LEGO Masters

Our entire Lego life has been building up to this.

Lego reconnected me with who I am.

When I'm putting bricks together,

the whole world disappears.

In today's world, where everything is digitised,

it's nice to be able to create a practical artform.

I'm so nervous about having to build for Brickman.

This is like the ultimate challenge.

Just being on 'Lego Masters'

is like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you can click two bricks together,

you can build anything.

For me, Lego is my mantra.

It's on. Game on.

I love unicorns and rainbows. Anything that goes "ah!"

Whoa.

And so begins a new chapter

in the greatest Lego saga of all time.

I feel you're on the cusp of something amazing.

Eight remarkable Lego duos

all vying for the ultimate title.

This is gonna be our season.

We're here to build some incredible Lego.

Season three - it's a definitely a level above a level above a level.

We are not your traditional Lego builders.

Whoa, dude.

Together, we'll witness pure Lego wizardry.

I don't think I've ever made anything this complex out of Lego.

The benchmark is now there.

But winning won't be easy,

because this year, we've taken everything to the next level.

Oh no! I mean yay!

It needs to be epic.

No!

No pressure!

What am I going to do?

Get ready for a mind-blowing symphony of Lego magic...

..where the unexpected is always near...

Ta-da! Whoa!

Hi, guys.

..and no-one's ever really gone.

No, no!

Oh, my god, I know that jacket!

It's time to get serious.

Lego friends! Best friends!

It's time to get serious. Brick, brick, brick, brick!

Time to get... Time to get... Time to get serious.

He's so cute!

If it's fun, it's fun. Look at this!

The atmosphere is absolutely electric.

Get serious.

Jordy, you missed a bit.

When do we change gear? Now.

Welcome to a world where even the wildest dreams

can become a show-stopping plastic-brick reality.

The pressure is on now.

Oh!

Another crisp high-five.

Whoa! Yeah!

Yes!

It's art. You made art out of Lego bricks.

That is awesome.

Well done.

This is 'Lego Masters'.

Marking.

Good luck, mate.

Alright.

Right, ready to go?

Oh, my god.

Here we go. Here we go. Oh, yeah.

Whoa, whoa.

Go, go! Go, go!

Guys, come on in. Wow!

Welcome. Oh.

Yes!

We are here. Ahoy!

Hey!

Oh, my god!

Whoa!

Guys, officially, welcome to 'Lego Masters' season three!

Give yourselves a round of applause.

And you're here.

How is everyone feeling?

Whoa! Awesome.

Oh, my gosh. Excited, nervous.

Alright, well, I mean, this... This is season three.

Last season,

we took things up a notch. This season,

we are taking things up...

..to a whole new level.

Ooh.

Yeah. And on that level...

..you should expect the unexpected.

Alright,

we have got 16 of the most passionate Lego builders

in Australia in this room.

We have got one passable television host.

We have also got the only...

..Lego-certified professional in the Southern Hemisphere, Brickman!

All of our fabulous people that are watching this show

are wondering, "What are they gonna make?

"What's their passion? What are they capable of?"

And it's your love of the brick and love of Lego

that we're gonna enjoy.

We can't wait to see what you come up with.

Alright, Jess and Anthony,

how are you guys feeling? This is unreal.

This is like... This has been a three-year journey for me.

Like, my mum told me,

"Oh, you know they're making a show called 'Lego Masters'"

And then we saw, you know, the ads on TV, and we saw the,

"Doosh, doosh, doosh." I was just like,

"This is, like, the next big show.

"This is what I wanna be on. This is, like, my dream."

Going with the promo.

Sarah and Fleur.

Hi. Hi.

Welcome, guys. I'm really excited to meet you.

Both of you. But... I mean...

Probably more Brickman. I mean, I...

I'm a mum, and this is right up there with giving birth today.

Yeah, it's awesome building Lego with my son. It bonds us.

He's four, and he loves it.

But for me, to be able to just come here and play

but not play with trains is really exciting!

Alright, in about 14 builds' time,

one team in here

will win 100 grand.

You'll also be crowned Lego Masters Australia

and walk away with probably the most important thing,

the snazzy yellow trophy.

Nothing can take away the glory of holding aloft a yellow Lego trophy.

I'm gonna gaffer tape the trophy to the top of my car,

and I'm gonna drop my son off at school. It's gonna be...

I'm gonna put lights in it.

They're gonna see. They're gonna say, "That's the cool... cool mum."

But today, at the start of the season,

you are playing for something sacred

and very important.

Here it comes.

Psych.

It's actually coming out of the wall.

Expect the unexpected!

I've got you already!

I've got you already!

Whoa!

Very unexpected

and next level.

Guys, come on over.

You can come over.

That brick is going, "Vroom, vroom."

I'm like, "Whoa, dude! What's goin' on there?"

Were you guys expecting the Golden Brick?

Probably, yeah? Yeah.

Eh! Expect the unexpected. What have I told you?

Ladies and gentlemen...

Ooh.

..please behold...

Oh, my god.

Ooh, ooh.

..the Platinum Brick.

It's so cool. It's so cool.

This is the Platinum Brick. Like the Golden Brick,

it will give you immunity in an elimination.

However, last year you had to play the Golden Brick before a build.

This year, you will build,

see everyone else's builds,

hear Brickman's critique...

..then you get to decide if you will play the Platinum Brick.

Oh, my god. It is an insane amount of power

that will see you going far in this competition.

I want that brick.

I want that brick.

Ryan, I want that brick.
