Next up on our reviews of the LEGO Fortnite sets, we take a look at one of the most iconic things in the game with the Supply Llama (77071). The set has 691 pieces and retails for $39.99. The build features the Fortnite Llama pinata which drops a number of supplies in the game.
The foundation of the Llama is mostly made up of various color plates while using some SNOT on side plates for the side panels later on. At the end of Bag 2, we have the back section where the supplies are stored. The area has some black slope pieces for the supplies to drop out easily. There’s also a “door” that you can fill up the Llama with supplies.
Bag 3 is where some of the many repetitive parts are for the Supply Llama. There are plates that you use various colored cheese and curved slopes to get the pinata paper detailing.
The next bag continues with the pinata detailing for the front and back of the Llama. We also have the tail which also uses some curve pieces to get that paper ribbon effect and are clipped on.
For Bag 5, we start building up the neck, which again, uses SNOT bricks so we can add detailing to the sides without having studs showing at the end. The neck will follow the same outline of using cheese slopes and curved slopes on plates to get the paper details. The sides of the neck will use larger angled plates to cover more area.
Finally for the last bag, we build the head as well as adding the legs. The head has uses printed eyes but uses a sticker for the nose. There are some brown plates used which represent the straps that go around the mouth. As for the mouth, it is able to open and close a little. The ears can move up and down but can also move outwards bit. The whole head clips on to the neck and sits slightly angled down.
The legs are fairly thin which is what the in-game model also looks like. They are clipped on to the sides and are secured by 1×12 plates on either side while additionally secured by lavender curved slopes. The legs can move in and out a little bit but there’s no worries that it’ll fall over.
Lastly, the saddle supply area of the Llama has stickers of a chest on either side of the panels. To keep the panels “locked”, there are some latches that hold them closed.
For the various supplies that the Llama can hold, we have the Grappler, Slurp Juice, Rough Ruby, Back Pack, Good Luck Charm, two Slap Juice, and a stick of Dynamite. Surprisingly, all the items do fit inside the Llama if you strategically layer the items.
Overall, the LEGO Fortnite Supply Llama (77071) is a decent representation of the one from the game. The price of the set is not too bad but keep in mind there are a lot of cheese and curved slopes that make up a good amount of the parts count. Other than the repetitiveness of building the pinata details, I don’t see any downsides of the set. Even with that, the layering of the colors look really nice.
