HAMISH BLAKE: Once every 2,023 years
legend calls for a tournament to be held
here in the sacred Lego temple.
The best of the best.
A high-stakes showdown between the winners, the technicians,
the masters, artists,
the legends, the builders,
and the young guns...
We mean business.
We've got scores to settle.
Back, baby. Back, baby.
..to decide which team
can rightfully claim the title of Lego Grandmasters.
Alright. Let's go. Let's go.
Like a true epic, this will be a tale filled with...
explosions,
astronauts,
centurions,
mysteries,
Mickey Mouse,
machines,
waterfalls...
Oh, come on!
There are some things you cannot un-see.
(LAUGHTER)
Rockets,
secrets, twists,
dancing,
doctors,
Sophie Monks,
burglars,
and butterflies.
There's one more thing.
Sorry, I can't quite put my finger on what we're missing.
Lego bricks.
And Lego bricks. That was it.
But you've never seen Lego built like this before.
We're talking:
G-L-B-O-A-T.
Greatest Lego Builds Of All Time.
These are like, the best Lego builds I've ever seen on Lego Masters ever.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Holy cow!
In a battle of the best of the best,
who will be left wearing the crown?
Let the tournament begin.
It's another level.
One of the greatest Lego Masters we've ever had.
This is it Lego Grandmasters!
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
(LITTLE DONG AND CRASH)
(LAUGHTER)
We're in for a treat.
Five years, mate. Five years.
Well, we did always say, if we make it to grandmasters...
Yeah?
..we get an AFL style run through banner.
Ooh, exciting.
(SIREN)
(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)
(BRICKMAN LAUGHS)
The is deluxe television.
Come on in. Yes!
Whoa!
(MOMENTOUS MUSIC CONTINUES)
It's good to be back. We're back.
MAN: It is good to be home.
The level of competition is insane. This is gonna be really tough.
Lego Masters... BOTH: Grandmasters.
HAMISH: Unreal. Guys, I've been waiting a long time to say this,
welcome to Lego Masters Grandmasters!
(CHEERING)
Here at Lego Masters we have a tradition.
Every five years we take the best of the best
and we do Lego Grandmasters.
And then every forty years we take the winner of all the Grandmasters
and we do Great Grandmasters.
(LAUGHTER)
Today though is the beginning of Grandmasters.
Now, what does it take to be a Grandmaster?
Well, who we've got in front of us, the 16 of you in here.
We have got past winners,
grand finalists,
winners of Bricksmas?
And wildcard or cards.
Some hair has lengthened, some... Oh!
Geez, we've lost...
You are all elite Lego builders.
This is the cream of the crop.
I'm nervous.
How do I separate each of you?
You are all incredible Lego builders.
It's gonna be ace.
Scotty and Owen.
How are you going? G'day.
(LAUGHTER)
So great to have you fellas back.
Thanks, man. Good to be back.
This close. Yeah.
This close.
In your season, you know, you did an amazing job in the finale
but it just wasn't there on the day.
How is that going for you coming back in, mentally?
We're here for redemption against our dear friends.
(LAUGHTER)
Gabby and Ryan, welcome back.
BOTH: Thank you.
Gab, rewinding back to that series,
you know, you get to the final, somebody else wins.
Is there a part of you going, oh, if I had another go
I would do something differently?
Yes, there's obviously things that
you wish you would have done differently.
I think we were just starting to peak when we made it to the finals
so I'm really excited to see how much further we can go.
Trent and Kale,
one of our teams that you had other building partners
and you guys have joined up for Grandmasters.
Trent, how are you feeling?
Oh, it's wonderful to be with Kale on this
'cause he's an incredible builder.
And I can just say, strap in.
Strap in for the ride.
Strap in.
I mean, yeah, to get a braces pull early on
is a statement of confidence.
There are eight teams
but there can only be one grand winning team in this grand series.
You will win the title of Lego Grandmasters Australia.
One hundred grand dollars. (LAUGHTER)
A hundred thousand dollars.
So much to play for.
Before we begin, this is usually the bit, you would know,
where we talk about the immunity brick,
the brick with special powers.
Now, just due to a few scheduling things
and obviously like, this season kinda crept up on me,
the brick itself is not finished.
It's so special, it's still being made.
Would you like a sneak peek? ALL: Yes!
MAN: Let's do it.
(EXPECTANT MUSIC)
Behind this door, in this sacred forge...
Ooh! (INDUSTRIOUS MUSIC)
Wow, look at that.
..is one of the greatest bricksmiths in the world, forging the brick.
(CLANG)
(AIR HISSES)
Oh, hey, Hames. Johnny!
It's Johnny!
Mate, looking great.
Just out of interest, how long do you reckon on the brick?
Oh, it's gonna be a while. Yeah? You gonna be a little bit?
Yes, it's hard work in here.
Keep at it. Can't wait to see it.
Alright, it's gonna be ready soon.
Good on you, Johnny.
I'll explain the brick to you guys later on.
Don't worry about that for now.
What I'm sure you're worried about is when to get your hands busy.
Do you want to see what the first challenge is?
ALL: Yes! Let's get this show on the road.
Come with us.
(EXCITED EXCLAMATIONS)
(WIND HOWLS)
(MAJESTIC MUSIC)
As you can tell, we're in the clouds.
This is the city in the sky.
Oh, my day!
Man!
Oh.
My goodness. It's amazing.
That is sick.
Look at that building. It's awesome.
(GRAND MUSIC)
That's good real estate. Sick.
Have a little look.
That is amazing.
It doesn't sit level.
It does not. There's one fixing point.
(LAUGHS) You OK there, Andrew?
It's like a disc.
Alrighty.
This build is called City in the Sky.
Your challenge is simply to build
your world floating around a central one.
What that is, who lives there,
what it's all about, that's up to you, that's the story.
Brickman, not as easy as it seems.
No. We're balancing on a single cable.
The balance point of these models is super fine.
It's all about creating your world,
telling the incredible story of whoever that civilisation is,
but of course it must be perfectly balanced when the time's up.
So, a much trickier technical aspect to this build
than perhaps people have seen in first episodes before
but it's Grandmasters.
You have to have a level of grandness to each build.
Usually you build like this, we do 16 hours.
(LAUGHTER)
But you're Grandmasters so we expect a slightly quicker work rate.
And I have a golf lesson so... (LAUGHTER)
Fourteen hours.
Hey!
Fourteen hours to create your world.
Are you ready to begin... ALL: Yes.
..the first step of your Grandmasters journey?
(CHEERING) Yes! Go get 'em. Time starts now!
These guys are quick.
Yes!
Oh-oh, yeah, boy!
Look at this! Amazing.
Whoo-hoo!
Oh, yes!
The adrenaline begins again. I know. It's a new day.
