40728 Brite Bomber

• Pieces: 151
• Release date: From 1 October 2024 for LEGO Insiders and all shoppers from 4 October, runs until 7 October
• Qualifying purchase thresholds: US$90/ £80/ €90/ AU$150 from LEGO.com and stores while supplies last. Pick a Brick 'Standard' orders are excluded.

40728 Brite Bomber celebrates one of the most prominent characters in the LEGO Fortnite game with her own LEGO Brickheadz model. (ED - eagle-eyed viewers will notice that this version of Brite Bomber has unfortunately dressed in the dark and has her pants on back to front)

The US$90/ £80/ €90/ AU$150 threshold means that 77072 Peely Bone and 77073 Battle Bus will include this GwP. If you haven't seen my breakdown of every new element in each of the 4 Fortnite LEGO sets, check it out now!

Some detailed shaping makes up Brite Bomber’s head despite the LEGO BrickHeadz theme employing simple, blocky construction.

Her signature purple shades rest angled atop her head with the help of clip and bar elements.

As is the norm for GwPs, few noteworthy elements are included. This set does treat builders to a unique adorable bright pink llamacorn 1x4 brick and a magenta 4x2 curved slope, seen in just two other sets since 2023.

• Brick 1 x 4 in Bright Pink with Llamacorn, Rainbow, and Cloud pattern (6515171)

Brite Bomber's only new element is a single llamacorn-printed 1x4 brick.

• Slope Curved 4 x 2 No Studs in Bright Reddish Violet/ Magenta (6443846 | 93606)

The one magenta 4x2 curved slope is rare, especially since no 4x1 version (11153) has been produced in the same colour.
