Will: Last week the competition got real.
Your job is to make these builds look so realistic
We won't be able to tell what's real and what's brick.
- They're really doing the rug? - No way.
Will: This is really, really stupid.
- Can I just say that? - I think you just did.
The teams brought huge ambition
As they tried to trick a special guest.
It's "lego masters" season three winner stacey!
Is it real or is it brick?
( all shouting )
Neena and sam had the rug pulled out from under them
And were forced to play the golden brick.
Paul and nealita's telescope scored them the win
While aubree and ryan's vintage tv set
- Didn't fool anyone. - What?
Tonight, call the fashion police
Because we've got an emergency.
Who wants to make something hot?
Your challenge is to design and build designer bags.
Who will land the coveted magazine cover...
When I say snow, I mean snow.
- Come on, come on. - I'm sorry. It got in my eye.
Will: Let's go! Let's see some movement!
Are you happy, fox? We got it, okay?
...And who will be a fashion fail?
Gonna have to redo this.
( groans )
The hottest "lego masters"
Of the season starts now.
( music playing )
- Ah! - Cool
- Oh, my gosh! - "bric chic."
- Oh, fashion. - Like different seasons?
- Seasons, the seasons. It is seasons. - All right, all right.
It looks like "america's next top lego model."
- Hey, sorry. Sorry I'm late. - Hey.
It's just I was up all night.
And as I'm sure you know,
I've recently been named the editor in chief
- Of fashion's hottest new magazine, "bric chic." - wow.
- Oh! - Sorry.
Just pretend that people still buy magazines, okay?
All right, in order to get a brick up
On our rival publications,
Like "bric-zzare" and "lego-politon,"
I gotta stay at the forefront of what's in.
You know, what's swag, what's drip.
- What? - What?
Definitely not using any of those terms the right way,
But you get what I'm going for.
Look, being fashionable is exhausting, okay?
I can't be bothered to go all the way to fashion week in milan.
It'd be so much nicer if fashion week just came to me.
- Ooh, yeah. - Ooh. Interesting.
Who wants to make something hot?
- Yeah! - ( cheering )
Right?
This week your challenge
Is to design and build functional,
Life-size designer bags.
- Oh! - Okay.
In the end, we are putting on a professional photo shoot.
You will be doing the modeling.
- Oh, my gosh. - Yes!
( indistinct chatter, laughter )
Your epic photoshoot will determine
Who will win the challenge
And land the cover of this month's "bric chic."
- Yeah! - How you feeling about that?
That sound like something you'd be interested in?
All: Yes!
Doesn't matter. You have to do it anyway.
Since we never wanna go out of style,
We're gonna hit all four seasons--
Spring, summer, winter, and fall.
There are eight magazines behind me.
Each team will grab one, and the cover will tell you
Which season you'll be designing for.
- Ooh. - Your bags and your cover photos
Will be judged by our fashion icons, amy and jamie.
Amy, you know fashion.
What are you gonna be looking for this week?
In this challenge, we want you to elevate lego bricks
Into must-have fashion items.
I'm talking luxury detailing,
Sophisticated color choices, and runway-worthy styling
To really match your chosen season.
But this is the first time we're not gonna be looking at your model from a distance.
Your models need to be strong enough for you to pose and work it
For that buzzworthy cover shot moment.
- That was buzzworthy. - Amy: That was.
- When you worked it. - I love it.
Will: I love it, too. All right, fashionistas,
You have eight hours until the photoshoot begins.
On my call, grab a magazine and choose your season.
- Get your brick on. - Aah!
- ( grunts ) - robert, go!
- Ooh. - Oh, my god.
- Okay. - Try not to destroy our set.
- Oh, my gosh. - Okay.
Really artsy, kind of maybe asymmetrical,
Or with some asymmetry in the design.
You could totally have some asymmetry.
Like, not super functional, but looking really good.
- Yeah. - How are we gonna make this open?
- Hinge on the bottom? - Literally just a clamshell.
And have it click close at the top?
We could do woven, but we also need to do structural integrity.
- Sunset, sunset, sunset. - It's a lot of blue right now.
Ooh, sunset. Summer sunset.
I am so into fashion.
I do brand ambassador modeling,
I do website modeling, and I'm like,
"oh, my gosh, I am so excited, like, this is fashion."
- Like, "ahh!" we got this. - Ooh.
Big, big, big, big bag.
Oh, my gosh.
Guys, hey, it's will.
- Hi, will. - Oh, hey.
- How are you? - Super.
- Good. - How are you?
- I'm really, really good. - Are you?
- What season did you guys get? - We have spring.
- It's a little darker than I would... - Well, this is black.