Hey, drawers! Drawers.
You're gone for the next half an hour, aren't you, Ryan.
Yeah, somebody just come and get me.
I was a little bit excited when I found that brick pit.
Oh, my god!
Oh, lots of hinges.
There are no sound effects when you're in there
but I heard them in my head.
(ANGELIC VOICES) Just this angelic moment of...
(VOCALISES) Ah, good stuff.
We have a timeline. You only get so many hours.
You wanna get as much into those hours as you can.
Grandmasters is definitely gonna be a lot more stressful
and Owen's gonna do it the way he does.
Beep, beep. Hello.
Some of these, some of these.
It's all about Owen's speed.
Owen's fast, Owen's aggressive.
Where is the snot gone?
He's so fast, he's there and back
before there's any time to do anything, you know?
(OWEN PANTS)
Coming out.
Oh, he nailed it.
What are your ideas? OK.
So, just hear me out.
Speak faster. So, I was thinking...
I was thinking dystopian. Yeah. I'm in.
My idea is space monkeys.
(LAUGHS)
We got this.
OK, double. It's gotta be a double. We gotta start with a double.
Oh, goodness.
Alright. Let's go. Let's go.
Ryan, please. Yeah, yeah. Coming.
Coming, dear.
I'm actually excited. I can feel right.
Yeah, yeah.
It feels like we just stepped back in time two years.
Oh, totally.
Bang, straight back.
(SINGING) # Oh why, why did I come to the brick pit? #
Did miss one bit. I'll be back.
No, no, no, no. Don't do this to me again.
Thirty seconds, Ryan.
Very good.
I think that we scraped through early on in our season.
Is he like a statue?
Your scale's a little bit muddled.
We didn't know each other's communication styles.
Or build styles.
No. No.
And then when we finally started to find the fun in the build...
Do you think they're a little skewiff?
We kind of finally started to figure out how to work together.
BRICKMAN: It's a fun story.
It's colourful, it's bright. And it's hilarious.
You're the team that has developed as Lego builders and as a team
more than any other.
We really do feel like we were just starting to hit our stride
and then it was all over.
So, to have another chance, which we didn't expect,
is a chance to really see what we can do together.
My first thought when I see those plates coming down is that I want
to create something that has big visual impact right from the get go.
So, today we're building a Viking tree of life.
So, in Norse mythology,
the whole world is kind of built around this one tree.
There is a Viking who's died,
ascending up to feast for eternity in Asgard at the top of the tree.
I'm scared that maybe we don't belong here...
But there is just something exciting
about rising to the top of THIS group of people.
It's just like,
how good would it be to hoist this trophy.
Let's just go as hard as we possibly can.
Oh!
Do you like it so far? Do I?
No, it's terrible, it's terrible.
Mate, you guys, this brick ain't yours.
(LAUGHS) Far out.
Look out.
I just realised it's moved again. Eugh!
Gosh, this thing is moving.
I sent some tension.
I've never play with Lego like this before.
(LAUGHTER)
Oh, it's fantastic to be back.
This is the first time we've built together, right?
To be paired with Kale is an absolute brilliant pairing, I think.
Thank you. You're pretty awesome too.
On Season 2 I was definitely known for my character builds.
I want a real kind of ahh kind of expression on them now.
Things like the chicken man
and the farmer and the rabbit,
the cowboy.
Those sorts of builds. Bright, colourful, and fun.
I've been Lego-famous for quite some time.
(SQUEALING AND CHEERING)
I don't have to introduce myself in Lego circles.
As an artist, sometimes you do get those lightbulb moments
where you just know that you're onto a genius idea.
Simple solution.
We're going huge.
Kale scale at it's heart
really is just about going as big as possible.
Lift.
I want my redemption ark.
Yeah, that's why I'm here.
We have to go big.
I believe so.
(CHUCKLES)
It makes me feel a little nervous
but I think this is a potential absolute dream match-up.
We just don't know where it's gonna go.
I think that's the X factor everyone's looking for.
This could be insane.
Brickman, it is Grandmasters.
Always the first episode of a Lego Masters is like,
let's see what everyone can do.
But this is different 'cause we know what everyone can do.
Correct. The talent in the room. Yeah.
It's like Brownlow night.
Look at that, that's pretty epic.
We could maybe go one stud that way to the left.
That can be done.
It's gonna be like 14 episodes of finals.
Pretty much.
We're starting at that level.
We could have the monster coming up in the middle.
Yeah.
This challenge is essentially three things...
Remember the Hanging Brick challenge?
Mm-hm. It's that.
Yep.
The Above and Below challenge? Yep.
It's that.
And it's an opening of Lego Masters build.
True. All in one.
That's how you build on Grandmasters.
I feel like it's absolutely off to that tingly start.
Definitely. Have you got grand tingles?
I've got grand tingles.
That should be...
Ooh.
Oh! (LAUGHS)
Hello, boys. G'day, mate.
Hi, Hamish.
Very, very good to see you. Yeah.
Very good to see you guys here. Likewise, mate.
Just quietly...
You do still owe us 50 bucks.
Season four, I'm a man of my word.
That is my own money.
Yeah, I do remember.
I'll absolutely give it to you. Respect that.
With interest?
Yeah, no, I'm interested in getting it to you,
if that's what you're saying.
Yeah, I'm very interested in getting it to you.
$50 even. What have we got here?
We're sort of doing like, a ship yard.
We've gone for a very different approach.
We've decided to do a futuristic lighthouse
and loading dock for airships.
The space are like old timey, naval vessels but...
But with rockets.
With rocket power.
That's really good.
Have you free-built many pirate ships before?
No, I've absolutely not built a pirate ship ever.
It's very outside of our comfort zone, I think.
We're the guys who won Season 4.
Everyone knows us for our monsters, characters, dragons of course.
Just gonna whack it on there.
Since Lego Masters, Lego's become an even bigger part of my life.
I've got three of my MOCs
on display now in the Lego Masterpiece Gallery in Denmark.
Which is a super huge honour.
We're surrounded by the best of the best
and getting thrown into the arena just super, super intimidating.
But to actually win and be Grandmasters of Lego Masters,
that would be insane.
Yeah, I think that would be cool. Yeah. I reckon it looks sick.
Grandmasters, you are 2 hours down, 12 to go.
Is everyone just remembering how fast the time goes in here?
Yes. (LAUGHS)
Man! I forgot what it's like to build under pressure.
Scotty, are you coming or what?
Red ones that match, ah-huh, ah-huh.
(MOMENTOUS MUSIC)
The Grandmaster thing, I don't think about it, I just build.
You're a Lego artist. Yeah.
That's why you're on Grandmasters.
Yeah.
I reckon there's something to that. OK.
