LEGO Ideas design may face competition from upcoming Fortnite set

An upcoming LEGO Fortnite set could throw a spanner in the works for one potential future LEGO Ideas model currently in the first review of 2025.

A second wave of LEGO Fortnite sets was officially revealed this week, with four new models being released in the summer. The quartet of video game builds includes 77075 Peely & Sparkplug’s Camp, 77076 Durrr Burger Restaurant and 77077 Klombo arriving on June 1, with 77078 Mecha Team Leader launching on August 1.

Of those upcoming models, 77078 Mecha Team Leader represents the biggest (and most expensive) addition to the theme to date, one that appears to successfully recreate the massive character from Season 9’s The Final Showdown event in plenty of detail.

However, the classic Japanese mech look of the LEGO Fortnite model may prove to be something a hurdle for one fan-designed LEGO Ideas submission currently sitting in the first review of 2025.

Go Go Power Rangers! LEGO Megazord hit the 10K supporters mark earlier this year, with the 35cm tall creation spinning out of the smash hit Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers TV show from the ’90s.

While that’s shorter than the 45cm high 77078 Mecha Team Leader, the fact that the two designs are visually very similar to each other might cause some issues when it comes to the LEGO Ideas submission being considered as a potential future physical set.

Both models feature themed limbs and a giant sword accessory, although Go Go Power Rangers! LEGO Megazord is able to split into its separate Zord elements, each of which can then be transformed into their Mastodon, Pterodactyl, Triceratops, Sabertooth Tiger and Tyrannosaurus modes.

It's worth noting that 77078 Mecha Team Leader should still be able to comfortably go head-to-head with a number of LEGO NINJAGO models when it's released, but the set's many nods to the Megazord could potentially see the LEGO Ideas submission taken out of the running altogether.

Of course, we’ll have to wait and see if Go Go Power Rangers! LEGO Megazord manages to make it through the first LEGO Ideas review of 2025 later this year to see if 77078 Mecha Team Leader will truly present fans of both franchises with a purchasing challenge.