...Usually associate with spring.
You ready? You're about to have your mind blown.
Oh, my god.
Our plan is to make a handbag that is asymmetrical,
Has a tag with a logo on it,
With stitching and a pattern on the outside.
We wanna have one color scheme
With a brighter pop of color in there.
Will: That's really good,
And I think that jamie is gonna like that
'cause he likes anytime you use bricks in a creative way
That's not just seeing too many studs.
- Yes, he does like that, yeah. - Yeah.
Will: Speaking about seeing too many studs,
Have you guys ever been to milan in fashion week?
- I have not. - Forget it!
Who's modeling?
- Not me. - Me, I am.
Okay, do you have a lot of modeling experience?
- No, not a lot. Some. - Some?
But it was eons ago.
- Really? - Yes.
- Come on, not that long ago. - Long ago.
When I was younger, I did do some modeling.
I did catalog ads, print ads,
Like all-american, girl next door type stuff.
Like, not runway. Not fashion.
- Can I see some of your poses? - I don't have any poses.
That's why-- I was not a very good model.
Should I be on the cover of this magazine?
- I think so. - Kelly: Yeah.
Mic drop. Every time.
He can't just walk away casually.
A lot of my mom's bags have a little square logo on them.
- Yeah, like a coach or gucci or something. - Yeah?
I love this build because it's honestly
A really personal build to me and my family.
My mom collects handbags,
And my mom's favorite season is fall.
From an early age, my mom has always been really supportive
In any idea I've had, anything I want to do.
She has always been there to back me up,
And she's an inspiration not only for this build
But an inspiration to me in pretty much everything I do.
- I think the dark orange is a really nice color though. - Robert: I agree.
Will: So you guys are doing spring.
- Sam: Yes. Yes, we are. - Neena: Yeah.
You guys actually have kind of a spring vibe going, too.
- Right now? Yeah, I think so. - Yeah.
- Both of you, I like it.
Flowers in bloom, flowers in bloom.
Which one of you is modeling?
- I will. - Okay, fantastic.
I haven't really done any modeling,
So, yes, I'm a bit nervous about all of that.
We really want to put the emphasis on the bag
And not the model.
So talk to me about your handbag.
- Messenger bag type thing. - I like it.
So this will wrap around completely.
Will: That's really nice.
Sam: So for this challenge
We are making a spring messenger bag
That spreads the word that spring has sprung.
It looks like leather textured weave
In this very organic shape around the top.
It's got a beautiful buckle on the front
And a few gorgeous spring flowers.
By the way, it should be pointed out,
As editor in chief of "bric chic" magazine,
This needs to be really impressive.
- Neena: Oh, yes. - 'cause I take this very seriously.
Neena: Yeah. Okay.
Sam: Will is editor in chief,
But we want to make sure we still impress the judges.
There are six teams left in the competition,
And it all comes down to the fine details now.
Christopher: They're making moveable fabric.
( allyson sighs ) sam's way more experienced.
It's really getting intense.
Yes, absolutely. Like, how can we elevate this?
So, brickmasters, I make fashion look easy, obvi.
- Yeah. - You can tell by the--
Yeah, but this challenge is not easy.
I mean, we're asking our teams to take plastic bricks
And turn them into fashion-worthy designer handbags.
We're gonna need a billion more.
We have to build this so high.
Amy: We're looking for amazing colors,
Sophistication in the patterns and designs,
And some really kind of luxury feeling details in there as well.
It needs to be holding some.
So how many bricks thick should it be?
And they've also chosen a season.
We wanna see how they're actually playing into the season
And making it reflect into their handbag.
- They're building the four seasons... - ( gasps )
And this is our fourth season.
- Oh. - Sorry, I gotta lie down.
- Yeah, this is getting deep. - Fair enough.
I'm curious to see if anybody tries to build fabrics.
- Mixing, flowing things... - Ooh, exactly.
It's gonna be exciting.
This job is exhausting, you guys.
Somebody bring me something, and guess what I want!
Okay.
Will is lying in state.
Anna wintour, she's got nothing on me, girl.
We don't know what is up with will today.
He is, like, so diva.
He's acting like meryl streep in "the devil wears prada."
Builders, make those bags really good.
I need to like them.
I can send anybody home at any time.
- Mm-hmm. - Sassy.
- Jamie. - Yes?
Turn your minifig and say goodbye.
Oh, no!
- No, jamie, no. - Wait, wait, wait.
Wait, jamie, you're not going anywhere.
- You're rehired. - ( sighs )
- I need you. You do so much good work. - Yay!