It's an NPU, that's for sure.
Well, yeah.
Greatness doesn't have to tell people it's great,
they tell you, you know?
I don't feel I've got anything to prove.
The only person I need to answer to is the person I see in the mirror.
And the judge of the show.
Mmm...
He's judging our... Judging our build.
Trent and Kale, welcome back.
Thanks, Brickman. How do you feel?
It's fantastic. Yeah.
What are you coming up with?
So, this is, I guess,
a battle of the upper class and the underground class.
Oh.
We've got the idea of a big drilling mech popping up,
burrowed through the ground and they're in that battle.
You've got the action. Tick. Done.
But it's just about making it super crystal clear
why this thing is up there and why it's happening.
OK. We might need to think...
Inspiration comes from, you know, many places.
So a little bit BioShock, a little bit 'Avatar',
a little bit of class warfare that would come out of cyberpunk
but it doesn't have to be cyberpunk, you know?
You draw from all those sources
and all of a sudden you get something new.
But why is it in the sky?
That's the question I'm wanting to answer.
Yep.
Brickman might have just given us the first bad advice
he's ever given us.
Why are they there? Why is it floating in space?
I think it's very important though that we don't...
Like how does it live on the moment we step away?
(DREAMY MUSIC)
It's not because we've answered why,
it's because they've asked why and continue to ask why.
So like, what happens next...
(VOICE FADES) What's just happened. Why?
So, we don't have to expressly solve that.
(VOICE ECHOES INDISTINCTLY)
Seven beep apps as outlined by Homer, you know?
It comes back to that.
I didn't quite understand what you just said.
HAMISH: Brickman, it's the first ever Lego Masters Grandmasters...
Mm-hm. ..worldwide.
It is.
Ooh, yeah.
Is it time? Definitely.
We're gonna see the best stuff we've ever seen.
Yes. My mind's kinda exploding.
It's gonna be messy. It is.
Oh, you've got these little cupids. ALEX: Yeah, they're cute, eh?
Very cute.
Brick check.
Johnny, boy, how's the old brick going?
(HEAVENLY VOICES) Whoa!
OK. No worries, mate. (HAMMERING SOUNDS)
I'll come back later.
Thanks. Still going.
Brick's not finished, not forged yet.
Keep building, everyone.
It's very hot. Coming out.
He's just the speed of light everywhere he goes, isn't he.
Rotating, rotating. Yep.
Almost. Taking forever.
Come on. Faster fingers. Motor time.
Oh!
OK, I'm taking a five-minute break. No. Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Oh, yeah. Do not endorse these actions.
That's a cute monkey, man.
(BRICKS CLATTER TO THE GROUND) Whoa!
Whoo!
This is what happens when you abandon the team!
(LAUGHTER)
At least it wasn't the build this time.
Scotty smash? Scotty smash.
Scotty smash. Do it.
Are we up for another Scotty smash?
Is this a hallmark? I hope not.
People may remember us as...
'manic' I think is the word that comes to mind.
Oh, man, there's bricks there!
We've got to come up with a whole new idea.
We have no time.
Oh, why do we keep doing this?
(EXHALES) OK.
Let's just take a breath. (TAKES A DEEP BREATH)
Going in the season we learnt a lot about
having those five minutes to step back and review a build.
I think it's the coolest thing we've done.
That's kind of what leads us to creating our best builds.
I'm pretty chuffed, eh. It's fricking sick. I love it.
Yeah!
Last time we came second. So we've got scores to settle.
(LAUGHS)
Given that it's Grandmasters, it's not gonna be that easy
but how would it be to win?
I would thoroughly enjoy winning.
The grandest of masters.
This needs to be tighter, I think.
Hey, guys. Hey.
Bad time? Good time?
It's always a good time you, Hamish.
Great to have you back. Thanks, man.
Crisp by five.
Is it the same mechanism making that go up...
It is. ..and that go that way?
One of the things that we've brought to the competition previously
are some elaborate mechanisms.
Starting to get a bit high on this.
We have to up the motor ante.
So, we're building a mine that mines a special mineral in space
known as Riveranium.
And they are refining it down
to sell back to the people in the big rich castle.
I think you're the only guys using motors and stuff.
OK. Big advantage?
Hopefully. Could be our downfall.
It could also be what gets you the win.
Yeah.
Could chat. Team on three - one, two, three.
Team.
Scotty! Yo.
Love you! Love you too, man.
You know this is a competition, right? They beat us last time.
I don't hold grudges.
Amazing to be back.
Everyone has earned the right to be in this competition.
You want to compare yourself against past winners of Lego Masters.
You have Henry over here,
Joss and Henry, the other Henry over there.
It's gonna be a Henry-off.
Space monkeys. Space monkeys.
Space monkeys!
That's how you have to say is? Yeah.
Go for it. Space monkeys!
You're in.
We're building a rocket ship that's crashed into our island
and has populated our world with some space monkeys.
(LAUGHS)
We have a few technical challenges in this build.
Right, push me, Gus. Eh?
Push me. Ahh, he's here.
(BRICKS CLATTER) Ooh!
For us to have a big rocket going through the island,
we have to make sure that it can hold the weight
because it's going to be big.
And it has to be perfectly aligned.
So that's got to be a big challenge.
Push down on it? Yes.
It goes that way. Is that right? Yes.
I thought that way. A tiny bit.
I'm sorry, I'm gonna have to take it apart.
Sarah and Henry. How are you guys going?
Hi, Hamish. Good, mate. How are you?
Really well. Can you talk me through the build?
So, basically we're gonna build a dystopian shantytown
with a monster attacking this derelict city.
My inspiration for a monster?
My mother. (LAUGHTER)
Correct me if I'm wrong here
but have you been in the top two 12 times combined?
Oh, wow. Yes. Absolutely.
Two trophies. Two trophies!
The biggest trophy cabinet of any team.
Yeah.
Henry, Season 1 and Sare, our Bricksmas special.
You won 100 grand. Yeah.
You won... Ahh, you won the one with no money.
That's still two trophies.
I think being back on the floor,
it honestly felt like a long weekend.
We never left.
My stuff's still in the corner.
Alex, I've never built anything like this before.
I know.
Have you ever made a love-making mech before?
Oh no, I've done that part. (LAUGHS)
I just haven't done the whole Lego building part.
(LAUGHS)
So, our story's gonna be that
the cherubs are sick of doing the matchmaking themselves
so they've built this big robot to do the matchmaking
and the love pairing up for them.
They're out to find love.
Little mini figures looking for love.
Robot can do it for them.
I love that so much. Yeah, it's fun.
I didn't think the effect would be that great.
Caleb's working on the love bot.
I'm smashing out some cherubs.
It's a cute size.
