Bilsy, incredible effort to get this far through the season.
Have you had a great time? Kale, have you enjoyed yourself?
I feel like you have.
Oh, so much fun, man, so much fun.
Even from the first build,
you were trying to, like, hit the roof with your builds.
Bilsy, very entertaining to watch.
You guys built amazing stuff throughout the series,
so, thank you for being part of LEGO Masters.
Great job, well done.
Great job, Bils. Well done, mate. Thank you, mate.
Great to meet you, man.
The scale got us in the end, but look at the flipside.
We were in the top four of the best LEGO builders in Australia.
Mate, well done. Thank you.
Well done, well done. Of course, I'm disappointed.
But it's been a whole lot of fun.
Get creative, get creative.
Getting selected for this competition
was, like, one of the best things ever.
Like, I'm walking out head held high, you know.
The fact that you've gone height, I love.
Yep. Bam.
I create art.
Pink, grey and white. We are vomiting colour.
I'm prepared to go through my standing on it.
It's gonna support my weight.
Oh!
Let's raise the bar and do something nobody else can do.
Mm, probably a reason no-one else is doing it.
Whoa.
It's been awesome, actually,
just finding what I can do, and turns out it's quite a lot.
Well done, guys. Thank you.
Clap 'em out. Cheers, brother.
(APPLAUSE)
Alright.
I mean, I can feel it. Can you guys feel it?
You're in the final, you are in the grand final, well done.
We've made it through, we're gonna go through to the grand final.
Dab.
Sorta like...
We started with eight teams. We are down to the final three.
You guys are going through to the LEGO Masters grand final.
You've got a one-in-three chance
of being crowned LEGO Masters, getting the 100 grand.
It is the biggest build of the series.
I personally can't wait to see what you guys can produce,
but, for now, congratulations, well done.
Yeah!
High five! Boom!
Come on, guys.
The stakes are pretty high.
You're not aiming for a bronze medal.
You want the gold medal. We can win this.
Yes, Dave. Well done.
Through to the final, huh? Oh...
What are we gonna do?
We're gonna win.
Next time...
..the LEGO Masters grand finale.
Three teams remain.
They face their final and most epic build...
Dude! Oh, wow!
..and it pushes our contestants like never before.
OK...
This is the hardest build we have done.
Yeah, we gotta get cracking.
At this point, I just...I just want to scream.
It's a nightmare.
We are running out of time.
(PIECES BREAK APART)
I didn't touch it. Oh!
What I want to see is for them to go bigger, go crazier.
I want to be going, you know what, you've just totally blown me away.
The moment is finally here.
It is time to find out
who will be crowned Australia's first ever LEGO Masters.
The winner is...
(LEGO CLATTERS)