You know, I've learned a lot about will over these years,
And sometimes you just give him that little bit of power
And it goes right to his head.
I'm back. I'm really inhabiting this role now.
Yeah, wow.
- Hey. - Christopher and robert.
- Hi. How's it going? - Hi.
- Hey there, fashionistas. - Oh, yeah.
What are you making for us today?
Christopher: So we have chosen the fall theme.
Robert: We are building the leaf.
It is a leather, handcrafted, maple leaf shaped bag
That opens up like a clamshell.
We really wanna make this as detailed as possible
By having gold outlines showing the veins of the leaves.
We also want to have it embroidered,
So we're thinking of a pumpkin shape,
A bright orange pumpkin shape with our initials on it.
So, "c&r" is going to be embroidered. That's our designer company.
There's a ton of different ideas on how we wanna decorate them.
I definitely would encourage you to try and whittle down what your concept is.
You two are great at having a million different ideas,
- And I can already hear this. - Yeah.
Who is the fashion model that's gonna be showcasing this in the photo?
I never do anything without my partner in crime,
And as partners in crime, we'll be modeling it together...
- That's the hope. - ...In the photoshoot.
I think you've got a solid start.
There are some really clever ideas here.
I think it's about that editorial eye.
- Amy: Yeah. - Yeah.
Really make everything purposeful.
That's a good suggestion. Thank you. Yeah, absolutely.
Here, I can take a few lessons from my mom's choice in designer bags.
I always remember her telling me, "don't be too tacky.
Make sure it doesn't feel too busy. Keep it classy."
- Good luck. Keep at it. - Good luck.
Both: Thank you.
Watch this. I'm gonna do a check in.
You ready? This is how you do a check in.
Okay, I'm watching.
- No. - Oh.
- Oh, wow. - Eh.
Are you joking?
Um, working hard?
- ( amy laughs ) - wow.
Nice try.
- Jamie: Wow, will. You got it. - Amy: Whew!
Oh, uh...
The fashion world can be brutal.
- Luis and alex. - What's up, will?
- Hey, will. - Talk to me about your bag.
- Our bag is gonna be very fashionable. - Sell me on it.
Our bag is gonna be very miami influenced.
You know? The feel and the vibes of miami.
Snore. I need more.
What season is it by the way that you're doing?
- Summer. I am. - Who's modeling this?
What's your pose gonna be, alex?
We have a beach scene, so I'm hoping to rock a speedo.
- Hold the phone. - We're going for the wow factor.
Going for the wow factor is right.
Luis: Our bag is gonna be very miami influenced.
We wanna bring bright colors.
The shape of our build is gonna be a triangle.
Being from miami, we see the sails on the horizon often,
So we're inspired by that shape.
Maybe after, I'll ask you guys to make me my own little
- Sort of man bag. - You got it.
- Sounds like a deal. - All right.
And then I might wanna borrow one of your speedos.
- I'll see you after. - All right.
- Gladly. Yeah. - He's got plenty.
- Paul and nealita. - Hey.
- Hi. - Will: What season did you guys get?
- Is it winter? - Paul: Winter, yes.
Are you the only winter team?
- We are, yes. - Yes.
- Advantage. - Both: Exactly.
And we're from the midwest, so, you know--
And you're from the midwest, so you guys know about winter.
- Paul: All about winter. - Nealita: Exactly.
So talk to me about your bag.
Our bag is more like a mini duffle bag purse.
- Oh, I love a duffle bag. - Yeah.
Paul: It's gonna be round with lots of grays and blues.
Nealita: It's gonna be a little bit bigger than an average-size purse.
You know, you might be able to put a dog in there or something.
You know, anything. Who knows?
Wait, fashion people love putting dogs into bags.
- Exactly! - Hey, this is a great idea.
- Paul: Yes. - So do you have your pose down?
- Oh, yeah. Wanna see? - Yes, I do!
- Okay, okay, okay. - Oh, that's good.
Oh, yeah, I like that. Maybe some attitude, too.
- Not even smiling. - There we go.
- Oh, girl! Get it! - Yeah!
- Ahh, girl! - And maybe something a little wintery.
Oh, I like that.
More fun than watching her is watching your face.
You're like, "oh, my gosh. Oh, my gosh."
I can't wait for this photoshoot.
You have four hours left.
Do not disappoint me today, builders.
- Five, four, three... - What?
Will: I could! Two. I could!
I could! I won't. Keep building.
- Wow. - Whew.
- Hi! - Hey, hello.
- Allyson and melanie, hello. - ♪ hello
- Hi. - What is your idea? So what are you building?
- Allyson: So we have summer. - Melanie: So we're thinking of beach vibes.