I think they're a good size
'cause the minifigs are sort of like the humans,
these are the more creature-y sort of ones.
(GASPS)
(LAUGHS) Stop doing that.
This is working out.
Alright, Brickman,
what's your general vibe with how everyone's going?
Gabby and Ryan. You know what?
It's the ball joints, they're almost too flexy.
I feel like Gabby and Ryan have
both been working on their technical stuff.
Yeah, right.
I'm starting to see some really crazy part usage
and technical things that we really didn't see from them.
I like it.
Ahh, beautiful.
That's great. I concur.
David and Gus, space monkey. Awesome.
They've really hit the ground running.
Alright, dude, I think I'm done with this section.
Do you like the idea that it's crashing through the planet?
Like it a lot. I knew you would.
It's a great way to bring 360 degrees to it.
Happy with that? Yeah, that's cool.
Trent and Kale.
They have come together as a team.
They've never built before. Yep.
Now, with that come some challenges.
They've gotta learn about each other's building styles.
Yep. And they're really struggling.
How's it going there? Having a bit of a creative block.
So, our original idea was to have
the under dwellers attacking the city above.
But Brickman's come and visited
and he said, why is this floating in the sky?
Kale's doing the old explain it away by magic
which is to me, I don't think visually it will solve the problem.
I really wanna come up with a clear idea.
Can we just pivot something, some element of it,
that really leans into the floating island?
Ideas are easy, OK. Ideas are easy.
It's finding the right solution.
What is the best solution to the question Brickman has just posed?
Yes.
You're right. We both missed it.
It's a heist. What are they stealing?
Yeah but... But you could do a heist...
Maybe stealing the means that keeps it afloat.
Our idea has changed to a wizard's tower
where a phoenix has made its nest
and the marauders are coming up
to steal the eggs that are powering the island.
So, I'm trying to work on the birds wing's.
I'm on the little eggs.
It needs to of course stay at the top and not collapse.
I'm not concerned about time.
I'm excited. You are.
Design's not finished till there's nothing left to take away.
That means you've got to have a whole bunch there in the bucket
to begin with, you know,
and then you just kind of simplify.
Yeah. That's the goal anyway.
Coming in.
Whoo, we're getting the thing together now.
(CRASH) Sorry!
(LAUGHTER)
Owen! That was me again.
No doubt.
Pento...
It's nice man. Thanks, mate.
I'm just gonna hug it.
So, we just missed out on winning Season 2.
This time I feel like second's not good enough anymore.
No.
The Grandmasters, this is our chance...
To get the win.
To get the big win that we didn't get last time.
Yes.
That's the one we want.
We've watched all of the seasons
and we know all the things that everybody builds.
We want to bring something new to the table in Grandmasters.
Damian and I are building sun spire resort.
A beautiful, luxurious holiday destination way above the clouds.
Book now, spots are limited.
(CHUCKLES) I'm in.
So, timewise we have a lot to do.
We don't take it for granted ever but I think we're going OK.
Are we going OK? I'm not going OK.
Yes, I have been known to be a perfectionist
and that can come to bite me.
But, you know, I just wanna do the best job possible.
Guys, you are halfway...
(TEAMS GROAN) What?
(CLATTER)
And I am stopping the clock.
Ooh.
Ooh, twist.
No.
We're judging it now.
Oh, yay!
No. It's time that I explain
just what the special brick that's being created in the forge can do.
Would you like to find out? ALL: Yes.
Please.
I need to go and get something. Brickman, come with me.
Stay there.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Whoa! Wow!
It's time that I explain
just what the special brick that's being created in the forge can do.
But to explain how you win the brick,
I need to go and get something. Brickman, come with me.
Stay there.
(CHUCKLES) Dude, I'm so scared.
Whoa! Ooh, hello.
It's 'The Block'. (LAUGHS)
Welcome to the first ever Lego Masters leaderboard.
Why are we using a leaderboard?
Today's build is not how you win the brick.
If you want to win the immunity brick,
you will be judged on the total score from the next three builds.
Wow. OK.
So, each of the next three builds will be scored.
You'll see exactly where you sit,
and the highest total score at the end of the next three builds
will win the brick.
As you can see, during each build, you know
if you need to take a risk to get your hands on that brand-new brick.
You win that brick, it keeps you safe from the first elimination.
A massive power.
So, key points P the brick keeps you safe,
total score of the first three builds,
it's not 'The Block'.
(LAUGHTER)
Any questions?
I have a question.
Damian, you've got a question.
I have two As in my name.
ALL: Ooh!
Great.
I'll double check that.
I know how seriously you take font and spelling.
How does my H make you feel?
Look at it.
So, apart from that, all good.
You'll see the leaderboard at the end of the build.
The clock's back on. You've got seven hours.
Build, build.
It takes three episodes to earn one brick.
Grandmasters is that.
Working three times as hard for the same thing.
I think the leaderboard's a great concept.
You can actually see where you are.
Everyone else can see it as well.
There's no-one that doesn't want the brick, I think.
It's raised the level again.
Ryan hasn't been building in the brick pit
nearly as much as I'm used to
so it's been good.
I understand why it's fun to build in the brick pit
'cause everything you need's right there.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Are you having a conversation about my MIA-ing?
No.
Can't help but feel that it was exactly about my MIA-ing.
I'm really loving that.
That looks so organic coming up.
So, what we're building, Yggdrasil, which is the Viking tree of life.
And our little Viking who's died
is sending up to feast for eternity in Asgard
at the top of the tree.
But the main story is just the tree itself.
I love the colours of this build
and I don't think I've seen anyone do the technique
where they wrap the tree with bricks all the way around.
I think that will give it an organic kind of look.
That's looking cool. Are you covering the whole thing?
Like, dense? Well, as dense as we can go.
That's gonna look unreal.
I feel like we've got this competitive friendship going on.
We're going to smoke you guys.
We'll see you at the top of the leaderboard.
I reckon just a little bit shorter
just so you get clear line of sight through here.
So that you can see the mechanism.
Scotty and I, we're building a mine.
We've got five mechanisms.
It's just a really cool concept.
It's all big machines, big everything.
We like big machines. Yeah.
Alright, I'm really done on this, man.
Scott and Owen, hello. Do I get a sneak peek?
Alright, let's stand back, I'm gonna turn it on.
(WHIRRING)
OK.
Holy cow.
We've got the conveyor belts. Yep.
Pump. Yep.
We've got the pistons. Yep.
And we've got the oscillating radar dish.
Correct.
That's pretty crazy. How many motors?
Oh, one, two, three... One for each is it?
Five. One for each, yeah.
We just wanna be able to see it from all the sides.
Sweet.
Can I ask a question?
Absolutely. For sure.
What was the plan for colour?
The plan for colour...
