LEGO Peely Bone Pt.2

Okay, so you saw my initial post about tackling the LEGO Peely Bone Fortnite set! I mentioned it took me about 8 hours, and let me tell you, that wasn't an exaggeration. After the sheer scale of the LEGO Pyramid of Giza, I thought this 1414-piece set would be a breeze, but it definitely had its moments! One of the coolest parts was seeing how the 'half-banana, half-skeleton' design truly came together. The early stages, as you can see in some of my pics, start with a core of 'colorful internal bricks' that eventually get covered up. It's always fascinating to see LEGO designers build in structural integrity like that. I found myself really focusing on the 'instruction manual' to ensure every 'yellow brick' and 'white skeleton side' was placed perfectly. The 'brown spots' on the banana skin and that single 'black eye' really add to his unique charm! If you're thinking of building this yourself, a few tips from my experience: Organization is Key: With 1414 pieces, don't underestimate the power of sorting! I usually just dump everything, but for this one, breaking down by color or brick type really sped things up later on. Patience, Young Padawan: There were a couple of sections, especially integrating the 'skeleton arm' and 'banana arm' where I had to backtrack. Take breaks if you feel frustrated – that's why my '8ish hours' included one! Appreciate the Details: The 'banana pickaxe' and the other 'harvesting tool' are fantastic small builds that really complete the look. And seeing it stand proudly on its 'black base' with the 'name plaque' is super rewarding. For any fellow Fortnite fans out there wondering about the character itself, Peely Bone is such a fan favorite for a reason! He's a unique take on the classic Peely, giving him that spooky yet still adorable vibe. Whether you're into 'evil Peely' lore or just love the 'Peely Bone drawing' aesthetic, this LEGO set truly captures his essence. It's not just a build; it's a piece of Fortnite history you can display. Is it worth the $99.99? For a 1414-piece set that offers such a distinctive and fun building experience, I'd say absolutely. It’s a sturdy model, and the dual nature of Peely Bone makes it a real conversation starter. If you're a LEGO enthusiast, a Fortnite fanatic, or both, this set is a must-add to your 'legocollection'. What LEGO Fortnite set should I torture myself with next?