Since we're from california, we have beautiful california sunsets.
- Okay. - Melanie: Since it's summer,
We're thinking how about a big beach bag?
We're gonna think of maybe doing a different color on the back.
Allyson: Like daytime/nighttime.
- Amy: Okay. - Both: Yeah.
But right away we're seeing a big structure here.
- Both: We wanna go big. - You wanna go big?
- Yeah. - We're trying. I'm like--
- ( gasping ) - okay.
So we love that you're going big,
But really wanna make sure it feels fashion,
It feels elevated,
And it doesn't feel like a cooler
That you would have on the beach.
It's gonna be almost bigger than her, I feel like.
- It's gonna be bigger than me. - That's what I was wondering
- Is how do envision this bag being held? - Yeah.
And, melanie, you're gonna be wearing this.
I'm sure I could work the bag with the photoshoot.
I mean, I do have in mind some poses that I can do.
So just along the way start thinking about that.
Hold it. Try to say, "the strap should be here. It should be this long."
Whatever you're doing, I just wanna make sure
That since you're gonna be the model,
That you feel comfortable with what you're modeling.
- All right. - We shall see.
- We're excited for you. - Yeah? Feeling good?
We can't wait to see it come together.
- Allyson: Me, too. - Yeah, it is really big,
And if we need to add a strap, I can't hold it.
Like, I think we need to make it smaller.
We have to literally change everything.
Like, what do we do? We're kind of in frantic mode right now.
We can't just sit and think. We had to do that in the beginning.
I don't know what to do now, mel.
( sighs )
Okay.
Now I'm starting to get nervous.
We only had eight hours to begin with.
Now we have a lot less time.
So we decide that we need to make it smaller,
And at this point there is no time
To think about shape or form or anything new.
We just need a bag.
We need something finished and complete.
Melanie: I know we worked on it a lot,
But it needs to be smaller.
( groans )
- So our teams are hard at work on their designer bags... - Yeah.
...And kind of starting to get a diva vibe
From a few of them.
Which is not okay
Because I'm supposed to be the only diva on set.
Okay.
But besides that,
Who do you think is standing out to you
And, like, really taken this challenge and doing well so far?
Christopher and robert, they're actually creating
A very nice, clean, maple leaf shape.
They're being very deliberate with this build,
And it's actually quite refreshing to see.
Paul and nealita are building big,
And it's looking like it has
A very interesting shape right now.
Amy: It's also very gray.
I'm hoping they do have the time to put some nice details in
That we really expect for the it-bag of the moment.
Who do you think is struggling here?
Who's having a tougher time kind of getting their head around this challenge?
I think allyson and melanie.
I feel for them. They've had a late pivot.
Amy: And they've actually taken their build apart with only three hours left.
So I'm just rooting for them to actually get a build finished.
Allyson: Gonna have to redo this.
Luis and alex, they're taking inspiration from miami.
They're thinking about the sailboats,
And they're using that shape to construct their bag.
I think this could really work.
It really feels like a kind of
Couture collection theme,
And that's what we wanna see in this challenge
Is elevated fashion.
Jamie: It now it's just a matter of can they pull it together?
I see all potential and all risk
Because this is a bag that is flexing in all directions.
Right now, everything just wants to bend into itself.
It's gonna be such a nightmare connecting that to these studs.
Will: And then at the end of it,
They don't just have to complete it,
- Then they have to model it themselves. - Yes.
Will: I can't wait to get to that photoshoot
So I can really boss people around
And get them to do what I want them to do.
Oh. Okay.
Will: When I get into that fashion vibe,
I really know what I want,
And it's important for me to boss people--
I mean, to get what I want.
- A vision. - Okay.
I'm not doing all this just so I can boss people around.
That would be insane.
I am doing it for that reason.
8, 9, 10, 11.
Hello. Look at this color, luis and alex.
- Hello, wow. - Hi. How are you guys?
- This is fresh. - Thank you.
So talk to us a little bit about how
This is gonna come together as a bag.
So we're working on our two halves.
Those treads are gonna be the strap
And the support that brings the two pieces together.
We want it to be sturdy, but also have some flexibility.
- Jamie: This sounds exciting. - Amy: Okay, yeah.
I have to say, I'm very curious to see how this turns out.
- So are we. - You have so many flexible, jointed, moving pieces.
Really think through where is this being suspended from?
Because there's a lot of forces going in a lot of different directions.
I'd really encourage you to think through
Where do you need it to stay in form
And where can you let it be flexible?
- Okay. - Because there is a risk
That this will become like a grocery bag in some ways.
That as soon as you grab those handles,
It just wants to become a big, you know, squish.