'Cause it ain't so colourful. BOTH: It's not.
Colour's been one of our bugaboos. 100%.
Come back here, all the way back here.
What can you see?
Grey.
You actually have lost everything.
A lot like our Mission to Mars build,
we're gonna slip and fall and roll down the hill with this one
if we don't have anything that kind of draws your eye in.
What colour?
I'll be honest, mate, it's there.
That looks awesome.
Doing great work, Alex. Thanks, mate. As are you.
Keep it steady, keep it... (CLATTER)
Yep. OK, we're rebuilding that.
OK, so it's Grandmasters.
Now, everyone's come back to do battle once more.
How do you communicate that they're doing battle?
A classic move is to essentially give everyone a player card
and really make it clear that, you know, they're out for revenge.
Even if they're not.
Um... Gus, Dave, sorry to bother you.
I know you're very busy.
Just need to do your player profile shot
'cause it's Grandmasters.
Of course. So, just over here fellas.
You know, just classic player profile stuff.
So, back-to-back and what I need you to do is...
Usually it's shot in a green screen studio
and the camera can spin around.
Mm-hm. We don't have that.
So you guys need to rotate. You rotate, OK?
Back-to-back. And here we go.
Ready? Three, two, one, start rotating.
(DRAMATIC VOICE) David and Gus.
They're the most bearded team on Grandmasters
and out for their second win.
Even though they won Season 3, they're out for revenge.
Great. We got it. That was pretty good.
This is supposed to be like, a Grandmasters, right?
They should have at least budgeted for a Lazy Susan.
(DRAMATIC VOICE) Scotty and Owen.
Look out, they're the hot bad boys from WA.
With more shakas thrown
than any other team.
They're not here for second place though,
these guys are out for revenge.
Joss and Henry.
They're the brick-building brothers but also the babies of Grandmasters.
Gabby and Ryan.
They're the only team to be eliminated
and get back in the contest.
Henry and Sarah.
They're Australia's favourite husband and wife team.
Although, to be clear,
they are husband and wife to different people, not each other.
These Season 4 finalists
hold the record for both the most amount of singing during builds
and the most amount of burps.
Look out, Australia, it's Damo and the A-dog.
Trent and Kale.
They've both tasted the stale milk of defeat,
this time they want the ice cream of victory.
And revenge!
Well written. Thank you.
Guys, that took me minutes out there.
Now that, that's promo-able. It is.
Everyone, you have three hours.
No way. Yes way.
Come on, man, we've gotta motor.
(WHISPERS) That's a cool tentacle.
Is it alright? Yeah, I like it, Henry.
Alright, Brickman,
this is two hours less than we normally give people
for this first build of the season.
And I think they're all ahead of the curve.
Yeah, we need more flappy wings.
Trent and Kale could, by a feather, have the tallest structure.
(EXHALES)
I wanna talk about that bird that's on the top.
Those wings on that bird, I like them, they're cool.
They're cheap.
Yeah.
You build those wings when you've got 35 minutes to make a Lego model.
Right.
If you've got 14 hours, you can really go to town on them.
Got you. That's cheap.
Is it too late to go to them?
Wait right here, mate. No, no, no. Don't say anything.
Hey, Trent? Mmm?
Can you...
Pull up a pew. Hello.
How are you, big guy? Hey.
We're just admiring the build
and what do you think about the bird on top?
Could it be bigger?
You have time. Yeah.
How much is left?
There's not a lot of time but Brickman's 100% spot on.
Wings on three?
ALL: One, two, three, wings.
Do you know what the problem is? What?
The wings.
Brickman's 100% spot on.
Our phoenix has this tiny wingspan.
It's like a hatchling.
I don't think it could actually fly at this point.
How much time is on the clock?
Really, the wingspan needs to be as big as the island.
There's nothing to lose. There's nothing to lose.
Not an elimination. Yeah.
We gotta go for it. Let's do it.
Second set of wings.
They're gone.
There's no other option now than to go with the big wings.
No going back.
Oh, sick. Yeah.
That's cool. Where's the cherub?
Good?
I love it. Like it?
Yeah. Love it.
Seen the space monkeys?
They're sick. God damn them.
How's this monkey world going? It is looking cool.
The story is just right there
and really available from every angle, all 360 degrees.
Yeah, nice.
Perfectly aligned, it looks pretty nice
but is it not enough.
You know, you don't want to get into a big rocket contest with anyone.
(LAUGHS)
You should be proud of your rocket. And what it can do.
Yeah, it is quite...
Hey, man, we're not gonna go the size of your rocket.
(LAUGHTER)
We've got quite a bit done.
We've got all the smaller elements ready to go.
We just need to now put those onto our island
and really develop the story using them.
Looking around the room, everyone's got incredible builds.
There's so much Lego built on these floating islands.
Gabby and Ryan's from across the room looks amazing.
Joss and Henry will be up there for sure.
It looks like it's got movement that it doesn't actually have.
It's really clever.
Scotty and Owen, insane.
But we think our story's pretty clear
so hopefully that'll get us back up there as well.
Alright, everyone, you are not in the red zone yet.
But you are now.
(SIREN) ALL: Oh!
One hour to go in the first build of Grandmasters.
In an hour's time we find out who sits at the top of the leaderboard.
Let's do it.
These are really good barricades, you just need to look at my fingers.
We need to get this crane sorted as well, Scotty.
Brickman's come round
and he's brought a good point forward that we need pops of colour.
Alright, what else do we need? Company logos.
The plan now with colour is to pop orange on the logos,
put them all over the build,
and tie that in with the orange minifigs
to draw your eye to the areas of interest.
I'm looking at it and I'm like, yeah, it's a good vibe.
I like the way the baseplate has changed colour.
I like the way the red pops on brown.
I like the way the orange pops against the grey.
OK, how's that? Good?
Yeah.
Super colourful, Henry.
Oh, yeah.
With time we have remaining,
we wanna finish off some of these finer details
because it's Grandmasters, details matter, right?
In my opinion, on top of the leaderboard is Damian and Andrew.
Yep.
I love the geometry that they've done.
Yeah, it's beautiful. Very big and very imposing.
I prefer more that shape. Me too.
Step back from it for a sec.
How's that balance, Joss?
It might need a little bit of extra on here.
Alright, everybody, half an hour to go.
Thirty minutes.
Oh, boy!
Thirty minutes until you find out who is the top of the leaderboard
and of course I suppose, who is the bottom.
Running out of room here so yeah, 30 minutes.
Thirty minutes to go on our first build for Grandmasters,
and it's been a real rush.
We are still trying to put on final details.
We want it to be the best possible.
We're just gonna give it all we've got for the last half an hour
and hope it's gonna be enough.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
Eugh! I'm panicking.
