A bouquet of Lego flowers means never having to say sorry

I already knew Lego’s new Animal Crossing: New Horizons sets were going to be cute — I mean, look at them — and yet I was still impressed with all the tiny little details there are to appreciate for die-hard Animal Crossing fans like me. Yes, Lego’s included all the things you might expect, like fruit trees, Bell bags, and flying presents, but there’s also a bevy of smaller things that surprised and delighted me when I put together the sets with my family.

Legos continue to be a healthy way for kids (and adults) to explore building, spatial creativity, and their favorite franchises. The beloved world of Star Wars has great Lego deals going on right now, with everything from the classic characters to TIE fighters being represented.

We’ll be looking at things from a variety of price ranges, too, so you can use that last $10 of birthday money or find an elaborate gift for a loved one.

Fortnite got its very own LEGO mode in December 2023 in the form of an open-world crafting survival game. It attracted an abundance of players and Epic Games are trying to keep fans coming back for more with the launch of a new game-type known as LEGO Islands.

Epic Games and The Lego Group have launched a brand-new set of experiences in Lego Fortnite, under a new collection dubbed Lego Islands.

The combined Lego and Fortnite universe is getting bigger — three times bigger, as of today. Lego Group and Epic Games announced two new Lego games, known as islands, will be coming to Fortnite. The first is a multiplayer problem-solving game with a pirate theme called Lego Raft Survival, and the second is a 3D platformer called Lego Obby Fun. Both games will be available to visit inside the Fortnite client starting Tuesday.

Fortnite's partnership with Lego continues today with the launch of two family-friendly mini-games: Lego Raft Survival and Lego Obby Fun.

With a new Fortnite season on the horizon, you need to rack up all the XP you can get in order to complete the Chapter 5 Season 1 battle pass. Reaching level 100 will see you make it to the end of the base battle pass, but don’t forget that there are pages of bonus rewards to work through. Unlike regular battle royale modes, LEGO Fortnite doesn’t feature daily or weekly quests, so does this experience give you any XP while you play?

Epic Games is reportedly working on a massive update that is going to redefine the gameplay experience of Fortnite's popular LEGO mode. While a pretty barebones way of creating worlds does exist inLEGO Fortnite, that portion of the mode seems to be getting an overhaul.

The latest LEGO Fortnite patch has added two types of Compass for you to craft. Whether you’ve lost your way in the middle of no man’s land or you just want to see what else lies in the nearby area, a Compass is a useful tool when navigating your world.

A considerably popular custom LEGO set created by a member of the Subnautica fanbase has recently achieved a milestone of 10,000 supporters on the LEGO IDEAS website, and is now under active review to potentially become an official LEGO set at some point in the future. The build features the iconic Aurora capital ship from the original Subnautica as well as a minifigure version of the game's protagonist, Ryley Robinson.

The fishing update to Lego Fortnite added, you guessed it, the ability to fish once you’ve made yourself a rod. Of course, since fish didn’t exist in the game before this, an entire school of undersea life needed to be created. Every fish you can catch has a different benefit, from restoring a bunch of health when you eat it to giving you some kind of buff. The rarest and most useful fish is certainly the Vendetta Flopper, making it the most coveted catch in the game. While fishing is still heavily dependent on luck, you won’t even have a chance at this fish unless you know where to cast your line.

Technically, all you need to get started fishing in Lego Fortnite is a fishing rod and a body of water. As any great fisherman will tell you, though, the key to catching the rarest fish lies in your bait. The same applies here, but how you go about collecting said bait is a little obscure. The Bait Bucket is essential if you want to taste all the best fish in the game, so here's how to make this big bucket of chum.