You've got some really clever ideas here.
- Leave time for that testing. - Amy: Good luck.
We're gonna let you keep building.
Thank you, guys. Appreciate it.
Work on the zipper or something. There's stuff you can do.
The brickmasters are pushing us
To think about textures on our bag,
So we're thinking about adding a different piece,
That way it's not just flat tiles on there.
So I decided to use teeth for a zipper with the--
It's a 1x2 plate with about three teeth coming out of it,
And it's working out really well so far.
Gonna stop it-- yeah. Stop it right there.
- Cute. - Yep.
Brickmasters, what's your favorite season?
- I think I'm kind of a summer gal. - Yeah, fall here.
Yeah, I like the fall, too.
- I like watching things change color. Like leaves... - Okay. That's nice.
- ...And builders, you know? - Both: What?
- One hour left! - ( screams )
- Aah! - Oh, my god.
- You have one hour left. - Whoo!
- Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. - I know, I know.
Isn't the studio just lovely this time of year?
- ( alarm blaring ) - let's get going.
- Let's put these on and just attach. - Yep.
I'm so nervous. I need to flip this upside down.
At this point, we have a big box.
Whatever happens happens.
We should round out the sides, we should round out the top,
But we just don't have time for that.
Very cool. Love it.
Okay, now I just have to figure out how to attach it.
Okay, let's see what happens when we pick it up.
Luis: Our bag, for all the good things it has going for it,
It's very frail, it's very delicate.
We don't know if it's gonna hold together.
- Okay. - Just...
There's a lot of panic setting in right now.
We don't know how we're gonna get this together.
I think we may need to pivot.
You know what? Take it off. Take everything off.
All the hinges off.
We're just scrambling to get whatever we can done,
Add as many plates to support it as best we can.
Forget flexibility, we're just creating a big giant panel.
At this point, it's gonna take a miracle for us to pull this thing off.
- One minute left! - Oh, my gosh!
- What? - Finish those bags.
Every detail matters!
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up. Pick it up, pick it up.
Hurry, hurry. Hurry that up.
( groans )
Allyson: Gonna add our detail now, and do as best as we can.
Little disappointed we were not able to round out the top.
It was just a time thing.
- Try it. - No, it's gonna break.
I'm gonna put my hand under it. Let go.
- No, no, no, no, no. - I don't think it's gonna hold.
Alex: We have something to present the judges,
But the bag is a lot more fragile than we expected.
So clearly the photoshoot might be more difficult than we expected.
There's no picking it up off the ground.
Judges: Five, four, three, two, one.
Time's up! Bricks down.
- ( cheers and applause ) - ( groans )
- Good job, everyone. - Look at that.
- Good job. We did it. - All right, congratulations.
Now it's time for the "lego masters"
- Four seasons photoshoot. - Yeah.
I'm ready though. Hold on.
Alex: I'm really hoping that my modeling will be able to save us.
Alex is gonna shine so bright in this photoshoot
That it's gonna distract from all the flaws on our bag.
Get to work, people.
( music playing )
- I cannot-- - let's go, guys.
- Uh-oh. - Come on, we came here to work.
- Oh, my god! It's will! - Let's work it.
Here we are hanging out at a fashion shoot,
Sipping on overpriced sparkling waters,
Ready to yell at people.
Gotta say, sometimes I really do love this job.
( slurps )
Montage!
( music playing )
The key to a good photoshoot is obviously having me in it.
Let's go. I wanna see some poses.
Well, see, here's the thing.
- Every side is my good side. - What a predictable answer.
Three, two, one.
Look up at will.
Say, "this is my bag," with your eyes.
But also say it.
They want high fashion. They want "vogue."
They want this to be a fashion magazine cover.
Roll your shoulders forward.
Slouch just a little bit more and break one of your knees.
Yes, queen!
- I think you need a lot. - Right, a whole lot. That ain't doing nothing.
When I say snow, I mean snow. Make it snow.
- That looks great. - Ooh.
Make it really-- this is-- come on.
- Come on, come on, come on. - Ooh, I'm sorry. It got in my eye.
You love the snow. You're loving it with your bag.
I can't work with these models.
- Who's in charge here, me or you? - ( mock screaming )
It's me. It's my magazine.
Ice cream, loving it.
Kick a leg up. Leg up.
- Leg up? - Leg up. Yeah, there we go.
This is amazing. You guys, you got my essence.
Sam: Will is a stunning creative force.
Having him in the room
Is inspirational.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Uh, no. Can we do this?
This is a family show.
Alex: I'm doing the modeling for the photoshoot,
And come to think of it, I'm not sure why.
