LEGO Fortnite Battle Bus Review

When the Lego Fortnite sets were announced, my kids were super excited about the Fortnite Battle Bus. All of the other Fortnite sets were very much displays sets, made for the most part to be put on a desk to be like that. But the Battle Bus, that was a set that could be played with.
