"Watch Out For Mando!"
After Chapter 2, Season 5 began in Fortnite, our squad was enjoying rolling around the dunes of Salty Towers in our pickup truck-turned mobile fortress.
Unfortunately, The Mandalorian was also added to the game as an opponent to be found on the map, and we had many near misses trying to run from his deadly combination of jetpack and rifle.
Using the Bear truck design shown previously, I built our squad frantically on the run in a truck as "Mando" shoots at us from behind.
From left to right, I also built in-game versions of myself, my brother, and our friends to complete the scene.

"Shy Guy's ATV"
Yet another Mariokart build, this time showcasing a quad bike design from Mariokart 8 Deluxe, compatible with the Shy Guy design from the LEGO Super Mario sets. Just like the "Standard Kart 8" I built in 2020, It has hinging wheels for Anti-Gravity Mode, and can attach a glider or propellor as needed for aerial or underwater racing.

"Yoshi's Bike"
Alongside the ATV above, I also built a motorcycle for the Yoshi figure, complete with Anti-Gravity wheels and compatibility with a glider and propellor.

"Chonker Tires"
A quick little addition I created for my Fortnite truck, emulating the all-terrain "Chonker" tires after they were added to the game.
My LEGO Chonkers had functional suspension and could be easily swapped with the normal wheels for a modified or original version of the vehicle.

"Ghostbusters: Afterlife - Ecto 1"
After seeing Ghostbusters: Afterlife in theaters, I was sorely regretting not having purchased the official LEGO Ecto 1 car back in the day. Luckily, I owned the version from the 2016 reboot, and was able to steal the Ghostbusters logo pieces to try and make my own.
My design incorporates a 6-stud wide build, with a roughly 7-stud wide base. Unfortunately, this is my only picture, but I did recreate the opening side door with a gunner's seat that swivels out for trapping on the move.
This Ecto 1 would be the first of many more movie cars I would recreate in LEGO form.