All right, let's start snapping, okay? I don't have all day.
- There we go. - Yes. Work it.
Very nice.
- Mind if I keep these on so I don't have to look? - So sexy.
Let's go! Let's see some movement!
Pretend that you've lived before,
That you like being on this planet.
Guys, come on, move.
And more snow!
Boy, what's wrong with you?
Will: You know, this shot needs more balls.
Let's get some balls in there. More balls.
Go ahead. There we go.
More-- no, not at me.
Balls.
- Luis: Work it, work it. - That's fun. Whimsical.
Are you happy, fox? We got it, okay?
Brickmasters, I don't wanna oversell this,
But we just had the best shoot
In the history of photography and fashion.
- Love it. Amazing. - Wow.
Yeah, I can't wait for you to see these cover shots
And hear what you think of their bags.
- Ooh. - Christopher and robert.
You were the only team to model together,
But you still only get paid once.
Tell us about your bag.
Christopher: Elegance,
Sophistication, class.
Introducing the leaf, the perfect bag for fall.
This bag is capacious, but not ludicrously so.
It's not the kind of bag you would slide across the floor in a bank heist
Or stuff hors d'oeuvres into at a dinner party
To take free food, because those are low-class.
You see, our bag is the perfect size for high society events,
Galas, dinner parties, hostile company takeovers,
All of events I'm sure we're all used to.
And this bag, everyone is falling for it.
( all groaning )
I like what you did there.
If I can break character for just a moment,
I'll stop being the villain for a second.
Um, we initially kind of struggled a little bit
With coming up with the idea for this bag
Until I thought back to my mom
And I remembered I actually got her a bag for christmas
That had a repeating pattern along the sides,
Which kind of influenced our design.
I guess I'll just say,
"ma, if you're listening, this one's for you."
- Oh! - We really tried to bring in
The theme of fall with this bag.
Of course, the bag is shaped like an autumn leaf,
And we built a clasp so that we can open and close the bag as well.
- Oh, my gosh! - ( overlapping chatter )
- Really works. - Wow.
That's quite spectacular.
All right, brickmasters, what do you think?
What a fantastic cover photo. You've got confidence.
You're placing that bag perfectly,
And it really brings focus to those gold trim details
That are elevating your model into a beautiful handbag.
What a playful display of nice parts usage-- npu.
You know I love that stuff.
You're using binoculars and a roller skate
To create a very nice detail on the side,
And yet I see none of those as individual elements.
I just see this as a premium logo.
Really well done.
- Thank you so much. - Thanks.
And it was nice-- I gotta say on a serious note,
It was nice, christopher, to finally meet you,
Uh, today here.
Great job. Really fun bag.
So good, you guys.
Christopher: During the entire build, I just kept thinking
Of what would my mom like in a bag?
And winning challenge would just mean a lot,
And I know that she's gonna be hopefully watching the show
And hopefully will like what we've done.
Allyson and melanie, you're up.
Remind me, allyson, what season you're building for.
- We have summer. Yes. - Summer, okay.
Could you please tell us about your "bric chic" design?
Allyson: This is our beach bag,
Our california sunny beach bag.
The bag is for day or night. The front side is daytime.
When you turn it around, there's a sunset.
The handle comes off because we have wheels,
So that way we can pull it.
Okay, brickmasters, what do you think?
I mean, what a great cover photo.
You are really working the camera, melanie,
And your bag certainly screams summer.
I love the colors that you've used,
And I especially the sunset colors.
Jamie: It is a very fun bag,
And you are showing some fun details here.
The strap can come off, and the fact that you added the wheels
Does offer a different interaction
Than anybody else is showing in the room.
But I do think that you had some challenges.
It is feeling quite square
Because you didn't have the time to give us a bit of curvature,
To even just do anything to break up that square.
And I think right now when I look at it
And look around the room at all of the others,
I am struggling to see this as a real bag
And not something that's made out of lego bricks.
Well, we both knew that we didn't have the best build.
We were just hoping we could fix it in time
And finish it in time.
I just-- I don't know if it's enough.
Luis and alex, you're up.
- Good luck, friend. - Thank you.
You got it, buddy.
First of all, alex, how does it feel to be wearing clothes again?
It feels nice.
Good. Good for you. How was the photoshoot?
- It was amazing. - It was fun.
I blocked the entire thing out.
There are a few minor flaws here and there,
So I thought if alex was really shining bright...
- Yeah. - Okay.
...It might overshadow some of those flaws.
So I think he pulled that off
'cause you cannot take your eyes off him in that photoshoot.
He pulled it off. He pulled most of it off.
- ( laughter ) - luis: Yeah, right.