We wanted to do hell on the bottom of our build
but hell's out the window.
We've run out of time.
So Ryan's put roots that go up and feed our Tree of Life.
Getting the zhuzh.
Look, unfinished it'll look a bit amateurish
if we don't get enough detail.
It's a good idea.
There's some great techniques in it.
It's gonna come down to is there enough polish on it
to make it a Grandmasters build.
Oh, yeah, that one works. Yeah, it's like...
How about we just move its legs
to look like it's flying a bit more.
Yep.
The last hour's all about rebuilding the wings of the phoenix.
We've come up with the craziest design.
It's leaves connected with sausages.
Feeling pretty good.
These wing are so big
it's that big, imposing sight
that you see when you look up in the sky.
I like it. Yeah.
I like it a lot more than the other one.
Isn't it round the wrong way?
Like, they're not the same.
Yeah, they are. That's true.
Traditionally, birds have symmetrical...
They are also on fire.
Maybe they, I don't know.
It's not about whether it's a real bird or not
it's about your eyesight...
I hear what you're saying, dude, I do.
One of the key things you notice with birds is
the wings are mirror images.
Birds need symmetrical wings,
and don't try and say it's a magical bird so it's all OK.
No, no, birds do need symmetrical wings.
Good, I'm glad we agree.
Did you keep the other wings? I think they've been binned.
So, it's really these wings, these wings or bust.
Yep.
So, I guess you could say you're winging it.
(CHUCKLES) Did you get that?
Or was I off camera for winging it?
Shame, because that was really good.
So I go, "Are you making it up?"
He goes, "Yeah, always."
I go, "So, I guess you could say you're winging it."
Anyway, you had to be there. It was good. It was really good.
Space monkeys!
Space monkey.
Scotty moment.
Come on, Henry. You're in a band.
(HENRY SINGS) # Space monkeys. #
Awesome.
Ten minutes. Ten minutes, everybody.
Oh!
OK, that's gonna need a bit more support, I think.
Alright, let's move this table out.
Let go. Let go slowly. Slowly.
Thank you. No, it's not in line.
Tell you what, you forget how monstrous 14 houses is for a build.
I think we're absolutely knackered.
But we've got a pretty cool build to show for it.
I'm gonna crack on with some more folks.
Yep. 'Cause it's looking pretty barren.
Really into the detail stage of the build now
so what I'm doing here is I'm just trying to add some earthy texture
to where the rocket's sort of exploded into the earth.
I definitely feel like we've met brief for this build.
You truly wanna fiddle with that?
No, yeah, you're right. I'm not.
(LAUGHS)
Coming back into Grandmasters, I feel that we need to prove that
we didn't reach our peak in the finale of our season.
So, we've put in a lot of work to get all of that detail right.
We have a lot to prove.
Oh, yeah, some... Whoa!
Sorry.
Where are they? 'Cause we've got a tower up here.
OK.
This is set dressing time.
You don't want to have anything on the build that shouldn't be there
or anything missing that should be.
I'm hoping for a bit of a middle upper of the pack.
I don't think we're the worst here.
Not yet.
At what point do we look up
and think, oh, my god, what are we doing here?
It's every five minutes or so.
Every run to the brick pit is a scan across the room
and a freak out session.
There's a new phenomenal, finale-worthy build on the table.
Yeah. Well, that's it.
They're all finale builders.
Alright, everybody, you have one minute.
One minutes to go.
Final minute. There it is.
Final minute. There's either a lot to do or nothing to do.
Oh, man. Eugh!
Should we try putting it into position?
Yeah, I reckon.
In the last minute we are trying to get the wings on our phoenix.
This is a crucial moment in the wing design.
Gotta be symmetrical.
Two, four, five. Yeah, we've pegged it the same way.
I counted right? OK.
There we go.
I think we've got it.
I think we did the best we could with the time we had.
Step back before it crashes.
Here we go P Ten... Hustle's on.
..nine... Whoa!
..eight... Just hold it.
..seven, six.
Oh, my hands are so sweaty.
..five, four...
Oh, these dudes aren't looking at each other.
..three... Oh, that's it. Yeah.
..two, one...
(HEAVENLY VOICES)
Whoo-hoo! Wow!
Oh, yeah.
Whoo-hoo!
(MAJESTIC MUSIC)
Alright, everyone.
Well, I mean, in the Lego Masters era of the last few years,
we have taken things to the next level.
You've expected the unexpected.
But this is Grandmasters
and so there is a level of grandness that is expected.
I think it is very safe to say, build one, you have all delivered.
So, well done.
The grandness is real.
But let's inspect the grandness a little closer.
Ryan and Gabby.
I think that this build just looks magical.
I love the presence that our build has,
and I think it's clean.
It's one clear idea. Yep.
Done well, hopefully.
Wow.
It's the Viking Tree of Life, isn't it. Does it have a Viking name?
It's called Yggdrasil.
And I wouldn't like to be assessed on how I said that word
by anyone who knows how to say it.
We've chosen to build the Viking Tree of Life.
So, at the bottom of the build
we have the roots that go up and feed our Tree of Life.
You see a little Viking funeral.
(FIRE CRACKLES)
The Bifrost, the rainbow bridge,
and our little Viking who's died is ascending up
to feast for eternity in Asgard at the top of the tree.
I am not familiar with Norse mythology
but even not knowing Norse mythology,
you can see a clear story there.
And I think that adds a lot.
I think those roots underneath, they're pretty gnarly, I reckon.
They are really cool.
And the vines, or the way that you've done the bark work,
if you want to call it that,
around the tree, they look just amazing.
I mean, one obvious question is
the tree could have been brown but making it grey,
what's your take on that?
Awesome.
By going a different colour, it really made it work and pop.
This is really, really cool. Well done, guys.
(APPLAUSE) Thank you.
GABBY: It's nice to hear some good feedback.
I'm feeling good now that we'll get to the top half of the leaderboard.
I'm getting a little bit excited.
Yes! (LAUGHS)
Alright, Trent and Kale.
I am super proud of what we've been able to accomplish.
We had a few hiccups that slowed us down
but we got the wings.
I'm happy.
The leaderboard, that's not anything I'm worried about whatsoever.
For a Lego Masters build, this is the best I've done yet.
HAMISH: Alright, Trent and Kale.
Alright, fellows, officially not just your first Grandmasters build,
but your first build as a team.
How do you feel about this build?
Well, you're obviously up against some amazing competition
and so you're judging now against that.
As a first build together, I'm very happy with it.
(SOUND OF BIRD CAWING)
So, there's a wizard's tower where a phoenix has made its nest.
(SOUND OF BIRD CAWING)
And the marauders are coming up... (SOUND OF WAR CRIES)
..to steal the eggs,
be it by sky dragon... (SOUND OF DRAGON ROARING)
or space pirate ship.
