LEGO fans snap up Fortnite Battle Bus in 9p per brick deal that's cheaper than Argos

Fortnite is one of the biggest games in the world, with the younger generation particularly enjoying its online battle royale mode. Over the last couple of years, developer Epic Games has teamed up with LEGO to release physical sets based on the game – and you can currently pick up one of the best reviewed ones from the official site at a price cheaper than Argos.

Featuring 954 pieces, the Fortnite Battle Bus set is iconic and will be recognised immediately by anyone who’s a passing fan of the game. Taking the form of a big blue school bus, it’s hoisted into the air by a massive balloon, transporting players across the map at the start of the match before jumping out to do battle with each other.

Outside of replicating the Fortnite Battle Bus in an accurate way, what’s appealing about this set in particular is the sheer number of minifigures that come with it. Each based on an iconic character from the Fortnite universe, shoppers can expect to receive nine character minifigures, and all of them can slot perfectly into seats onboard the Battle Bus once it’s constructed.

LEGO sets often include themed minifigures alongside their sets, but it’s rare to see so many included in one box. This makes the set appealing whether you’re a Fortnite fan or not, letting you expand your collection quickly for a relatively low price.

Fans of LEGO also often like to take into consideration the price per brick that they’re getting when picking up a new set. With 954 pieces in total, this one works out to around 9p per brick, which as far as fansite Cowlug is concerned is a ‘pretty good deal’.

While Argos is often the retailer of choice when looking for good deals on LEGO, the official site actually pips it to the post at the moment. You