Tell us about your bag.
Alex: So, we had summer.
It's the only season we're familiar with,
Being from miami.
We decided to go with some '80s miami vibes
And bring a lot of color, and it's a beach bag.
We went more fashion than function.
Luis: We're really happy with the design.
We just wish the structure was a little stronger,
But we're pretty happy with the outcome.
Okay, brickmasters, what do you think?
I have to say this is 100% commitment,
And, wow, when I said "work it,"
I had no idea you could work it that way.
And actually, strangely, by your body actually matching the sand,
It really gives this framing to the bag perfectly.
- It's just-- it - ( laughter )
I can't take my eyes off of the bag.
I love that you took inspiration from something you know, which is miami.
I also think it really helps you to capture the summer vibes.
I mean, what shouts "summer" more than those bright colors?
And I think the fact that you actually blocked the colors
Rather than just throwing them all over
Really, really helps for it to feel elevated.
It feels much more fashion, so I love that.
I think you also will acknowledge there are some rough spots.
I could tell that in the photos
That you have to put it on the ground.
It's not probably a bag that you could comfortably wear and feel confident with.
But I really, really liked that you dove right in with ambition
To just try something different.
- Thank you. - Okay, great job, you two.
- Thank you. - Good job.
- Emilee and kelly, you're up. - Yeah!
( overlapping chatter )
Emilee and kelly, tell us about your "bric chic" design.
Emilee: This "bric chic" design is for spring 2024.
It is a vegan custom leather color
Woven into a 24-karat top stitch
With a braided detail and a little clasp
To come over with a pop of color.
Thinking of fashion first,
We think of high fashion and avant-garde
Being less about function and more about wearable art.
Brickmasters, what think you?
Amy: We have to start with this cover shot because it is fire.
Not only do you look absolutely amazing, kelly,
And you're totally working the camera,
But you're really celebrating that bag.
Then the way you've used the different slopes
In different directions, it feels like a woven fabric, and I love that.
It kind of tricks me that it's lego bricks at all,
And that's really what we did wanna see in this challenge.
And you actually created a brand,
Because that little tag also took some design work
Because that's why people pay the premium
Is because it's the brand.
They want people to see that,
And you give it a really nice placement.
As a construction, I think some of your ambitions
Weren't able to be fully met.
It's rough in how it comes together.
Amy: Those hinges that you used to get the shape
Are really showing,
So I would've loved if you'd found some details
That could've helped you to hide that.
Jamie: But I have to say you've really,
Really captured the essence of this challenge
And went all in with a very compelling bag.
- Nice bag. Great job. - Thank you. Thank you.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
Neena and sam, you're up.
- Whoo! - Let's go.
Tell us about your "bric chic" design.
Sam: We at the neena and sam design house
Are pleased to present the editors of "bric chic"
With our sneak preview of the spring 2024 line.
This is our spring messenger bag.
There's plenty of pockets to store your messages in
And really spread the word that spring has sprung.
Brickmasters, what do you think?
I have to say, neena, this is a great cover photo.
- That's right. - You look so comfortable,
And the bag is right there center stage
Just like we want it to be.
I love the technique that you used to build the bag.
It really gives us this nice textured,
Woven, almost like a kind of tapestry feel,
Which I think you do see in many high-end bags.
It's the size I'm actually excited about
Because that is a very complex shape to have to cover,
And then still having the confidence to add some additional things
Like the attachment of the flower.
So really great job to both of you on that one.
- Thank you. - On the strap, as a functional thing,
It doesn't look very comfortable,
So just be mindful of that.
The curvature elsewhere
Could've really benefited your strap as well.
But you've done something really beautiful
And made a very compelling cover photo.
You guys have proven to be once again very--
Your ambition is just sky high.
- Fantastic job. Well done. - Thank you.
Paul and nealita, you're up.
- Yeah! - Yay, guys!
Yay! Get it.
All right, so tell us about your "bric chic" design.
Nealita: The name of our bag, it is winter wonder purse,
Due to the fact that it is so big,
You're always gonna be wondering what's inside.
For me personally, I love big bags,
And I also used to have, like, two dogs.
So I thought, yeah, we have to do a big bag to match big personality
And a bag big enough to fit dogs if we could, you know?
I love it. All right, brickmasters, what do you think?
- Nealita, the camera loves you. - Yes! And I love the camera.
That is really a stunning photo.
But I have to say,
As stunning as you were, the bag is really standing out.
It's just beautifully crafted.
And you've got some beautiful detailing.
I have to admit, that zipper just sells me on it right away.
The fact it's made out of teeth,
You've beautiful interlaced them so it looks like a zipper,
And then you've got a skeleton body.