And below, we've got all these rockets
that are propelling the city through the air.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC)
(SOUND OF BIRD CAWING)
Let's talk the wings.
It was a late-in-the-game decision to triple the wingspan.
Yeah, we had a small, flightless bird.
He would have just plummeted out of that tower
and flapped and just...
Maybe it was hummingbird action.
So, I think this representation is much more fitting.
Brickman, your take on the wing saga first of all.
Well, first off, it had to happen, definitely.
So you both made the right decision as far as that goes.
However, it would look better with a much different technique.
Using those as feathers is great
but other components in it to give it more volume.
And I can say the same thing with the base as well,
the underneath side of it.
It just looks like all afterthoughts.
Again it comes back to that difference in thinking, I guess,
between me and Brickman.
He seems to be quite literal in the way he perceives a build.
I'm much more experiential.
Joss and Henry, let's take a look.
Super happy with how our build looks.
Super abstract, super futuristic. Mmm.
And it looks like it's floating when it's up there.
But in any other room, our build would look really, really good.
But this is just competition beyond what we've ever experienced.
Henry, Joss, your space pirate, lighthouse world.
Should we turn it on? Yeah, let's turn it on.
We've built a futuristic lighthouse loading dock for airships.
But it's being raided by space pirates.
(SOUND OF A MANIACAL LAUGH)
(SOUNDS OF BATTLE)
We definitely feel accomplished with how the aesthetic came together,
'cause it's really not something that is stereotypical at all.
Was there part of you guys in this build going
OK, we want to do something a bit different
than what we've done on the show?
Yeah, definitely.
We wanted to set ourselves apart
by doing something that was technically tricky.
Having the counterbalance rather than building in the middle.
It was a very high-risk, high reward thing
but I'm happy that we managed to get it balanced.
It's quite a grand thing to be not in the middle.
If we look at all of the others around the room,
obviously the centre point of balance is a key thing.
Smart play. Very smart play.
So, quite a bold thing for you to try, to move it off to the side.
I think the lighthouse is ace, the ship's ace.
There's some crazy Lego on it, there are some very unusual shapes.
But it's missing the glue that's holding it all together.
Are they fighting over something?
It's hard to tell that melding
of those two amazing things that you've got on there.
There's a real missed opportunity.
This is Grandmasters.
Little things like that are really, really important.
I'm not disappointed in our build
but it's like, our build's great
but a lot of the others are amazing.
Mmm. 100%.
Henry and Sarah.
Guys, our shipping container trash world
with very hungry tentacled monster.
How are you guys feeling about it?
I really, really enjoyed it
as more of a point of getting into a rhythm with a new person
and working out how quick they work
and what they're good at and then meshing that together.
What's Henry good at?
Everything. (LAUGHTER)
It's really interesting, isn't it, because
you've got a super cool monster
and the world is amazingly colourful.
Shipping containers gave you licence to do all sorts of crazy,
unusual colours.
And when you look around at all of the other builds,
it pops, which is a huge, big tick, by the way.
What's lacking is the
why is this monster in this shipping container world?
Or, how is it interacting? What's going on with that?
So, the individual components...
Yep.
The story, that's where it gets a little bit muddled.
Cool. Yep.
Alex and Caleb.
Love robot. (SOUNDS OF ROBOT BEEPING)
Cupids. Love world.
(SOUNDS OF ROBOT BEEPING)
How was it for you guys being back in here?
Ooh! Oh!
Say no more. Yeah.
Wowzers. "Wasn't I just here recently?"
Overall thoughts, Brickman.
It's super poppy, colourful-wise.
So, colour is a huge tick for me.
I love that you've gone for a character.
I love that it's really unique.
It's probably just lacking a bit of polish, that's all.
Andrea and Damian.
The glorious Sun Hotel.
(SOUND OF BIRDS CHIRPING) There is a lot going on here.
(SOUND OF WATER SPLASHING) It looks great.
Brickman,
technically, is this a hard thing to build, this curvy shape?
First of all, I'll tell you what I'm impressed by with that shape,
it's a smart shape because
basically you're making the same thing four times.
Repetition, as we know, plays a big part in building fast.
So really quite smart.
And double bonus, it helps with balance
because you've got the four things on all those sides.
A couple of Easter eggs, if I may, Hamish...
they're not very environmentally friendly, are they?
(LAUGHTER) That's how they take out the trash.
There's a safety rail at ground level
but then there's just tons of people.
It's just really take your own chances up there.
Extreme sunbathing.
You pay more for that. Yep.
Really like those details.
I think it's awesome. Well done. Well done, guys. Great work.
(APPLAUSE)
Scotty and Owen.
Ours is a very different build to everyone else in the room.
We've focused on lots of mechanisms.
It's hard to tell if we've done enough to set ourselves apart.
Super nervous.
Scotty and Owen.
SCOTTY: I'm loving it.
I'm just a big fan of this whole thing
from start to finish.
But the builds out there look absolutely sublime
so it is really anyone's game at this point.
Fellows, lovely to have you back building, and what a pace.
What a pace you build at. Are you happy with the pace?
I'm happy with the pace, yeah. I think we picked up.
That's a surprise to me.
I thought he wasn't gonna be happy with my pace.
This floating piece of valuable earth
has been absolutely gutted.
Shall we see it on?
Sure. Turn her on. Yep.
(WHIRRING)
Alright, cool.
Yeah, wow. Yeah, there's a bit going on.
So, on our mine
we've got a crane that lifts the ore up from underneath,
drops it into a crusher,
through the train,
onto the conveyor,
into the blast furnace. (SOUND OF FIRE ROARING)
We've got the investors.
We've got the mullet men having a dance party.
We've got Paul in the crane.
We've got guys making mistakes. (SOUND OF MAN YELLING IN FEAR)
We've got the on-site dog. (SOUND OF DOG BARKING)
That's awesome.
(APPLAUSE)
Was it like a personal challenge for you, Owen,
to try and get as many motors in as you could?
I think it was more like our strength as a team
and our memorable builds have been mechanism heavy.
And that's our point of difference.
And in the Grandmasters we wanted to sort play to our point of difference
and our strengths.
You wanted to stamp that early? We wanted to stamp it early.
"We're the five motor guys." That's it.
Minimum. Minimum.
It does feel like it comes together well above and below.
Would you say that, Brickman? Definitely.
I think out of all of our builds,
if I look at what's underneath and what's going on,
it's the thing that ties in the most.
There's a lot of things happening underneath.
It really adds a lot of value.
And on that,
an interesting technique that I wanted to talk about,
we have these translucent red bricks.
What you've done is,
before you've placed them is you've put white bricks behind them
so that it lightens and brightens them up.