- A skeleton body, and I believe it's a zipper! - He's crazy.
- Great job. - Thank you.
I think if I'm gonna do a little bit of nitpicking,
I would've loved to just see a few more details, like that luggage tag.
There maybe could've been a few more small things like that
That you put in that just gave a little bit of edge to your bag.
But overall, really, really great job.
- Well done. - Thank you.
Really fun bag. Really great shots.
- Great job, you two. - Both: Thank you.
- Yay! - Good job.
( indistinct chatter )
I loved how the pictures turned out.
Those are probably the best pictures I ever took in my life.
I was beautiful, the purse was beautiful.
- So you're welcome. - Thanks.
- Okay. - It was mainly me though.
This week, we held our first ever
Seasonal fashion photoshoot.
- Our builders/models... - Mm-hmm.
...Killed it with their seasonal bags,
Which was great for me and my magazine.
You guys saved my job. Thank you.
But, brickmasters, now it's up to you
To decide who finished with the top build
And a starring role on the cover of "bric chic."
Brickmasters, please give me the names of the top two teams.
The first team is...
Brickmasters, please give me the names of the top two teams.
The first team is...
Paul and nealita.
- Oh, my... - Let's go!
( laughs )
The second team is...
- Christopher and robert. - Yes!
- Good job, boys! - Both: Congrats.
Jamie: Paul and nealita,
The first thing everyone is talking about
Was that cover photo.
- You were stunning. - Nealita: Thank you.
But I have to say, your bag was equally exciting.
This was a bold bag with beautiful curvature,
Complex geometries that you just patched perfectly,
Which allowed you to add those details
Like that stunning zipper on the front that just made us smile.
Christopher and robert, you really gave us
An it-worthy bag that made a statement.
We loved your bold shape,
You had luxurious fall colors,
And you had gorgeous details in there.
And let's not forget that cover photo.
It was really something epic.
All right, which cover model captured the top spot this week?
Only one team can be the cover stars.
And the winner is...
- Christopher and robert. - ( cheers and applause )
- Good job. - You look so cool!
How are you guys feeling after winning that?
Both of us came into here not really having built
- That many custom lego builds-- - or any, really.
So the fact that we've gone to the top is amazing.
It was really cool to be able to build something
That hopefully my mom will like,
And I hope she watches this and likes it.
Well, I hope she watches, too.
We need the viewers.
We do.
Well, great job. Come on up here and get
The newest edition of "bric chic."
- Thank you so much. - Amy: Congratulations.
I think my ma needs to get a lifetime subscription
- To "bric chic magazine" now. - Ah, of course.
( indistinct chatter )
I'll speak to will about it.
This was a really tough challenge,
And it's gonna be hard to say goodbye
To one of the remaining teams, but sadly that's where we're at.
- So, brickmasters... - Yeah.
...Please give me the names of the bottom two teams.
Jamie: The first team is...
Luis and alex.
And the second team is...
Allyson and melanie.
Luis and alex, unfortunately your bag
Just didn't materialize in the way any of us expected.
It was quite fragile,
And honestly it just wasn't ready for the runway.
Amy: Allyson and melanie,
This challenge was all about elevating the lego brick
To create designer handbags that really did fool the eye.
But unfortunately, your blocky build just didn't work.
And in terms of technical ambition,
Your bag felt a little more basic.
Will: Well, we have to say goodbye to one team.
The team that is going home today is...
Allyson and melanie.
- How are you feeling right now? - We didn't know we were gonna get this far on the show.
- We thought we were gonna get out second, honestly. - Come on, really?
- Yeah. - Yeah, and I'm really glad
To have this experience with her.
I couldn't have done it with anyone else.
I love that. Allyson and melanie,
I know it's always sad to say goodbye.
I really hope that you're so proud.
You've shown us some amazing builds throughout the season,
And you've really shared your passion
And your love of building with us.
But sadly, your "lego masters" journey ends here.
Please turn in your minifigs and say goodbye.
- Bye. - ( laughs, sniffles )
I am disappointed that we couldn't do more with it.
Allyson: I'm just really proud of mel.
I'm proud of you!
This is such a special experience.
It's definitely an experience we will never forget.
It's been amazing.
Will: Next week...
We teamed up "lego 2k drive."
You're gonna pick one race car and one water vehicle.
We'll smash them together.
You'll take all the pieces from your smash
To create remote-controlled vehicles
That you will race on our custom-made course.
- ( beeps ) - go!
- Christopher, stop! - A-ha-ha!
- Christopher! - Both: "christopher!"
- "christopher!" - christopher!