If you put those red bricks up against the brown,
you basically lose them, you can't see them at all.
But by putting white bricks behind them,
it's actually lit them up and made them a lot brighter.
Very, very smart.
Sneaky, sneaky boys. (LAUGHTER)
But also well played.
Grandmasters, that's exactly what we're looking for.
And how much does the smoke add for you?
Heaps.
It's implied motion again.
It's like something's happening.
I reckon this is a cracker, absolute belter, boys. Well done.
(APPLAUSE)
I feel really good. Mmm.
So, we've now set an expectation for ourselves
that we've now got to maintain.
Five motors, apparently.
David and Gus.
Gus, David, and three, two, one... TOGETHER: Space monkeys!
(GRAND MUSIC)
(SOUND OF MONKEY SCREECHING)
For our build we decided to have
a rocket that crashed into our island
and has populated our world with some space monkeys.
(SOUND OF MONKEYS GRUNTING)
We wanted to build something that
the story is really available from every angle.
And I think this idea really is representing that.
(SOUND OF MONKEYS SCREECHING)
What were you hoping to achieve with this build?
You know, in terms of coming into Grandmasters to be like,
alright, we won series 3
but like, this is where we're at now and this is what we want to do.
What kind of a statement were you hoping to make?
We really wanted to have a lot of fun,
to get that sort of intensity levels but maintain a fun build.
Man, I reckon, personally, definitely achieved that.
Was this a good card to play here? Definitely was.
Definitely was. The whole rocket going through I think is ace.
Even the tip of the nose cone,
by putting a piece of the terrain on it, I think really clever.
But what I think is great is the negative space.
By actually leaving off components where there isn't things,
it does look like a fresh something has just happened.
There's no doubt that you know exactly what's happened.
Definitely. The story is ace.
Well done, guys. Well done, guys.
(APPLAUSE)
GUS: It's a really tight competition for this forged brick.
We think we've got a pretty good chance.
But Scotty and Owen have definitely got me the most worried.
I mean, I know it's been said
but I DO feel like we have to say it again.
The hope of Grandmasters was that we would be at the grand level,
and it really is.
Like, after having seen them close-up, Brickman, unbelievable.
It's epic.
So, on one hand incredible start,
on the other hand, huge pressure from here.
No, well done, well done.
And what you are playing for is still being forged.
(CLANG)
(EVERYONE GROANS)
Behind that door, the brick,
who knows what it will be called but when you see the brick,
that is what will keep you safe from the first elimination.
And we know the way you are playing for that brick
is of course by the total score from the next three builds
which will be ranked on the first ever Lego Masters leaderboard.
I'm sensing a little bit of excitement in the room
for the leaderboard.
Yes!
(LAUGHTER)
Hey, what are you doing to me?
Well, dude, you requested an extra 'A' and I am here to deliver.
Alright, well, we'll look at that.
Obviously time's of the essence so we can't fix it now.
Not the kind of thing that bothers you though, is it?
(LAUGHTER)
Alright.
For the next three builds,
the total winning score at the end of those three builds
will win the brick, at the end of Brick Week.
That brick will keep you safe from elimination.
I can tell you guys each score is out of 20.
MAN: Ooh.
Brickman will give us the teams
from lowest scores to ultimately the winner of the build.
Brickman, who are we starting off with?
Two teams scored 14 points today.
Both great builds with a little bit of room to work on.
The first team with 14 is...
Trent and Kale.
The second team, also on 14 is...
Caleb and Alex.
So, on 15 points with a fantastic build is...
Henry and Sarah. Well done.
And on 16 points and also a fantastic start is...
Joss and Henry.
Joining Henry and Joss on 16 points is...
Damian and Andrew.
Three teams remain.
This is crazy.
This is our finalists from Season 3.
Three, two, one.
It's a grand final replay.
(EXPECTANT MUSIC)
Three teams remain.
Yeah, this is our finalists from Season 3.
This is so full on. Deja vu.
I can't believe it. Deja vu.
You know, we came third. Scotty and Alex second place.
Gus and David... Winners of Season 3.
Alright.
With 17 points,
and, like the others, a fantastical build, it is...
Ryan and Gabby.
Well done.
Come on, guys.
Oh, my god, this is a grand final replay.
I mean, we thought this could happen during Grandmasters
but not Episode One.
Scotty and Owen, you guys have been here before.
You were against David and Gus in the grand finale of your season.
Familiar, fun feelings?
Fun's not the right word.
Great to be back. Yeah, great to be back.
David and Gus, you guys have been here before.
Any less nerve-racking?
Not at all. No.
Nervous then, nervous now.
Alright. Well, this is the way the cards fall, Brickman.
There is clearly one winner.
And the winning team on 18 points...
is...
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
My palms are sweating again, dude, just waiting for him to talk.
I wish Brickman would work at more of an Owen pace
and less of a Scotty pace when he announces results.
I agree with Owen on this one.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC REACHES A CLIMAX)
Scott and Owen. Yay!
Redemption!
Far out. WOMAN: Well done, guys.
Good job. Need a chiro appointment, man.
Yes! Redemption!
The clutch. Cop it Gus... and Dave.
I mean for me, Scott and Owen,
what really got me over the edge was it was a complete build.
I felt, personally, that
you'd stepped straight off your series,
straight into this one,
didn't miss a heartbeat,
learnt all of the lessons that you needed to.
What a cracker of a first build.
Well done. Great job, guys.
Scotty and Owen, I mean, it's only the first step in a long road,
but does it feel great to have won that step?
Yeah.
It's not hundred thousand dollars
but it goes some way towards healing the wounds.
So, step one was healing wounds? Yeah.
Now we begin the process of trying to win Grandmasters.
That's it, yeah.
David and Gus, great job from you guys too.
Yeah, well done, guys. (APPLAUSE)
Right up there.
Alright. I love the excitement that the leaderboard brings
because you can see here,
a bit of basic maths on a four-point spread,
bottom team gains two points, top team loses two points,
it's back even.
It is literally anyone's game. It's super tight.
It's exactly what you want at the start of Brick Week
in Lego Grandmasters.
But you have been through a lot, time to take a break.
We'll have some bragging.
Great job, guys. Great start.
Well done, everyone. Hit the showers.
VOICEOVER: You're about to see
a magician get slammed.
He's gonna go woo!
A massive Grand Masters event.
HAMISH BLAKE: It's gonna be...
explosive!
You're not the only barrel in town.
Those filthy barrel-copying cheats!
It's a challenge...
HAMISH: It is gonna be such a shame to destroy these builds.
..mer-made to make a splash. (DOLPHIN SOUND EFFECT)
The great Grand Masters smash or splash.
(ELASTIC SNAPS) Snap to it, guys!
